Read it
i usually keep them under the foreskin
some questions can be answered faster by reading on ur own
or just play fatebound
it’s totally viable
and totally passive

The sock of man
im gonna be rude, but coming into a class discord and asking how the basic things WORK, cause you dont want to read is even ruder than me
that's my outlaw way 😄 to me, sorry it's just like read the instructions or have somebody who'se worked the job years to explain there way feels easier
So real
I write guides no one reads
Guys for m+ in big packs is the play to keep up 5 ruptures-1 garrote-2+ tempest? Ty 👍👍👍
Read guides so
As I linked few mins ago
you dont press garrote outside of opener and vanish
I mean asking people in here for basic-ish stuff if it’s actually confusing is fine
but other steps should be taken first prolly
not only for the sake of the ppl in here cause realistically who cares
but like
i do 😦
You don’t need to
and get a balanced understanding first

Like there’s two types of discord users
I check it, I promise
The ones that read the guides and don’t need to read the guides
And the ones that don’t read the guides and definitely need to read the guides
Hopefully weekend maybe probably idk
Sick + quitting irl job + new job
Is kinda wicked
the hate will always stay and probably get worse :3
this is me
tbh i want a relevant job so my motivation is not high rn
whats with kids going offline when u have 1 wipe in a +10
2nd boss in mists was first wipe 0 deaths to that point
Idk i did an 11 arakara earlier and some guy told the tank to kill himself and then told me to kill myself
so i gave him a little 30 second therapy sesh
and we moved on
2 chested btw
Least toxic m+ pug
id just say ill do it after the key
im fine with that, i just link them my discord and we have a mw2 roast session
@balmy condor
2 chested?
+2
ah
legion vocabulary i think
never played it but picked it up anyway
i didnt play legion
Getting dumped and then immediately going into a +11 ara is the most deranged behavior I have ever heard of in my life
“Damn… she left me…. I’m crushed…. Well, better solo q and instalock draven mid”
Thanks mate appreciate so in vanish we don’t ambush-garr-garr-rupture-rupture nah?
LOLLLL
literally
i swear to fucking god m+ players and league players have the same disease
it’s insane
mutants
Average m+ player
only reason youd ambush is to change the mark target
Got dump and instantly goes on a key
Instead of ya know
Eating icecream
And crying
Val players named I miss her most cringe imo

Hello there fellow stabbers, does any one has an idea where such differences in damage could come from? Fight Broodbound Horror, same Build/Ilvl/fight length. Right one no add dmg. I'm analyzing my logs and this only appears on broodbound horror (mythic)
felt. transitions suck ass with dsm
So what would rotation be in vanish then please mate? Ty 👍
gotta hold darkest night for 15 seconds to make sure u dont lose it on queen going into p2
Cancer
big flippa
gaps
for aoe? depends on the situation there is nothing set in stone
are you vanishing for bleeds? do some garrotes and ruptures
are there casters? consider more garrotes for silences
i vanish for MA in kingsbane usually so not using it for bleeds except some garrotes towards the end
Sucks on court too
We need a better hero talent
personally i only vanish in m+ on bosses for ma if its on trash its for the aoe silence
kyveza is raw st so fb better
and then it’s just cancer and cancer
on the last 2
for ds
well youre losing dps
if you only vanish for silence and on bosses
youre losing vanish casts
its usually on cd
bc i have to vanish when the tank chain pulls 2 packs while we have 1 guy left at 20% hp and i dont get to re
madge? 
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage

log command no exist here
do it the old fashioned way
(ping quake)
@spice spire
wake up bitch
sin with sub gear man
the new tech
forget to swap gear==>gap 2.8+ r.io wannabes

im like from my laptop at work

its good memories man
dal tho

hype
idk,im remaining unconvinced for m+ yet again
ppl just que and gain r.io,it means nothing
a bad player is always a bad player
only way to have fun is playing with friends
or guildies
otherwise just do vault keys and raid log

ty!
realistically quake sleepin as fuck rn but he like always does reviews if u catch him while he’s awake
homie deluxe
Zold diff ain’t it
That guy killed in 2:40 and you killed in 4
Seems pretty cut and dry
whispyr reviews sometimes too but he’s a pussy and a hater
ty keep that in mind, it's a rather specific topic so no hurry required
Execute damage good, execute damage go up
He had egg with mastery buff
You have not that
Ggwp go next
ty i was really irritated by the difference in envenom damage, and i filtered for same fight length, still he did double the dmg on envenom
as in zoomed the fight in
Well yeah, he’s in execute lmao
Sin and sub gear are the same in m+...
mast/vers isnt the same with mast/crit

am i missing something here
sin doesnt care but u kinda like some crit
Pissers sub want vers?
sub doesnt

