Just put the same buttons on both bars
I mean if its that obvious it should also be obvious what you use in M+, check the guides
Same abilities
i dont wanna follow blindly guides i like to talk and discuss about builds in the community π
be out of stealth, place your buttons
enter stealth, place your buttons
If Envenom is in E normally, put it on E while in stealth too
i play how the guide tells me
well you asked for instructions on when to change your talents
I play what the guides tell me to play
Guide is made by the guys IN this community, we aint refering to it just for funsies XD
Ill start and end with Uninstall the stupid addon at once.Hekili is bad,i dont wanna be rude im sorry π
guide is made by Whispyr afaik maybe there are people who play different builds
π
whispyr loves when you tag him too
thats strange, cause ive seen a few people here say that assassination pools energy
I don't think we do
i refer to pin
there's no definitive you should play x talents at y key level
okay
play ffxiv at key level 19
Point is, if you didn't have sudden demise to begin with you were playing the cleave build, so like, again, guides would answer the question XD

How come the wowhead guides say to take Forced Induction but all the top logs are dropping it to take Lethality?
I assume that it's so close you could go with either
probably because it sims better for them in some capacity
Lethality was slightly better for most
Then it got fixed
Now itβs slightly worse for most
So these are just older logs?
Or they just donβt bother changing
Or they just donβt care
Or they just donβt know
Or itβs still slightly better
point is its not the end of the world wether you use either or
Well then im doing something wrong already Lol
Vanish during kb dm
But only if imp gar right
And on ovi i dont have ma so no need to vanish
Right?

Also Whisp how is your princess prog
Did you managed to kill it?
they did kill princess
correct you hold vanish for canceling roots
Wait what
yeah
π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«
Thanks alot wtf
But
Does it still cc people around me?
Or it cancels the cast on me
Ah
do not vanish in the middle of your raid
Yea ok
So now i probably know how the cc broke so fast 1 or 2 times yesterday
Thanks for info
and its unlikely ur gunna be running improved garrote/MA on that fight
Yea
so you wont need vanish for anything else
I use Whisp ovi build

Got the kill Bois! 4/8M
Should I be farming empowering crystal instead of spyglass >_>
im pretty good at getting 0 parses, guild keeps me around for debuff and i provide both cauldrons
ill parse on the re kill next week XD
Always said scoreboards donβt have eyes, but in WoW they doβ¦
crystal spyglass sacbrood and knife are all super close in damage, you can just use whichever you get first
0 parse would imply you didnt touch the boss at all no?
I hate dawnbreaker so I'm just gonna keep grinding glass out then :p
0 parse just means you did less damage than 99+% of players who killed the boss
what are the vibes with no bonerspikes
are you guys liking that build
they like it in mdi
its pretty bad for damage but is convenient
so they'd never play it in a competitive setting
This any good for a 614 assass rogue on a +9 Mists or am I doing it wrong?
looks pretty good
In tirna?
Did you win? Then GG. Honestly you are not closer to the tank than other DPS, but like its hard to tell we don't know how your key went, how the pulls were, etc.
looks ok otherwise
he asked if he did it wrong, he did
614 is very low so you'll be blasting wtih better gear
he should show us logs/at least details breakdown
i dont want to tell him he is playing well when he could be playing like shit
pumper
Has anyone ninja pulled with rupture like this:
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kcDAFKbZv48C2nY3#fight=last&pull=15&type=summary&view=events&hostility=1&source=32
1.20?, too low, MDI does 1.22
a guildie sent me this log, can share a video as well if anyone wants more info
This is the details breakdown. Can post logs too if you want a deeper view:
Pulls were normal. Nothing out of the ordinary or mega pulls or anything. Just a stock-standard mists
you should play sudden demise in these key levels
Garrote kinda high
weirdly enough
I am playing the stock hybrid build from WH. Should I adapt for SD?
that is kinda crazy lol
boss just flew away and the lavabender took corrupt the blood damage?
the stock build includes swapping around a bunch of shit
mr whispyr had to choose something
he couldnt put 5 builds
your last rupture was 13 seconds before the lavabender was affected
Ok I will have a look at the options. But you reckon SD is a good choice node for +9 and up?
sudden demise good
that is actually bugged as fuck, the lavabender took singular focus damage too, it seems like it was considered to have deathstalkers mark despite never having the debuff on him
Guys, newbie rogue here. Am I allowed to ask a really dumb question? π
You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:
Lethals:
- Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
Non-Lethals: - Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB
Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used
did i guess?
Wait. I already have it talented.......
No π atleast not really. My target (in M+) is sometimes immume to Envenom.. And I cannot grasp why.
I have poison equiped ofc
But I use hekili (to learn the rotation, dont shoot me)
but I cannot cast envenom (doesnt matter how many combo points I have)
its in general, not a specific dungeon
Do you have daggers equipped 
yep haha
2 of them?
Does it happen on a dummy
out of range? 
Go try and make a clip or something

