Whispyrs guild kills Sikran in 3 mins kekw
???
adds have to be literally up rash's asshole to get hit by spatter
How come Force Induction is a thing now and do you play it differently than without it?
3 min mythic Sikran is pumping
Should I swap from Dawn threads to ascension today…
its like less than 1% of a difference ngl
Probably not bc the likelihood of another 639 dagger dropping is high, with me as the only rogue
It’s more so factoring
What mythic pieces I’ll get
And what I can keep at 636
Its so much more worth to just upgrade gear with crests atm
Makes me want to craft even though it’s “sub” optimal
I need to change them to crit mast
Anyway
So why not swap embellishments while I’m at it
do you though
They’re haste mast rn
yeah
Bc I thought it’d be smart to offset
but
Some haste in there
In AOE
I mean if you raid I’d just keep it
am i tripping or does scent sometimes break? my stacks went from 4 to 0 with rupture still up and i had to rerupture again to regain the stack
i really dont think its going to be that massive in aoe either but
do whatever you want with your gold idc its not mine
You’re five healing rash 
Also
Quick Q about single target rotation, if your envenom is active and your max combo points do you wait/pool to proc envenom again when the timer runs low or just hit it for dps
Yeah I’m not a paypiggy
You’re missing war buff didn’t second pot and didn’t hit max stacks kb at end
That’ll do it
boss died as soon as i clicked KB
5% attack power. No 2nd tempered pot…
What’s your boss damage parse
Just boss damage
when deathmark expires, it bugs it out, and lose the stacks until you reapply
That’s crazy
I almost don’t want to use DM in trash now
But I’d be inting
since when was this happening? first time ive heard about it
i think you only lose the stacks from that 1 target

idk probably since df who knows

apm assa is now
It did not
That’s ten seconds before kill time
Yeah I hit 250+ that could use some work
Missed a tea usage too that could have helped (haven’t super deep dove beyond basics am at work)
bro i dont even talent caustic
Rip stonks
the adds get dropped on the very front of the boss target circle
i'm never getting caustic uptime
Caustic is part of it but also like, you can’t play around guild strat or play so sometimes it just is what it is
If adds aren’t down the bosses ass on the very edge you’re missing that dam
ok
idk how else to explain to you that my guild drops the adds such that caustic spatter does not hit any of them
!wax
- Can be pickpocketed from kobolds in e.g. The Ringing Deeps. (needs The Final Candle questline completed.)
- Only use it on one weapon. (does not stack)
any rough idea in m+ bosses how many env's you guys get in kb window?
5cps or max?
perfect seal fate procs
any that i like? so all of them are viable?
How much energy should i be pooling before sending KB in m+ st without DM
i dont, trying to understand how many cps env's are ideal during windows 🥲
got it, thanks man
between duskthread / dawnthread and ascension + patch yes pretty much
Howdy, always interested in leveling a Rogue and really getting into the class, just never made the effort. From what i've heard, it's a really difficult to master class with lots of keybinds, is that true? I'm kinda intimidated ayy
Button bloat isn’t too bad tbh, maybe spec dependent
Hard to master maybe, but skill ceiling is a good thing for a class.
Skill floor is what you’re asking about and I’d say that rogue is pretty approachable in that sense
not really much
like, its a wow class
none of them are giga complicated or smth like that
do i want acendance or dawnthread
yes
rogue is definitely up there in term of complexity
it's not BM hunter
let's be honest
Well, I'm used to playing Shaman, which has a fair amount of bloat
yeah shaman is giga bloated
WAKE OF ASHES WAKE OF ASHES
but i dont associate bloat to complexity necessarily
Ascension only goes on a crafted weapon correct?
theres no way to get it on other equips?
correct
In single target am i trying to stay over 150 energy for the bonus sanguine blade damage or nah
for a run where I was making an active effort to not rely on hekili
i think thats pretty alright
so sanguine blades not worth for st and just send mut+envenom spams
in low keys its kinda "impossible" to check how much you can do
at least you dont keep getting this or sv
idk man wake is legit my favorite key this season
i like sv
Wake is fine
do the extra seconds from subterfuge work with iron wire?
But dawn is a banger