When opening from stealth am I just aiming to get a single garrotte and rupture onto the pack? I don’t need to use them more than once?
hey people! does anyone know what race is the best for st?
Vulpera, cus you can do flips and look cute
u have a cap when spreading bleeds, so u need to spam more if i m not wrong
im gonna try both im still not convinced for either spec tbh when both tyr and fort are present
but ye it looks like sin has the edge
more consistent ''aoe''
why top rogues play nigh elf now? is it better than dwarf?
double vanish?
kekw, good luck getting a restealth midpull with shadowmeld
it's finnicky but it works unless you are in combat with boss/miniboss
and you have to pray that something doesnt knock you out of it

its unreliable
nelf is good for pvp though
dwarf or mechagnome or orc
pretty confident those are the best
night elves are sexy
but blood elves are more
play what u like best if u not tryharding i guess
Wait what was better, macro Tea to KB or Shiv?
life is so hard man
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
velf also good
and dmg
no idgaf
panda is cringe i cant play it
damage racials can die
i just want to be fluffy again
tbh
they should really make a furry twink race
so i can have best of both worlds
i wanna hit 3k on my rogue and play fresh classic

i can do it
my gnome is kinda rat
😄
but can do some dmg
play Hardcore , they will open a new serveR 😛
im gonna take my idk,8th-9nth grand marshal
classic raids are too uninteresting for 3 months of repeating them
even worse on hardcore lmao
hardcore is a lifestyle
cringers be cringing
to each their own
personally u will find me dead before u find me raid logging to do vanilla mechanics
but
everyone is different
precisely
is there any fun macros, for Skardyn's grace with any of my big cds?
why prog realms are shit
cus ur forced to farm the same boss that doesn’t do anything
on ur spec that has no skill ceiling
for multiple months

and it takes 40 fucking people
Dog no
you know you wanna
we typically macro it with deathmark
alright, good to know. would you have a macro handy? not quite great at makin em.
hold need to rewrite it now
#showtooltip deathmark
/Use 13
/Use 14
/Cast Deathmark
this should work
thank you.
u r welcome fam
remember that slot 13 is the 1st 14 the 2nd,u can erase the other one on macro based on wher euve got it equipped
unless ofc u are going with 1 passive and skadryns
you dont use mutilate in stealth window. right?
@spice spire happy bday
you mean during subterfuge?
that one yes.
just slam ambush
4 months late bud
bc i am currently copying uh my setup from no stealth to subterfuge.
alright ty ty.
does cloak/evasion work on first boss mythic suck?
do you guys switch with tab or click to garrote everyone with the vanish stuff that lets you stab the fuck out of everyone
In aoe 1 tempest does the whole pack yeah as the bleed spread and the dot gets extended on re application? Ty
i mouseover or i just ignore it
i usually ignore it
because its not really a big deal
!carnage
Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required
- The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
- You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets
Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.
It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.
thats a new one
cus thats not a "requirment" at all
clicking is way better than tab tho
and mouseover is just clicking with less inputs

but yeh
not really but eh
yes really
i mean it objectively is
like, doesnt matter lol
yes it does
because tab can put you on a target that already has 1 of the 2 bleeds
tab targetting is slow and cumbersome
?
and then youre spending extra time and inputs and mental energy
reacting to it being a bad target
Nothing said anything about a requirement
and tabbing and doing that again