also, im not sure how good hekili is in aoe scenarios, but if i had to guess its really bad
its really impossible to tell you what is happening without a log or video
should? be ok for pure ST
but for anything more than 1 target
its probably griefing
I initially thought I need to apply other abilities before using envenom, but it doesnt make sense
I'll see what I can do
and hekili might be bad in AoE indeed
on silken court is it worth keeping Rupt on both bosses rather than just the main target u have
and is FoK the builder of choice bc 2 target with deathstalker?
or still mut/ambush
are you getting parried
no
@subtle tundra Willing to have a look at this and give me some pointers? I think I am fucking up badly somewhere
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Y2KjTkgNPX3GfcJ6#fight=last
like on first pull you got mark on random shitter mob, you should get mark on tree
also you did 3cp CT
you used cds on the random shitter mob
pls pls anyone we're about to pull knsjgjnks
this huge gap? did you get the stun? you should've cloaked it
Yes
yes you do want rupture on both
Itβs worth
more rupture more energy more dmg
are you getting parried? or are you out of energy? even if your target is immune to envenom, you should still be able to cast it
There was a slight snag on the first pull. We pulled the jumpers only first and everyone was sitting on cds so I had to do something to get them down. We then chained into tree which I was not prepared for
Probably should have
i would just sit in stealth
Maybe check further on and use a normal pull xD
The first one was scuffed
2nd onwards is chillin
Are you running master assassin and donβt have envenom on your stealth bar?
you mean subterfuge
Yea sorry π
But my dumbass did it at first after swapping to using subterfuge, had something else with the same hotkey on stealth bar π₯²
this cd sequence is messed up on the 2 guys before first boss
i dont fok on 2T
i hate it
really stupid suggestion, but do you have deadly poison or amplifying poisons up?
also this whole cd sequence you didnt have mark up
you used envenom, got darkest night and then you went with a CT
took you 20 seconds to get mark again
Any suggestions on %uptime for dawnthread when simming for m+ to see damage for embellishment difference?
ma not giving crit or just visual bug?
Hey guys, today something strange happened in GB... Somehow I got in combat with one of the lavabenders before 3rd boss.
Here is the log:
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kcDAFKbZv48C2nY3#fight=last&type=damage-done&source=5&view=events&start=1441002&end=1490750
Could someone please help me understand what interaction caused this corrupt the blood debuff to go on a target without rupture?
What is the mean DPS for 600 ILVL
This is the screenshot of the moment, when I get in combat with the mob. And the unitframe also shows it:
That's very weird
Never heard of that before
But looking at the log, yeah it just randomly applies CtB on it
isn't this only from ruputred targets though?
It sure is. Did you use some mouseover macro or something to reapply the Rupture?
you triple ruptured the start of the pull for no reason @brittle viper , your vanish usages seem sus , youre missing plenty of gcds in the kb,
Maybe that messed it up and it applies Rupture on your main target but CtB on the add
Guys, help a noob out, will ya?
I have no idea what to do when tank DOESNT let me restealth at all. I just had a SV run that i had 3 or 4 restealths (not counting vanishes) for the whole dungeon. The tank literally chain pulled everything into everything into bosses, whenever it was possible to do so. What am I supposed to do there? Apply garrote and rupture on a bunch of targets manually? Seems that is not the ideal thing. Ignore bleeds apply only garrote and rupture in one target and use Caustic Spatter to do damage?
Or if you normally use mouseover macros and had your cursor on the lavabender
No, you can see I stay still in the corner and just wait for boss to land :lmao
but mostly your foundations are ok, you need reps and to obeserve your gameplay, you make a lot of small mistakes that individually dont mean much but they add a lot
it doesn't even put rupture on the lavabender, it only does CtB and singular focus, so something about the boss despawning with your mark confused the game about what was marked and ruptured
Yeah because your Rupture ticks on the boss and then 0.001s later the CTB does damage - as it should
But not on the boss itself
But weird one, never seen that before
Probs just that particular mob messing stuff up
yeah, happened to me for the first time as well... not that I ever was in a run, where these were skipped...
so I should know in future to not put rupture on it just before it dies...
i'm guessing drahga ran away and despawned while marked
yeah, she was marked as I attacked from stealth
and din't manage to get the darkest night
i'd guess it's a mark issue more than a rupture issue, so you could try holding dn there
!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
Hey Mike, what do you mean by holding dn
Technically you rupture everything manually, yes

Can ignore garrote save for ur caustic target and u blast as hard as you can
Honestly speaking, double vanish isnt reccomended but its just too useful to play with pugs + iron wire