nice
It doesnt extend the silence, but you can silence upto 12 seconds after leaving stealth
Even on +13 SoB you won’t do any dps because you are not able to ramp on the first two pulls, you have a shami, dk or ret in the group = ggs
The silences are still 5s
thanks
its fine i just pref mist/db
prob my favs atm
and ara kara ofc
I hate mist bc of the stupid maze
im legit like, oh this and this and that means this way... and by the time im walking into it someone else sent us all to the start
i always have someone i know healing so i dont need to think about it 
Yeah wow players and kindergarten puzzles don't mix well
i wouldnt mind it if i didnt have to go sit on the statue to see what symbol it is XD
true and based
I might miss something, of it might be normal, but why does the quick sim only apply rupture on the second target at 40s ?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/kuVJUey2uGEt4Ppv8tkdfS
then when u ping a statue for someone to go see it they go "oop this the way" proceeds to walk through the wrong door
i know how it works just annoying to sit on them instead of having a healer just soloing them
Nah I'm messing. People who fuck up the guessing game are hilarious though
honestly if it just outright killed u for picking wrong and didnt tp the party back i think that would be best
i did the first few keys since i havent played retail since wod xdd
so i was a bit confused at first glance
Is this actually worth a lot
That is a funny ass idea actually
Im being hella whispered
what are the stats that i should put on my crafted dagger?
I always die inside if the healer doesnt do the puzzle
yes
sim it, but probably crit / mastery
Im likely keeping this right
simming
Unless you want gold, done for the season etc
nah vers haste 100%
im memeing dont listen to me
Or you can sell it and need on all future ones!
won't the game prevent trading it if he doesn't have a high water mark of 626 on neck without it?
i would use that in a heart beat so send it over
or am i still previous expansion brained?
that's only personal loot - stuff from end of keys for example, things won by rolling can be traded to anyone in the group
anyone find a solution to not hitting like a wet napkin on bosses in high keys
am i looking for rupture on just 3 targets in say a 6 target pack or should i just be fan rupture tab fan rupture etc to maintain 6 while spreading garrote on cd across 3 mobs
always maintain as many stacks of scent of blood as you can, up to 20
ie 5 ruptured targets
rgr
also in aoe opener if i have darknight proc, it would be like from stealth. gar, rup, ct, tab to a tar with 0 bleed gar rup then go to the target i wanna mark and go from there? also does the aoe rup prioritize hitting targets with no rupture at all or will it just hit whatever
That's why you don't really have to tab if you don't want
if its a 5 mob pack you can just double garrote/rupture the prio
Also you should slap down your darkest night sooner
Since you're losing stack consumption by rupturing with it down
anyone have a standalone slice and dice weak aura
For what purpose
because soemtimes i forget to reapply it if i die and run back
you envenom so much you dont need to track it
just envenom
Envenom puts it on auto
oh does it?
Never need to hit it
yeah 2 weeks ago now ish
wow, what talent does that?
baseline
Cut to the chase baseline
amazing
quick question , when im simming top gear and just switching mainhand and offhand weapon but also selecting diferent gems, does it show me the best gem to use ? I feel like having less haste (~6%) gone full into mastery and crit
if you have diff gems selected in the gem section it auto switchtes to whatever is best
afaik
okay so it's really mastery/crit gem for me
yeah i have some crit/haste mast/haste rest is just straight mast/crit
just felt wierd in ST when having less haste , specc feels really cluncky sometimes when no tea is rdy and just 1 target to bleed
!haste
nvm
its like 2 action per minute change
!design
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
there's an option in raidbots results to show all similar combos, if you want to check the difference between gems
i just go for the "best" suggested and call it a day
alright will check it out thx
usually right but its not the end of the world
Are any of the BRD weapons worth farming/buying?
No
no
felt like thats my prob in ST situations when im spamming too fast
alts yes main no
It's a very common issue
Assa m+ St is low apm
Raid is less low apm but still not fast
np
Wat
tried to see if theres a command for it
For what specific
What are the preferred trinkets for m+ and for raids?