BUT its not really like relevant so who cares about optimizing something that alrdy doesnt matter anyway
mate, how much do you overthink every single action in this game lol
how is it overthinking
this is what optimization looks like
its very very important to optimize settings etc
cause it lets you put more mental into the relevant mid gameplay decisions
You guys must be way better clickers than me. I select the wrong thing constantly trying to click. Might as well roll the dice with a tab and let god sort it out after.
instead of shit that can just be avoided with a little setup while ur afk in hub city
same shit as like weakauras
then you should probably just slap bleeds on the same target
why give yourself more irrelevant shit to think about when you can just not
let a loud horn do the thinking for u

exact same argument applies to mouseover macros removing 2 inputs, its not a big deal but theres practically no reason not to
no, thats wannabe optimization lol
like, taking a miniscule thing and acting as if its somehow making a difference in the end when it really does not
People just love to be contrarians in this chat
when did i ever say it makes a difference
tryan has consistently shit takes
i have gone out of my way at literally every possible step to reiterate that it DOES NOT make a difference
ur just putting words in my mouth for no reason

Speaking of the horn, someone here should make a rogue specific addon package for DBM that like tells you exactly when to feint. Like rather than all the random warnings you get now and have to figure it out just "press feint now" warning.
who are you again 
we talk about optimizing keybinds like it matters (cause it does)
does anyone have a garrote mouse over macro ?
theres a lot of different formats that work but i just copypasted the one from WOWHEAD.COM
if i recall correctly

hey guysm in Raid, do you hold transmitter for CDs or do you cast it off CD, its 1.5 min where DM is 2mins
of course i cast it with the first set of DM but do i hold for 30 seconds to get the second olr thrid to line up
yes you hold
and preferably use it 1-2 GCD's before you use DM so you can do the minigame
if you struggle at doing it fast
you know me, always double down
he says raid
i dont think anyone actually does that 

erm filter evasion
mods make this man eat british food
i mean, dont use them?
be normal and put them in sims so the number is bigger and then use skardyns+any other passive trinket in actual gameplay

Can someone recommend me a assa Talent Import spec to do zekvirr?? And what idols for Bran I cant find a assa Rogue guide
Says delve build on wowhead
I recommend going outlaw and saving yourself a lot of time haha
basic raid build with spatter+elusivness
brann on healer with arrowhead+amorph
same relics on every class
kick the heal, let brann dispell the first poison dot, cloak the 2nd, vanish the 3rd, brann dispells the 4th, boss should be dead after that/cloak up again
always have the heal potion HoT active
if brann doesnt dispell fast enough or you have nothing against the dot, evasion+feint and pray
Ty for ur insight will do that 🙂
can also stoneform
Im nelf but will try with meld
do i play twice vanish in m+ now?
if you want to
Hey guys, when doing the sequence here, sometimes i dont get to 5CPs, should i just mutilate again or do less than 5CP Envenom?
never finish under 5CP
yes
Thank you
....Aaand, is it normal that there is quite a bit of waiting when playing the spec?
!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
Im coming from Outlaw and there you basically fill every global possible no downtime
So i Envenom the last second of buff while trying not to get above 50% Energy while at the same time get to 50% Energy (or more?) for my cooldowns?
even with TTK we refresh envenom within the last few second of duration?
Yea
last few seconds of the lower stack
cause thats the one that gets replaced
you can also just slam and its not as bad anymore because energy economy is a lot more chill compared to pre 11.0.5 builds
but
Stack?
Oh i dont have it in my M+ talents
then just last second yea
with the ST build yes, but with the m+ one i struggle a bit with the boss dmg
dont "try" to get above 50 for cds though
let sanguine blades be a passive
ignore it completely
other than
avoiding it
or just dont take it
So even in cooldowns on ST i shouldnt just spam Envenom?

you spam during shiv
specifically
you definitely spam during your cds
during deathmark especially energy is not a problem so you spam spam spam
you have double energy with death mark
and about the Tea stacks? do we try to keep up a charge for the DM/KB?
just macro it to KB and it plays itself
i mean true but that energy isnt overcapping 
i guess youd stack kb marginally faster
doesn’t matter, more envenoms is faster kb ramp
Macro Tea to Kingsbane?
ye
!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
macro tea with shiv
Tea is kinda automatically used for me
oh
Because of the new change
fair nuf
So i can unbind Tea with this?
the bigger thing is that during DM you do more envenom dmg aswell cus amp. poison is active 2x and lethal dose has even more stacks
many forget that

the difference between maintaining envenom and mashing envenom is basically nonexistent anyway
with ttk
who gives a fuck
just press buttons
^
problem is, i let all my stack consume cause i spam a bit too much with the M+ build
mixed up tea with coldblood cause that you macro to kingsbane, but tea you macro to shiv 👍
Ur bac
kb is 1min cd
tea is 1min cd
shiv is ~30sec
tea always alings with KB and Shiv by default
No thats a different discord chatter
you always have 1 charge