Humm. yeah, Ive been thinking about that. Rupturing too many targets just feel way too many GCD's spent on it, instead of AOEing.
In high key levels it won't matter too much
In low key levels, it might feel bad, in which case 5 mobs for scent of blood and start goin
but double vanish is recommended...
Yeah, on this rogue I'm only doing 8s right now.
Yeah things will probably die too fast, so maybe double vanish
Swear it wasnt recommended until recently
this is true
getting WAT before the patch was 4 points for literally no damage
now 2/2 subterfuge does damage via master assassin and improved garrote
what do you guys do about the action bar for subterfuge duration, do you have mut and envenom on it?
The dps loss wasn't worth dying to lack of interrupts in pugs sometimes
and now we have people playing double vanish and not iron wire in random pugs
cause mr strimmer does it
people are fucking dumbasses
Yeah that part makes no sense to me, only if you're in coordinated group can u pull that shit
first 12 done!
grats!!
does it matter if I want crit or haste? like I can get alot of crit but low ammounts of mastery, if I catralyse it, I well get the opposite stats. does it matter at all?
King
How does Imp Garrote interact with Subterfurge? You'll benefit from Imp Garrote for 12 seconds after leaving stealth?
Yes
yeah, insane huh
Got it
honestly even in aoe too sometimes if things are alive long enough
Alright, thank you all for the info. I'll take a look into what I can change to get WAT when pugging.
CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMzMzMzwMAAAAAAAzixsNDAAAAAAttNzMYmxYmZWmlxYwMzYGMzMbbLjZA2MLDMglglhJwwyA
Just take this string and use whats recommended
i usually spam out the garrote before end of 12 sec
because i want it to go on as many targets as possible before indescriminate carnage goes away
Thank you for the tips. I am following my rotation helper mostly. So didnt know what I was doing was wrong. Thanks for the insight. I will have to watch some in-depth guide to understand this better or do some reading. Do you have any suggested resources for this?
it also extends carnage too so the garrotes will cleave out
yeah, so with pandemic timer, im spamming out at about 9-10 second mark
That would be pretty useful on huge pulls like SV and NW, on higher keys, wouldnt it? I know that the benefit from energy caps at 5-6 targets, and you're only getting the dps from having more bleeds out, but seems pretty great on 9+ targets.
Are there builds that only reach Subterfurge without getting WAT?
yea you just get 1/2 leth
yeah, you're right, at lower keys under 8 things die too fast. I'm at 13 keys now and its very helpful to have this for massive pulls like SV, NW
which isn't a huge damage increase
not many other places to put the point that does damage
i like WT, becuase i can stack it with Master Assassin
it's bugged
reported but not fixed idk
it's known
pugging 13's is sadge
feelsl ike every run dies in the first minute
yeah, but i don't really commit to a full schedule key push, so i take what i can get. im at 5/8 on 13s now, trying to finish out
Do you guys try to chase sikran after he dashes around or do u just like shadowstep to him after he's done his 4th dash?
Yeah its a pain, gets way easier to pug after you're 3-4/8, but hard to get in to begin with before that
i usually try to dump alot of my energy before he charges out and play it a little safe and let my energy pool back. Im probably just missing a few auto attacks. I'm just thinking dead dps = no dps.
rotation helper..
ST
just too greedy to run, while dude is dashing
teleporting after the 4th dash seems pretty good
wont rly matter insanely hard if you get hit, but if 2 does its kinda ggs
yeah, play it safe.

my envenom damage was so much higher than the other rogues
not sure why
i had 4 more casts but it did 30million more
u just a goat
kinda doesnt make much sense
i guess it doesnt count a tea cast if it auto procs
there is no way i only used 3 tea's
welcome to the wild world of crit variance ππ»
the cast difference is crazy though
93 mutilates to 77
26 to 20 ambush
i checked
i had only 2% more crit on envenom
larger crits tho
due to amp poison, trinket procs, etc
entirely possible
you high rolled big time
Is there a place for log review? Or do we just post it in here? Trying to figure out where I can improve.
well how do you know he played perfectly, maybe he forgot to 7cp envenom a bunch of times or something
and shit like that
Would anyone be able to judge a few of my
Logs and tell me where and when. I am messing up? I want to get better and been grinding out m+ going to log a few runs right now and just curious if anyone is willing to help me out. New to assa rogue
626 crystal simming less than 619 shadow knife in Dslice. am i missing something? or is knife that good? thank you!
knife is that good
tyty
I donβt think many people here do dungeon log reviews
I see a lot of rogues using empowering crystal of anub in mythic plus on archon, but itβs not simming high for me. Is there something Iβm missing? Iβm just surprised at the amount of people using it.
Most people just use what they have available
what do we think to this? Isn't this our bis ring?
Our bis ring is Poisoned Pact
The other one is whatever your character prefers at the time
Can be literally any ring in existence
Depending on your char
it's not simming highly for atm
this one
do I just take the chest then? EVen though chest is supposed to be our off tier piece?
Hi fellas, looking for some log review as a new assa player. wondering what might be creating the discrepancy on envenom dps on mythic rashanan. that seems to be the main issue, but anything else y'all see on what i can improve upon? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/compare/RAc2ZMGa7bxYyDvL/XWjpVMQBL47GcwDC#fight=6,42&source=2,Ethassa&type=damage-done
I have only 1 Ring
roving is pretty good
sim the vault but ring might be the best option
10 finger but only 1 ring unlucky
Thinking I might have to take the tier chest, even though chest is off piece
the ring just isn't simming well
whats ur current chest
and whats the current ring situation
Wait if you put ring on every finger you can equip 10 Ringa
mmmm
crit, haste on the chest
might be chest then
i like the idea of rings cuz i feel like 639 rings are ass to come by
ive seen 1 all xpac
I have the bloodbound horror ring too on myth track
actually probably take the chest
if u get poisoned pact itll replace the current roving youre using
Oh i have mythic track legs that I can catalyst too
yeah fuck it take the chest