skardyns/spyglass
myth spyglass, im a ritual knife hero track enjoyer still
Spyglass isn’t the end all be all but it’s good
yeah its just really good if you get it
im still "stuck" on champions skardyns w hero track ritual knife
does a guide for rogue util in each m+ dungeon exist? like you can vanish this cast here, cloak is high value here etc
no because such a guide would be entirely crowdsourced and therefore take a lot of effort
i think such a guide used to exist in past expansions
People try
and fell out of relevance bc of the effort to maintain
Or used to try
it probably wouldn't be hard at all, people just dgaf
it's 8 dungeons every few months
It's both not that rewarding to put out and takes decent effort
yeah totally, the DK wowhead page has one for m+ bosses which is fairly light touch. im a reroller so just trying to catch up in knowledge ^^
Ag probably the most common one is the first boss of NW, seems like a cloaker but is an evasion
But first second of cloak also works for reasons
damn evasion works on that? literally just came out of a nw12 lol
Yep
evasion and intervene
It's quicker to learn the exceptions or weird parts usually
Cause at least I find cloak is pretty intuitive
is there any way to catch up on nerubian finery?
It’s a physical aoe but spits nature damage 
It’s a wild one
That one
Perplexes me to the second
Roars and whatever make sense whatever
yeah physical damage to your eardrums
the two big boys before ingra maloch could go either way
NW first boss is just a weirdo
guys does anyone know how much the difrence between damage is on outlaw vs assas
in what content
m+
He just like me fr
Not that much especially if you’re better at one than the other
im playing outlaw currently i dont get how a ret pal can do 1.23m avg on same ilvl and im on 807k

sin is better than outlaw but outlaw is completely fine and does great damage still

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
God I love wake of ashes
I prefer wake of ass(assination)es
i don't think i will ever outdamage our ret short of me tricksing mobs onto him to kill him
he does like 2.1m overall every key and i'm behind at like 2-2.05
my copioum is that sin funnel is better damage and i am 40-50% of the group's damage to big targets
!tea
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
did the sin rogue changes effect much of the rotation other than removing echoing reprimand?
or is it still pretty much the same opener / prio otherwise
Is 2x 639 weps with crit embelish better than 639 + 626 ascension embelishment?
sounds like a question for simulationcraft
damn
Question: How do we play around sanguine baldes in single target, do we care about it?
you get energy starved and you cry
you don't play sanguine blades in ST
You have an excellent point, I was also just looking at that LOL
but still if you were to take it, you don't play around it because more envenoms is better than optimising sanguine damage
you do have sanguine blades on single target if it's part of your dungeon build
you just have to hover perfectly below 150 and above 30 energy 🙂
How much energy do we go into kingbane with
some people run it, I personally don't like it but it does pump a lot in AoE
^
I've only erally noticed these weird optimizations thigs where I dont understand rogue at all
Despite being 2900 io LMAO
Im like huh i am missing something arent i
Eh
Not having extra damage from the affix really fucks with me in 12s/13s
It's not that deep
Even if you're not really caring about playing around auto tea and sb etc
The difference is pretty minor as long as envenom is up
Yeah the only reason I noticed it is because often times I'm getting chain pulled into bosses
and I'm like, my damage is far too low for this
I mean pulling trash on boss is pretty good for sanguine