@humble verge
It is not.
Cannot look at light rn or I get nauseous
ouch
But GM le I hope you’ve an amazing day
I'm sorry for directing photons into your eyeballs
if you look at the envenom buff uptime graph on a sim it basically always maintains 1 stack and then spams envenoms during cds so
i see..ty
that’s what i’m going off
and the funny thing is
100% perfect minmaxing Tea VS not giving a single fuck about it and letting the game auto use it whenever
is 0,4% or smth like that
like, dont think about tea to hard
ye that's what i do..i just spam and let the game consume all the charges
macro with shiv and just play tbh
thx for the help ❤️
I tried using this macro for shiv/tea but it was not working during raid last night. It only cast shiv.
#showtooltip Shiv
/cast Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null
This is a dumb question but a mistake I’ve made plenty of times, did you replace shiv on your bars with the macro? Did you do that then switch saved builds so the new build doesn’t have it on your bar?
^ 
Arent you supposed to press castsequence macro twice for the second spell?
in case you spam the keybind so you dont use 2 tea
as tyran said
yes, that's how it works if u put spells in a sequence
but in the case of the tea macro, the sequence is for nr 1 tea and nr 2 null (so, "do nothing if pressed within 5 seconds")
because u have 1 line of /cast shiv, the macro does this every press no matter what
and on the next line there is castsequence reset=5 tea, null
so the 5 sec will reset with every press
so if u wait 4 sec and press again
u will get shiv but no tea
and it will reset the 5 sec timer
for u to be able to get tea from that button
🙂

guys, anyone of u know where I can find where u put pandemic in plater?
happens im half brit so sounds cool
I would also like to make the 5th combopoint light up in a different color from the rest, is this possible through plater and if so where?

Gnome and happy in the same sentence?
anyone have a pickpocket macro that I dont have to manualy switch targets?
used to have one many moons ago but cant seem to find it
/targetenemy
/cast Pickpocket
not rly im playing cool with my ponytails

I’m not happy humans don’t have the same hair options as dracythr does
But they are both like humans

Hi all, looking to come back to wow, and just wanted to see how assassination rogues are doing/feeling
Amazing/good
in both m+ and raid?
Yes
yes
Does anyone know how many minutes into the broodtwister fight you run out of room or where I can look it up?
Around 10 minutes
Ty Eleem
For my guild sin could be as good as it is
and not get invited to raids
sub gonna be op next season so there is still dagger competition
As long as Sin or Sub are better than Outlaw.
"ur only better bc acro" -some oulaw kid in the assa discord the last 2 days
"oh and bc bladeflurry is hard capped"
I'm not used to having this much choice, it's nice.
anybody here using Elemental Focusing Lens for raid/m+?
had 2 people swap to rogue alts just for the fight, and we hit like 36% before 2nd set of p2 eggs lul

hi, shadowmeld doesn't work as vanish right ? it doesn't proc indiscriminate carnage ?
I was checking the maxoll guide (made by IA 🤡 )
Yesnt
on trash you can meld -> stealth which would proc indiscriminate carnage. but this is not consistent
ooooh okokkkk
this is not consistent if a monster has true sight in the pack
on bosses this doesnt work because you cant drop combat to stealth
I guess
Its moreso due to combat in this game being a bit wonky
The safest way to make it work as often as possible is to run out of the pack to do it
alright I got it
Aye we don't even play the first set of eggs in the last area
But again, it doesnt always work
I tried to shadowmeld into garrot but it wasn't working as invisibility, I didn't think about casting stealth in between
sure sure ty for the tip
not been there yet
saj
its not something you wanna rely on for sure
Assa absolutely cranks bossdmg on Ovi 
u shadowmeld to exit combat then stealth
it doesnt autoput u in stealth
yaaaaaaaaaaaa
even tho i also try to pad with crimson lul
my ovi damage on our best pull yesterday was a good 1,4m
this is my guild, but we suck and will probably only do 5-6/8 this tier. at least dagger drops are always mine, though. i dont think we even have an 80 rogue alt in guild
Can You evade Dodge the frontal from Big mobs in NW? The cleave
the marauders?
also i believe no
just stand behind them :3
Its a discussion with friends, he is tank he decided to snipe me Yesterday. Quite impressive snipe.
But we just talking about if its possible or not
nah
ive not tried it atleast
you could go in a normal NW
use evasion and try and see
why should we cast FoK if we're not talented into Vicious Venoms in ST?
Need some advice 🙂
I have a 619 crafted dagger and a 606 dagger.
Best to craft a brand New 636 and smack In mh and put 619 In OH, or Just upgrade the 619 to 636 and use spark some other place
Doing a pug raid for heroic
This is the easiest way to parse high omk
Got a 96 blood and legit forgot to kingsbane (Pressed it and was som,ehow out of range, idk how that happened)
First time ive bmessed KB up that fight
iirc it's due to clear the witnesses. in ST with VV it isnt worth using FoK with CTW but without VV you do
Thats what I did, 2 hours later in NW dropped the dagger for my offhand xD