!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
nah
if u dont get like specifically the chest from grim batol at 639 itll hardly matter
awesome
it's only because the stats are shite
but the legs I have are crit mastery ones from ulgrax, so maybe I don't catalyst them
those are good but if u catalyze them, itll favor the mastery more
true - Those are also good wrists I just noticed
crit mast
so in what situations are we running SD and not, i see all of the top rogues vary i would imagine key to key
the ulgrax ones?
yeah
yeah they're nice
thats always nice
I also dont get how the chest dropped for me because I haven't killed ovi
Learning the class and rotations this way. Seeing how it changes based on situation helps me understand the spells better. Surely not THAT big of an issue?
well itd be better to learn by ingraining into your own muscle memory
Yeah probably. Do you perhaps have some content recommendations to get up to speed on this?
personally i just look at a high parsing warcraft log and see their cast sequence
then go practice it on a dummy for however long
this has probably been asked and answered lots but I couldnt find it in the search. Does deathmark duplicate existing dots or do I need to reapply them during deathmark?
you dont have to refresh unless its pandemic window during DM
ideally you just refreshed bleeds before DM to fit in more envenoms
so it does work on existing dots gotcha. Thanks!
yeah, aside from the vanish garrote in the middle
what time do you need to ++ dawn?

corrupt the blood*
is without a trace m+ build just by far the best m+ build?
ANLAAAAAAAAAAKI
Itβs huge QoL and good rn because of MA and 12sec stealth benefits
ok, im just doing 11s rn so packs die pretty quick. can I just go 1 vanish and then 1 in lethality?
my wa is messed up so I cant see my charges
I'd argue some folks state that its minimal additional vanishes per boss
per dungeon*
you would argue some folks say it? do you then agree or? π
Should take WaT for 10s and up
damn, ok.
uhm do we know if the 11.0.7 ring will go to 639 and be a guarenteed equip at all times
to extend my subterfuge when I break regular stealth?
realised ive had to go double vanish now
Itβs chain pull protection and there are big pulls at that key level
I just use meld for that
to get subterfuge
@lavish geyser yes i dont play WoT, but equally not doing big keys so
Meld does not give sub
it does
it does if you stealth after
no sry
meld + stealth XD
guh
one is not on gcd,
And it doesnβt always work mid combat
so you can macro em
I feel like an abusive stepdad, I'm home, I'm drunk, I'm ready to ruin someones key
okok, im not fighting it tbh. Im just not that good with the uses, since I just leared assa a couple of days ago
Some dungeons Iβm using the extra vanish charge for iron wire
so I would save 1 for deathmark and then use on when there are more then 6 targets?
You would vanish to reapply for uptime. Not for targets
huh, ok
Should be starting pulls with garr,garr, rup,rup
all good,
depends, I think
Depends how many cps you have
on the cps
oh yeah ofcourse
somtimes I throw rupture first
First ruptures will suck if you only get 2 cps
well I mean obviously ambush garr rup garr rup sorry but yeah of course it depends
Yeah rupturing after 1 gar is bad
Vanish for IC/IW when you feel like the time is right
Amarth, sear mind boys in throngus room, chain pulls
imma need glossary translation, not used to em yet
Unless you are ambush,garr,rup,rup,garr
yeah that's what I was thinkin bout
packs just dont last that long. even in like 11s they die hella fast, i feel like
do higher keys 5head
Depends on group comp and the nature of the pulls
Sounds like bad tank pulls or you are just playing with like 3k players every dungeon
cant for now π
It takes me like 2 hrs to pug my own key cuz my ilvl is low
Even good groups with high damage can be helped by a vanish
how big of a troll am i for running this in m+? xd
yea me neither I cba pugging higher keys and my friends got tired of the season
Even avanoxx if you need emergency aoe
not at all
Pretty bad setup on the rogue tree
Lethality is troll now. Take the last point in the supercharger tree
hmm i see
you can go this build? is it just as good as wat?
assa tree i did due to this pin from whisp xd
in reality it's a choice between some more AoE or more st
That build is fine. Twist the knife has better ST value then SD for higher keys
Yup doesnβt look too bad, i take twist the knife and sanguine blades over sudden demise and master asssassin but i think the output will be the same
sd?
sanguine badge
oh ok I see
I do tbh
personally i do dislike sang blades quite a bit
!up
sang blades is troll in keys
but you swap out sudden demise for sanguine blades?
Yeah it doesnβt have very good reviews but itβs not a bad talent
no, sudden demise for ttk
sudden and sang for ttk and MA
don't bother with sanguine blades
thats what i did
Sanguine blades is good
alright so basically im gucci but just remove lethality?
ok sry, rn I am very new to assa so I just dont know the talent names, does assa channel have glossary?
I wanna believe @balmy prism but heβs got such an untrustworthy face
There is like 4 different builds that have very similar dps but different damage profiles
dont trust me I've had far too much wine tonight
I am not huge on MA (master assassin) without subterfuge
buuuuuut
I personally like doing Big dmg on packs
sanguine blades feel badge
big dam, is just fun
If you are running supercharger and forced induction, sanguine will have more value than MA
assa is in a fun state, you can play basically 5 builds and time anything up to like world first key swithout being a carry
Yeah without subterfuge i imagine you are losing a lot of the value of master assassin