Idk, it might just be the issue of pug tanking, where they chain pull super low mobs that I didn't refresh rupture on, so im running int o bosses on low energy
After that I can't seem to get my energy up at all, and I'm struggling to refresh envenom on the same timer that my pandemics are coming up
Is Treacherous Transmitter a good trinket for us?
honestly if you notice your tank is bad at chain pulling, just pool a little bit before boss
ik the struggle though
any mistakes spottet would be apreciated
Do you want to play the minigame
is it a pain in the ass the mini game?
Moderately. Not that bad.
If you want to minigame, yeah transmitter is good. Prob sims highest st of any for most people
Yeah its giga cringe LOL
I think honestly maybe I just spammed keys on the haste buff last week, and I got too used to the haste regeneration cuz I was pushing 11's
then i lost the haste buff last week, and everything felt really weird
in M+ it regularly puts the orb/transmitter in bad so you just can't get the buff. Jump 3 times is the easiest one
yah i see , im talking about raid tho
Spatter too low
Hello! I'm brand new to assa rogue (to rogue in general) and I'm kinda struggling with the AOE section of the spec (I guess it's a commong thing)
I specifically struggle with reapplying all of the dots on all the targets when they're about to expire
Like, one/two target, ez, but 5/more, it's uh, tedious
so I know we can always vanish -> reapply everything, but outside of vanish, do you guys have any advice about this? :'>
Fan of knives and rupture to 5 targets
Resume envenom
Garrote main target
Dracthyr Assassination good for someone who want to main rogue from 8-80 ?
garrote only on the main target?
Yeah
ooh okay okay
Without Iron wire it’s not that big of a deal to spread it
Nothing special.
But race has very little impact anyways so just be pretty
OH and about shiv, I see that almost all of the guides talk about the double shiv, but I think we don't play with 2 stacks now
so do we need to apply it at the end of kingsbane (like the last 8sec)? Or at the start
not me casting it 1 gcd before kb, but thats also muscle memory for me from pvp
yeah u get 2 shivs for every kb if u use on cd
That's what I thought, noyce
Just don't desync them to the extent that you're missing shiv on kb
A lot of the time you'll just be able to apply your bleeds and spatter til the pack is dead
So it isn't that bad
this game is so fucked, im 600 il with 0 io and they declined me immediately
So not a lot of reapplying everything to 20420492429 mobs?
Nah. Rupture value caps at 5 anyways
Try looking for a big Pampers group
And garrote outside of imp gar isn't really worth spreading
Besides your main target
Impgar is my fathers name
Plus it has a CD then
yeah outside imp u can only have 3 gar up at a time
man i will say nelf is bis for m+ getting a 2nd vanish when the tank just chain pulls and i cant drop combat to get imp gar and carnage going
Unless your groups dps is low, you shouldn’t have to reapply until the 10 range
okayy, so I'll have time to get used to the rota before needing to worry about all that
On wow hjead for keys, it shows bis main hand is splice n dice while oh is parson's. Why would we not just use 2x splice n dice since it has better stats
Bis lists depend on every other piece of gear and their stat balances to be “bis”
Sim yourself
Ye i get that just curious why they were recommending the other dagger if ideal stat wise outside sims splice is better
the answer is always sim
do you macro deathmark? to something
Macro skardyns and potions to it
its on gcd so i dont
The real answer to why the bis list is weird is cause Whispyr is forced to write it even though it's dumb
but yeah trinkets and potions etc
oh ok
true. tbh it should just be like ideal items
does the 1hr ttot still work?
Different strokes for different folks
Assa doesn't have trickster
cause it's not ideal stat-wise
"ideal stat-wise" itself is already a dumb concept
the entire premise is cooked from the start
you get a dagger that has 300 haste instead of 300 mast or whatever
yeah i come from pvp where the idea is stack vers and mastery and call it a day
the difference there is already less than 100 dps
but even if it were more than that
you could just swap ring enchants/gems
oh, lol XD
and GGWP
big true
you have the same stats
the entire problem of bis lists is not only do you need all the items
but you can also mix and match
like actually dozens of items
since assa isnt insta big dmg, you dont need to use tott, right?=
Well I won't get into that discussion too deeply
is there a macro for ambush/mutilate? I assume that works only for a stance condition, but not blindside?
Since that's a point of contention
tott can be precast and allows very slightly more aggressive play aka UPTIME
WE LIKE UPTIME
mut turns to ambush when procced now
like lets say your rings/neck "ideally" are 10k crit, 3k mast, and 5k haste
your neck can be 5k haste and 1k crit, as long as your rings get the crit/mast remaining. The sikran neck does this for example. Or you can get the mists neck, which is 3k crit 3k mast, and then have say the broodtwister ring, which is 5k haste
like
But many people feel tott isn't necessary. Some do, it's run in high keys, etc. it's a choice
just within those 3 items
you can already make like 7-8 "bis" combinations
but now you also have crafted gear to choose stats on
and enchants to choose stats on
and gems to choose stats on
and boots
and belt
and your mainhand dagger
Yeah if you don’t macro it at all, mut gets straight up replaced by ambush on your bars when blindside procs
you have a skardyns? Value of mastery is going down
you have a transmitter? Value of haste is going down
ye but like how will you gain aggro, I can easily use it, I just wondered if I was even needed
not a lot, but enough to sway an item slot or 2
and that's enough to fuck any concept of a "bis" list
Relative to sub or outlaw, no
you literally can't cast mutilate with blindside proc up just fyi
when your tank is bad
But if you're running into issues a where you are being meleed
Yeah swap to it
It's utility in the end y'know, gotta adjust to what you're seeing
whispyr, can you guide me ?
started assa couple of weeks ago... struggeling especially on st, and deciding on when to spread or caustic instead
Feast of the Midnight Masquerade is there a single person food that gives this buff?
BiS stat priority is a 4D graph. W X Y and Z axis ... for example crit becomes really good at X Haste and Y Mastery and Z versatility. and those stats work other ways as well. Nothing is nailed down
if u know, u know
this looks fine, crimson tempest might be a bit low
Yeah ct being below rupture is off
do i pool for envenom up time on st? struggeling ST..
!design
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
single target sucks on assa
I swear we need an extra pin for m+ st energy
it just be like that
This comes up sooooo much lol
i agree
I mean idk what to say about it tbh
tnx tho, but sorry spam if everyone asks xd
one you are done with indiscriminate carnage, do you wanna reapply on differnt targets, or just try to use stealth to reapply it that way?
why not
It's fine just know you aren't alone
so it does insane aoe and then meh single target
but m+ is a brainrot gamemode where no matter how good a spec is, people will never be happy
so
I'm very content with the state of sin right now
unlucky
it's so fun
as long as i know am not really scuffing my self, and its design am ok with it
yah not you specifically
just don't ask about auto tea
you can adjust your m+ talents to be more ST/prio dam focused
and you'll be fine
You'd have to give up so much aoe to have moderately better single target
but it's like over the last year, we've seen the rise and fall of so many m+ trends it's crazy
i know auto tea is not big dif, but i have to say i hate it. xD
im thinking about dropping sbs for dashing, could be cooking too much
I looked into that
we need prio damage!!!!!!!!!
deathstalker gives insane prio damage
okay we need less prio damage things are dying too fast!!!!!!!!!!!
assa aoe goes crazy, CT gets huge buffs
okay but boss damage sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
assa isn't brought for boss, it's brought for control from iron wire and overall dps
I'm untalenting iron wire who needs this shit!!!!!!!!!!!
.....
But the overall damage loss seemed so high since you also have to drop sd or ma or sb

you hate to see it
truly hate to see it
ily
hahahaha
Realest shit I ever read
that new IW trend is so cringe
With the new M+ build taking subterfuge, are we just sending vanish every KB window?
you can if you'd like I guess
most of the time in m+ you're going to want to use vanish for the aoe
on bosses you can vanish for deathmark
but after that, back to aoe
any sin streamers to watch?
zeroo
I only watch BIG FLIPPA
On the topic of vanish, should I be using Vanish in raid st? What benefit does it provide?
zero, casual, whispyr, zac
you wanna see some psychotic logs? My logs from this week are legitimately bipolar
Ma during deathmark / kb
vanish for master assassin uptime during deathmark/kingsbane
rank 6 kyveza, not even a 90 on sikran
you want master assassin to cover as much of the 2nd half of kingsbane as possible

whispyr, i changes order on some stuff in core units of ur WA. but now envenom placement is rly scuffed. anyway tto get this to always align again after swapping pcases with stuff ?
you'd have to align the LE envenom manually
I didn't beat some of my parses from when I Was 623 today

yeah but i have to re align every time i swap to raid talents xd
what
i'm fkin washed
Think it's legit getting harder to parse the same on some bosses cause adds are dying quicker on some bosses
gl
Some of my parses have higher today % than initial
Whispyr has logged off.
I guess you could make two copies
and then make them load
based on talents picked
Are your vods available to watch
anyways, i dont know how to play st annyways. only 2 weeks into assa, and have just went m+ spec everywhere xd
it's just the envenom bars are themselves a group, and the icons I use are a dynamic group, so they shift around
but you can't put a group in a dynamic group
so it's doomed
ye np solved
St is way easier anyways
yes
On twitchypoo? I don't know streamer culture xd
so who has the best st guide? is it in your yt vids whisp?
Tyty
pretty sure i should jsut go full ST with spatter on ovinax now
No spreading ic whatever shit, 1 less finisher on most fights, way more energy regen
Yeah you gotta make sure you're set up for them fo sho
Parses are legit averaging lower think this is Ulgrax
if i go fatebound on st do i just macro cold blood?
Yeah to kb
so super ez mode then xD
It is 0 brain mode
honestly, raiding with no guild, even pugging mythic is so boring anyways so braindead spec is perfect for me
i thought in fatebound CB only works with Envenom?
It does, you do it with kb cause your shivs will be running for your next 2 envenoms
ahh that makes sense
btw do we ever use poisoned knife ?
Why the envenom buff be gone sometime in this week? Has this happened to anyone?
nah
could be envenom munching
if you apply an envenom with a shorter timer than the current envenom it can just disappear, if i understand the behavior
check this #assassination message
ok listen i have a use case
good. never pressed once
i use it when i think my parse is going to be too high
It's useful in pvp
we dont do that here
Nah go off I trust
does anny1 have a working meld. stealth macro ? currently using :
/stopattack
/cast Shadowmeld
/cast !Stealth
seems so unreliable
nah i play belf
Shadowmeld is just unreliable
i use poison knife?
Doesn't work in bosses and you have to be on the other side of the universe to use it on mobs
i tricks a random dps in raid and throw knives at trash lol
Noob question here. I don't really understand the Kingsbane window. Anyone willing to message me on the side and explain it?
okay but why
I mean I can but it's pretty much just slamming envenoms and have shiv running
And spatter if youre aoe
Is the goal to use as many envenoms as possible or just maintain the buff the entire time?
Ty this looks kind of bad
Maintain the buff is most important but since shiv will help your envenoms try to slam more
well yea it is bad to lose your envenom buff
the goal is more poisons
And ofc if you have ttk try to keep both buffs running
i tricks a random dps in raid and throw knives at trash lol
the only way to get poisons is the envenom buff
bruh
So you just don't wanna go energy starved and unable to slam Env and maintain buff
Yeah maintaining the buff is priority #1
If you have more energy to envenom more do it, you will in raid build, prob won't in m+ st
the longer the fight goes in M+, the worse it gets lmao
Feel free to be conservative and just maintain in that case lol. Don't energy overcap ofc but I don't need to say that
And I doubt it would happen
Oh my bad yeah I'm talking from a M+ perspective. Struggling on some of these single target bosses
when we get darkest night d o we use max cp on next envenom?
Yes
yeah you have to
then we FOK after pretty much right?