okok I see. Should I just copy casuals build? since he runs supercharger?
For what
thanks after reading the talent it really makes alot fo sense
If casuals is running IW ( I think it is now) then yes
Iron wire
need an extra keybind for muti for spat, I normally just put both ambush/mut on 1
Ambush also procs spatter
Enjoy blizzard tooltips
thanks, pointing out that MA was rly good to know!
No worries. It got changed late in the rework and I donβt think they included it in the tooltip
Yeah but apparently whispyr said you arenβt supposed to be ambushing during subterfuge
are we?
I mean
whispyr probaganda?
In this just swap between Sudden Demise for more aoe, and Twist the knife for boss damage depending on dungeon
It is worse but I mean youβre not gonna ruin your life by doing it
Like Iβd probably take TTK in City of Threads
fk it.. made the changes, cheers lads 
gotcha, good looks brotha
isn't TTK basically always better than SD? let's say in realistic keys where you're not optimizing for world firsts
SD has much higher value in sub 7-8
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yesterday i even realised i've been rekilling myth raid and progging ovinax with 2x lethality and 1 supercharger 
Your sim Andy, got you your rotation, your gear, and the rest of your talents
excuse you I make everything up as I go

Quick question i do not play dps i mainly tank and heal so simming dps is not in my wheel house. So for my friend he is a assa rogue and he sims currently on 1min st patchwork for 555k and when he in in dornagol on a target dummy he only does 420k. is he pressing buttons wrong or if you are 80th percentile of said sim is that fine because sims are made up or what?
depends how he set up his sim
patchwerk is not a target dummy
there's a target dummy option for that
oh daddy is awake I take back my previous statements
gotcha did not know that because we were trying to figure out what was happening!
it's 3 in the afternoon I've been lurking for about 6 hours now
I just cba responding to dumb shit
do we go 10% ektra poison dmg? or 5% ektra crit?
when is that a choice
just re sim and it's 553k lol?
weapon poison*
link it
just weapon poisons I meant π
Rust on your dagger, -2k
probably with 10% is reasonable but 1 min is way too volatile
like you crit 1 kingsbane tick and your dps gonna swing like 15k
so 2 min 2:30? and your rotation should be closeish to the "sample ability log"
deadly precision always (5% crit on builders) .. weapon poison damage is currently dogwater
wouldn't go under 3 tbh, and the sample is legit just a sample, I would ignore it
as for mythic plus the best way to figure out if you are doing decent dmg is to rewatch yourself to see what's happening with your rotation?
Does anyone have a macro for Tricks that allows you to mouseover a party frame and click to activate? Apologies if this is somewhere else, but I haven't found one that works yet
#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/cast [@mouseover,help,nodead][] Tricks of the Trade
this perhaps ?
Thanks! I'll try this out
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
I guess yeah
m+ is super variable
kinda hard to be like "this is wrong"
Thank you!
especially when there's like a billion builds atm
i figured because there are countless moving variables going on throughout the key and you can't compare yourself to a 638 rogue etc etc so hard to get a number to see if you are doing well. Thank you!! β€οΈ
This. You can compare general gameplay decisions. But you canβt compare 1 to 1 unless yall are on the exact same route and timings
is it a smart or dumb move to delay KB in DM by roughly 1 gcd when playing with 1 shiv (m+)? so the last tick of KB benefits from lingering darkness (+30% nature dmg after DM) as it does naturally in raids/when playing with 2 shivs
okay liar
there's way more than a billion you rat
Is swapping to master with this build fine?
Dropping Sanguine for it I'd assume
Idk if thats a straight up loss or not tho
I just feel like if im playing double sub I should utilize the crit from master
You can get a decent estimate on overall dps based on ilvl
And key level
If you do Iβd drop lethality for WaT too
it makes sense and it's a very viable build yes 
hey all...what are we looking at as far as trinkets go? Other than Grace, OME is out-simming everything else for me...anyone else seeing that?
Double vanish huh, that sounds kinda scary O.O
who the hell is ome
Itβs currently recommended
oh ovinax egg
Really? Do you just double vanish as a dps cd for improved garrote
uh itβs okay but itβs kinda cancer
Chain pulls, long pulls to get ruptur and iron wire
well you can hold the 2nd charge for a number of things
as long as you donβt overcap them itβs fine
Hey, when playing with 2 points in supercharger and forced induction - does anythign change in st rota? or its still the same while playing with lethality?
Interesting, and I'd drop my 1 lethal for wot?
No change
yeah Wowhead show it as tier B...and "can be mostly ignored"...yet it's out-simming Sac and DSG
tier list doesnβt matter
not sure if Raidbots is simming the trinkets properly or what
but yes it sims well because the sim plays around it iirc
right...tier list is just a recommendation
Tier lists and bis lists are created based on specific gear and specific scenarios that you arenβt exactly matching. Trust sim
is ma visually bugged or not giving the buff at all
neither?
Havent run into anything
works fine for me