It's normal to be energy starved. Focus on keeping envenom up
guaruntee crit 60% more dam 40 energy and applies mark
You pretty much fok immediately after since that procs it yeah
Only reason you wouldn't is if there's an imminent add spawn
ok like queen's circles for example
Yeah you're cool to save it. I think it's like 15 secs?
and assuming envenom wont fall off too then
true but if im capped just by happen stance.....?
BiS gear vs BiS gear which spec is better in a single target fight, sin or sub?
Wdym by by capped
sin by like 0.9% I guess
on CB
very strange question though honestly
Just a curiosity question
what build are you guys running for subterfuge
im liking it tbh
saw one here but had MA and no sanguine
so idk if its better to take sanguine
There's like 7 combinations
-sd -sb +ma +ttk, -sd +ma, - doomblade - sbs + ma + ttk
Pins have some of the build logic
Sub (DS) also has a bug
Which makes it high
But also who cares just play whatever u find fun
true
as long as its not outlaw
you're gonna take that back rq
Nope
delete this now
Nah
ill play sub when danse macabre gets binned
are you above 30 yo hollow?
Ya but I am also a fucking gamer
I don’t think you understand
This is my life with sub too
I have played outlaw in the past man
Danse macabre is yucky
LMAO
stop living in the past, you're old now

😡 why is hekili randomly blank sometimes and I just sit there
why are you using hekili is the real question
might as well just bot
is assa in general more of an easier dps to play or harder in m+?
Easier
it's relatively easier imo
Is this comparing to sub and outlaw or other dps broadly
bro it's much harder than ret
but a lot of it depends on what you find hard - its a lot of watching timers for bleeds and what not - some people find that harder to track than hitting extra buttons
Just asking since I'm not familiar with other classes as much
outlaw is the hardest for sure
This is the only problem that’s taking more time for me to understand, getting used to tracking bleeds is my hurdle atm. I find myself missing much for kicks because I’m just trying to maintain uptime. Overall I’m loving though coming from DH.
oh I just notice how many mistakes I make and I think to be really good you also kinda need to know the dungeon in m+ to plan a bit. I mean I think of being good not average when I asked that 😄
and I never really played much else
I found raiding/ST way easiert than m+ - but I'm also very new to m+ so

w hats the name of the embellishment ?
Is it not just blessed weapon grip lmao
how much ST dps is normal in a M+ bossfight for assa? (without Aug) in +13/14/15 keys
so thats normal?
Like 900
900-1m i think
Depends on buffs and fight length too obviously
Tldr yes assa St in m+ is bad
i always get flamed by pugs in m+ in bossfights
while overall i do 1.8-2
they never look at my overall and always insult me at boss
like wtf..
Pugs are fucking stupid more news at 4
Does anyone know what kind of logic indiscriminate carnage has, if any? Does it try to apply to mobs that don't already have rupture or garrote on them first, does it do it by proximity, by total health remaining or is it just full on random?
In m+ st how much energy should we pool before sending KB without DM
i just simmed myself in ST and it says 820k so what else to do ?
It will apply to targets without a bleed
Timers are so long who cares as long as you aren’t dying
So there's no priority beyond doesn't have a bleed? Random outside of that?
What's the best embelishments in general?
Might be proximity to mt after that but I'd need someone else to confirm
Don't think I've seen someone worth about that
we were fighting Generall Umbriss and we wiped because tank just got 1shot and all started flaming me "wTf RoGuE?! 800k DpS dOgShiT clAss"
Worry*
But anecdotally it seems my garrote silences are close, so I'd guess proximity.
Lol
Yeah would make sense, I guess my primary question was regarding whether it tries to apply on non-bled targets
Regardless, target switching would therefore be optimal because that would be at least one extra free rupture and garrote
Yeah that's more important. So 2 ruptures on one target gets you the full scent stacks
It is more optimal to do that, just don't lose your mark
Yep noted, ty
So if you are or it's just annoying it's perfectly fine to just sit on 1 big boy
are there any macros for rogue for efficient mob interrupts?
any reason to run forced induction on bloodbound? @balmy condor
i think this week is just cursed for me
does good damage
better than 2 lethality?
idk probably
forced induction is like 0.2% better for basically everyone I looked at
so I just changed all the raid builds to use that instead

just sim yourself, it can also depend on your own stats and loadout
forced induction believers

https://www.wowhead.com/news/buffs-to-many-racial-abilities-in-patch-11-0-7-349535?utm_source=discord-webhook
for all the pings whispyr is going to get about race sims
jumping off a bridge!
PROFESSION RESPEC OPTION (bruh it's like 3 years too late)
NO UNDEAD CHANGES????????????
why are we buffing fucking racials in 2024
Insane
Blizzard felt bad about people rolling mechagnomes
Nelf 
the funniest thing
is that they're buffing the racials
but the issue isn't that they're weak
the issue is that they don't cheese shit
all races matter
look man i dont gaf about any of the damage buffs i just got happy seeing usability buff to velf and ignored the rest
i get much joy from pressing velf racial
and now there will be more
like wowee now nightborne is an 80% slow and not 50%
but does it remove a mechanic from ansurek like gnome does? Does it remove mechanics from m+ like nelf? Does it remove an entire fucking debuff like dwarf?
no
it doesn't
my guild is raging about ovinax weakauras
Yeah
Blood elf racial is still worth millions of gold so i can’t swap
missed 2 and a half raid nights of the last 4
to fucking idiots jumpscaring absence
instead of actually calling out early

i want blood
how hard is it 2 press left mouse twice on the wowaudit bot bro
Anyways
Yea ovinax is just dogshit idk i cant blame them rly
!mark
🥚 we love ovinax
rhythm of the fight isnt terrible its just
a visual nightmare and weakaura bosses are shit in general
my favorite part of ovinax is purple swirlies on purple floor under a fat boss and 10 million adds 
I'm just not thinking about the racial changes just thinking about the reso vs multi change
Guys, has the bug been fixed where you don't get deathstalker combat benefits from DM unless DN is consumed?
just dodge them man
what?
what bug
i.e. do we still open with garrote when DN is active, rather than ambush
we open with garrote when dn is active but thats not a bug
thats just how it works
and ambush is a bad button
so we press garrote instead to not press a bad button
I thought multicraft came in smaller amounts and who even cared that it was stronger per point
The stat itself always came in the same amounts numbers wise
the ambush dn bug is that you dont cycle the mark when u consume dn
But yes, if multicraft worked on a craft, almost always it was better by miles than reso
Value is lower on the blacksmith tree and there’s no enchant