yea idk i havenβt looked at the stats on the character sheet in weeks
maybe ma doesnβt show up there
who knows
it functions properly tho
KEKW
coming back after 3 weeks, how does the new build change rotation in m+? do we use vanish 6-7 secs into deathmark? Previously, I used to keep vanish for occassions when tank chains pulls or for huge pack when ruptures falls off.
during the subterfuge buff on using vanish, do i use improved garrote for cp generator orvanish is used for getting the crit buff from master assasin.
mostly, can i just stick to the old build .
you have subterfuge and 2 vanishes so you press one at 12sec left on kb (not 6) and then press the next charge for whatever you desire
do I remove the lethality for extra vanish charge?
can hold it for iron wire or hold it for a sketchy chain pull or just slam for damage as long as itβs not going all the way back up to overcapped charges ur fine
Yes but you can also not do this and still play 1/2leth then vanish logic is the same as itβs always been, on cd
either is fine
so we use vanish as soon as we enter into KB since it last only 14 secs? if subterfuge is already running while KB is up, we use vanish as soon as the buff falls.
i guess the same logic applies for raids and m+ bosses?
in raid you donβt play subterfuge
so you vanish at 6s
but yes in m+ you vanish 2s after kb ideally
itβs fine to use vanish elsewhere tho itβs not super joever if it desyncs
just press buttons and figure it out

I just did 12 NW, and went ttk, was that the right thing to do?
and another question, for Nw, is it worth learning Sub for nw?
i think assassination is more than good enough but sub could be fine too
are you thinking about doing the swap before stitchflesh?
yeds
maybe if you expect to struggle with stitchflesh but it feels like he's been nerfed enough and assassination is not bad damage by any means
I mean also got sent down twice in a row, so dont have great feel abt st on last boss
hello smart rogue people i see people! i see the top dogs on raider.io is not using the recommended embilshements in the wohead guide what is the reason for this? and also i have 636 weapon crafted with ascension crafted and a wrist crafted. i have enough for another craft what to do. keep weapon, and remove embilishment or just add 3 crafted ? sorry if this is impossible to understandhttps://raider.io/characters/eu/draenor/Karashok
Is crimson tempest worth keeping up on a single target, like a boss in M+?
embellishments make very very very little difference, it would only make sense to swap it up if you don't mind the damage hit in raid or if you have everything else maxed and can afford a second set of items
the ideal mplus embelishment is dawnthread but people have ascendance cuz they are also raiding, and also embelishments suck so you can run anything
long term those poeple will also have dawnhtrea
htfnt
dawnthread
at non stealth pulls, do we try to apply garrote and rupture one by one in the targets? in case we dont have vanish to spread the dots, i think im losing a lot of dps in chain pulls or when i cant go stealth
rupture yes but garrote is not very important
so i use build thats better in raid? and do i add a crafted belt ? or just upgrade the good pieces
do u think its worth using the 2nd vanish talent?
ascendance is MUCH better in raid, dawnthread is only slightly better in keys if at all
yeah i think it's nice if you're into that kind of thing but not necessary, pretty good for keys that you think it'll help you out a lot when you need more blanket silences too
it is one of the fabled "meaningful decisions" available for you to make yourself
i like it in gb where there are a lot of casters, people start dying when the ogres and beguilers start casting
when you select multiple gems and the blasphemite gem does raid bots automatically try the different combinations to check the crit effect difference?
sub is lightyears better on the last 2 bosses

this may be a stupid question - but when im spreading bleeds/poisons on a new group, is my first priority to spread the ruptures? or garrote?
if you scroll up just a little you'll see the same question
depends on combo points, one is a generator and one is a spender
pretty sure it's garrote <5
rup >=5
A lot of nuance to this depending on combo points and darknest night. But get 2 garrotes and 2 rupture and deathstalkers mark up in your first 5 global
5-6
just had to kite add on gb 3rd boss for no joke 30 sec +
it was 1% for about 25 of those 30 sec
If tricks is useless on sin then why are rogues timing 15-16s running tricks over blackjack?
Or did I miss something
if we are using transmitter do we just sync it to dm?
You kinda have to hit it early so you can solve it for dm but you do use them together every time
Itβs actually pretty good for the affix this week because of the shorter cooldown
curious, how much dps are you guys pulling on bosses at 12+ keys? (i havent been in a group with another rogue and have no reference)
With this then should we always DM and KB after our initial garrote/ruptures to try and get as much damage as possible since we only want to spread ruptures for SoB stacks?
Itβs suggested on wowheadβ¦?
After applying CS and CT of course btw sorry
Why tho
Dont waste DM on packs that wonβt last 15 seconds. If the prio target has enough health and you have enough time before boss. You should always be using KB in packs
!tricks
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
Couldnβt tell you
Generally whatβs a good KB window consist of or look like?
If 2 shivs for raid you would shiv the global before KB
I'm doing 15s and my tank has zero interest in blackjack
so i roll with the ponchos
like 1mil to 1.1mil? Sin st isnt that great
too many factors
gotcha, than kyou!
Hey guys I know im making A LOT of mistakes, can someone review my logs. I am parsing grey π
Iβm steakshank in this log
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/WvQDT1mGnAfFgZ6b#fight=5&type=damage-done
Is this kind of the opener I should be doing, or am I doing something really wrong?
I keep seeing other assassination rogues less ilvl that can really spike during the opener and I don't idk what's up
(note this probably isnt perfect since its in queen and i sometimes can lag a bit)