lol where is this info at?
ptr wowhead?
or live?
ptr wowhead
aight ty
whats the strat in necrotic wake with these spears now
yea i just hate it
do the fight
Excuse me i need a macro for do shadowstep on the alliance battle standar plz
ye true
I feel I'm falling to degen level now.......but why don't we ambush in m+ when DN is up? The first envenom is quite a few globals into the standard AoE opener so would it not be higher value to get the mark and associated deathstalker buffs sooner?
Idn, multi vs reso is already interesting to me because there's almost always a clear answer on any given craft, but that won't change. It's already the case, if multi doesn't work on a craft, you want reso, and I made 2 tools, one for each stat and swap between them as I craft different things. That's already interesting to me, it doesn't need this shake up to make it more interesting. It's still going to all equilibrate out, because it's a market, so it's not like it's really a "buff" to crafts profit wise. It will just shift some crafts up and some crafts down a bit. BS which is weighted towards very expensive mats will gain benefit, Gem production/crushing will benefit, multi heavy like alchemy will drop a tad. I don't see it as a major shakeup or change, I just don't necessarily agree with their comment.
(I know this has been simcrafted, my minds just blown by another rogue I'm talking too who pumps harder than me xD )
Like it's fine, I'm ambivalent to it
my personal mountain to die on is not wasting raid time on complaining
quicker bleeds is quicker ramp, which I get....but my mind is being confused xD
Yeah i think it’s fine as is, i have multiple tools for the same profession too and i think it’s fine like that. Plenty of items can’t be multicrafted so it seems balanced enough with resourcefulness being universal. True that the market will always adjust so the change is inconsequential
I actually have a multicraft enchanter alt maxed and that guy doesn’t make SHIT
I do too
literally only for making mirror powder
which I guess I'll maybe use less now with the multi nerf lol
and DEing but like, neither of those are consequential, it's just minor side benefit
and DEing is barely a benefit it feels like
anyone know the dps diff between mana oil and whetstones?
DEing would be a lot better if i used AHK but i aint about that life
Sometimes I find I lose DN buff in m+ ST, is this a bug or have i fucked up somewhere?
bug
hey for m+ do i use skardyns grace on CD or do i save it for deathmark
i'm taking this from my ass, but imo getting garrotes and ruptures up asap is more damage overall then doing an envenom to get the mark up
yeah you lose like 1 ctw proc by delaying the envenom and some mark dmg but that's not huge when compared to 6+ bleeds rolling
They are both 2m, use them together
Bind them together and use on cool down
that the new ring has no special effects that require tracking
No janky ass bullshit
what ring?
lowkey kinda hate that they're just copy pasting the 10.0.5 ring
i hate these types of items
!tea
Shiv/Tea Macro
With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
wait will they remove elusiveness? didnt understand that
no?
im not understanding that then
datamining nonsense
kk

yea otherwise assa would be ded
Lowkey?
highkey
is anyone able to take a quick look at my rash log and tell me why its so shit?
did you spec splatter

just updated whispers and it did something fucky
i did
thats all I can do
if the ring comes out before my guild kills queen on mythic, i will be greatly unpleased...
cba farming for a ring that will do 20% of my damage
👍
lol
did your raid place adds at the edge of the platform near boss?
yeah
they were dying os fast i wasnt able to get too much spatters off
How many wars?
actually none lol
is the whispyr WA fucked up for anyone else

it was about 125k of my dps
lemme look at my log
What's fucked up mine is fine
what about running sub iron wire with sb but no ma?
so... potential gems for the new legendary ring ...
and ttk too
im comparing it to some of the top logs and the big diff i see is that my envenoms arent hitting for as much
Like 80% of the point of subt is MA
can you send the log
I guess it is
had two giant blocks over it, but i just re-installed it isntead of updating it and it's good now
Pretty much yeah
The new gem combination for us for the legendary ring is ... Stormbringers, Fathomdwellers, and windsingers? or has this not been simmed yet?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
forget simmed yet, they're not even testable dude
for damage purposes yea
what are you talking about
So are people unbinding tea altogether and just using the shiv macro for it? Any other use just let it proc by its self??
lol
WHERE SIMS
i dont like playing MA but like the sub for util
didnt intend it to be in all caps, but the capslock makes it better
well ... i mean it at least LOOKs like those 3. The damage effects might be interesting though
you can manually press it after kingsbane when running only one shiv charge, but otherwise yes
aka, the flat dmg effects
you get the 3 gems that end up being too strong cause the number is too high
they do 1-2 rounds of nerfs
and we equip a new set
and gg
Let me do a ritual to have a dream tonight to get the optimal ring setup
idk what you're expecting here
Then I'll let you know
i would literally uninstall the game
we datamined 12 gems out of who knows how many please what's bis
i dunno ... hope and the possibility of fun. deep down i knew it was a longshot

allright whisp, to distract you from the ring headache
how high are the chances to play fatebound on 4 heroic bosses and 3 mythic ones
and you get the capstone a total of 2 times
I ain't doing math man
50/50
:kek
ill dm you what ive found
does bosses in M+ feel like were just waiting for energy like 80% of the time? or am i just misplaying it
thanks man
!design
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
so basically just pooling and keeping envenom up?
would have to know how many finishers, vanishes and deathmarks you cast total, fuck doing all that math kekw
yes
ty
is there a macro i can use that also pops tempered pots by chance without issues
idk if im reading this right but are they removing the 20% dmg reduction from feint?
i had the same question
ah kk no worries ty tho
was reading it on wowhead
stop reading fucking datamining
seems very unecassary
for class changes
lol
Pin this one
idk whats datamine it just pops up in news on my discord lol
Or this one
in game
if it's not in bold blue letters, no one cares
Anyone got a KB weakaura?