does anyone have any idea how much DPS value you get from the Queens ring roughly?
heroic version
raidbots knows
I got my first 85+ parses in heroic last night. Mostly I was grey parsing early Xpac. Just like to thank ppl in the channel for the help and advice Ive gotten. You guys would be surprised how much MORE helpful this discord is than other class discords. Again ... thanks guys
did you find this out in the end?
Didn't
@balmy condor the answer to the ring is 24k DPS from the procs
seems reasonable
there's a plater script that hides the parasites unless you target them or they fixate you
it can help if you have a lot of lag
okay this was more related to vanish and using the carnage thing to spread bleeds or envenom spam but
i figured it out
yeah this spec is smoke
just gotta
ambush - garrote 1 - rupture 1 - garrote 4 - garrote 7 - rupture 4 - garrote 10 - garrote 13 - rupture 7 - fan - tempest - fan - envenom - cds
then vanish and do it again
every pull
then the sim just randomly shiv-tea-vanish-garrote 4 times in a row
havnt figured out that riddle yet
bro what
Garrote 12 times in a row just cause you can tbh
I mean
ain't rocket science
just shiv the end of kb
vanish for ma
refresh opener garrotes
pretty straight forward innit
We not running sudden demise in high keys?
Doesnβt matter that much?
Maybe even 3 billion
shuffle btween SD TTK IW
Iw?
Whatβs iw
iron wire
iron wire
Ah
im actually really enjoying internal rupture.. guess i haven't hit the key level where caustic overtakes? im a nub though in like 6's
uh
I mean it should be overtaking in like
heroic
internal bleeding sucks pretty hard
Not running caustic?
should overtake it in questing
Is that a thing
feels like it to me for sure
it definitely isn't a thing
everything is just dying so fast maybe its who im running with
yeah but does it not spend the combo points cause garrote is just higher value since ruptures are already out from opener
so internal is for sure doing more
idk probably some edge case where it should be a env
any other fatebounders sometimes skip the 7th flip straight to 8 and don't get the capstone?
If I am sitting at 617 ilvl, is simming around 950,000 normal or bad?
i'm 618 simming about 1.2m
yikes
I feel like my st is lacking don't know what to do
can i linkmy sim and you help me figure what needs to change? I'm kinda noob with this
that is great news
i was kinda going crazy trying to figure it out
yeh I mean no one's wasting their time optimizing for random aoe sims
so it'll work good enough
but if you look hard enough it'll probably mess up a gcd or two
and that's fine
can anyone help me figure out what to do? for example those items only give like tiny dps increase
not sure where im messing up
Hi fellas, looking for some log review as a new assa player. wondering what might be creating the discrepancy on envenom dps on mythic rashanan. that seems to be the main issue, but anything else y'all see on what i can improve upon? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/compare/RAc2ZMGa7bxYyDvL/XWjpVMQBL47GcwDC#fight=6,42&source=2,Ethassa&type=damage-done
your simming ST with m+ talents
ty that raised it a bit
new assass player here for aoe dmg rotation am i looking to multi dot garrote and rupture out side of the spread from stealth?
tab target
after 28 runs, i got my hero skardyns
not for my mental
I mean the average is easily above 40
Question for Ara kara final boss. Does cloak of shadows stop the suck in
Garrote main target, tab target rupture up to 5
Not the suck in but the damage. Just make sure to time it right so you actually cloak the damage
did we get another nerf recently? I just went from a 619 dagger to 626 and the sim is very slightly higher
like, within the last week
yeah
so
there's 4 places to check the tooltip of that trinket
and they're all different
and not one of them is correct
has anyone tried running up to the adds on GB valiona and applying rupture do u have time for that before it picks a target?
wth lol
welcome to world of warcraft
i havent dared to do it
anyone wanna take a look at my sikran log and let me know where im missing some dps?
Limilli Log Review
sure
can i quetion here?
yes
This time, I took the Blood-Kissed Kukri, Regicide mythic raid item, but if I do this, I have to remove Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension from the weapon I crafted. Would it be better to use 2 Dawnthread Linings or keep the crafted weapon and use Darkmoon Sigil: Would it be better to use Ascension?
I'm not a native English speaker so my grammar may be wrong.
I'm not 100% sure, it is gear dependent, I would recommend simming your gear to be sure, and you can add that stuff in and see as well
you did great buddy
it do be magic damage
and it should negate the knockback too
hmm wonder if i was bugged then cause it didnt work for me so i had to run away
OH damage doesn't really matter, I think in raid situation crafted dagger is better
It simd higher for me than double myth dagger and dawnthread
Ascension+the embellishment
You can top sim it anyway
its not really that much downtime
yea i know but still should be working
Is the difference in item level 3 not that important? I'm curious so I ask
No, not at all for OH
mm.. what is "OH"?
off hand
aa
also yeah the 3 diff is not important because ascension/dawnthread are very strong
ok
and offhand doesnt do shit for us
Difference between everything is pretty marginal in the end, I just had crafted dagger before I had 2nd myth dagger so I kept it
Either option is still strong
its crazy
whenever i get lust or pi my game starts lagging
my client cant handle haste
at this point youd really only swap 639 kukri for 639 regicide
That seems like the correct answer
Unless you wanna drop like 30-40k to swap everyyhing
thx everyone
i am so annoyed its been lagging for days and i dont know what to do about it
and my ms is perfect
ok so in opener is it worth while to ambush garrote rupture DM shiv KB vanish envenom shiv mut mut envenom to try to get the super charger points both inside the MA window

https://medal.tv/games/world-of-warcraft/clips/j2ZQAREcDkK3QhsxF?invite=cr-MSxwdncsMTcyMzI0NTA1LA
this is not normal right? (around 17-22s)
Watch laggy mess and millions of other World of Warcraft videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
or am i tripping
does that have any other consequences like is anything important gonna dissapear?
look how the boss is just teleporting around unnaturally and people as well and my movement and animations are just fucked
Looks normal?
No
Boss teleports because of where everyone stands
I'm on a phone so can't see that clearly for your char
ye then u wont be able to see properly
Tbh it looks normal for me too. I even zoomed in
Lol
Boss always does that, and your groups placement is pretty wild
if i have transmitter, its a nightmare to use but at what point do i use it cause the mini game can be fuckin aids
He will teleport like that
it is crazy lag
like right before DM in window?
Do it before
you don't enjoy your character randomly jumping around like you pressed killing spree on outlaw?
I think its more impressive that you did over 1,6 million dps on this boss lol

before DM but like how much more before DM
the game's good
You have like 20s to do the game
10/10
So up to you
also
but yeah that seems like some strange ass lag more-so than any other issue
i hit FOK and it doesnt actually go off until the global is over
probably a weird desync w/ the server or some shit
This raid is so fucking laggy maybe I've normalized it
thank you than someone noticed it
holy shit
people are saying im not lagging
like what
yea i been lagging a good bit in raid as well
ye that's def not how your character's supposed to move
there's not fluidity
at all
it's literally hopping around 
yeah
and it griefed me twice during the fight
queueing wrong gcd
cause server doesnt register my presses
or some shit
even though my ms is perfect
the thing is
my game crashed unexpectedly and when i started it, all my settings were reset. so u know u start wow u get the cinematic blizzard music blasting your headphones
and ever since then i've been lagging
since my settings reset
try repairing the installation
Is this kill mythic ? Cant tell
yes
something def went fucky after the crash