What about the mag'har orc one 6.5k secondary stats on 2m cd
Oh the new one
Haha, think i Just craft a New.., better ilvl gain:p
Mag'har orc's new racial looks nice atleast for end of S1
why r we talking about dps racials in here
Maghar looks pretty good, I think orc is bis rn but race doesn't matter much
Uh oh it's the oli police
Run
Fr tho racials are minimal at best (dps racials)
i was anti dwarf for M+ value and then I went dwarf and I love having that little buffer for pug keys
im just curious
healer is really slow at dispels on siege? at least i can get a stoneform and cloak off and live for a few cycles
could be * a 2nd skradyns
idk. Think it looks interesting
I really don't think it's gonna be impactful. Racials usually aren't outside of like DF troll for uhdk/arcane mage
void elf blink thing looks useful aswell
i will be paying 25$ to change my race and then lose more than the dps i gained by race changing by making one single rotational mistake
worth 👀
yo oli remember we minmax here
true.
its all about the simsssss dude
I care about utility
the people who say the sims also parse like 80
xD
Any troll feet enjoyers
Nelf only
ew
I’m a hard ilvl parse coper
God I love Ilvl parses big sucker for those
im living long on my monks ilvl parses when i got boosted throug heroic with my mates
might have done 500k dps but i parsed 99
Did u link it in ur tinder bio
nah. on Grindr tho
Gamer
I’m just a heroic raider so ilvl parse is how I keep my mental, I have no myth track gear
Sorry for assuming
Huh? No myth track? No M+ vault?
Fuck m+
hahahaha
M+ chill
Clutch u can pug first 4 bosses on mythic its pretty easy
Just do your 10s ez and then done
Not a big fan of 5man content for some reason
more personal responsibility than flex raiding 
Classic MMORPG player
im fucking hyped for Darkflame Cleft m+
Ya ok
That dungeon is going to be cheeks
U from moonguard tord?
You strike me as the goldshire inn explorer
As far as personal responsibility, I’m the one that winds up doing all mechanics in raids because the guild I’m in isn’t very good and can’t handle them
Yeah i think ive seen u there before
o7 men of culture
I want to get 4/8 this weekend. I have aotc, tried pugging Ulgrax last night but the groups I was joining were just so uncoordinated. What do you look for when finding a group?
idk man pugging mythic is just kinda shit
make sure the rl actually has bosses dead tho is a good start ig
this probably is everywhere in guides but i need to ask quick before the next pull: at 6 combo points do i mutilate for the 7th CP or do i envenom at 6
Is a raid leader that's 4/8 going to take someone that isn't 4/8?
My guild does have a m prog group but I can't commit the time to for that. Our casual group is consistently clearing heroic but there's little interest in swapping to mythic lol
Finishers at 5 or more
Unless you have darkest night
Probably not unless they really need a raid buff
I wouldn’t think it’s that unlikely though, especially with good H parses
Most of my H parses are purple. Few blue outliers
I'm from the same server / faction and dornogal is always full

noob rogue here - the M+ builds all use without a trace but my guildie told me it's bait.... is he being too vanish shy, or what?
trying to figure out what the best build is for doing 10+ keys, any tips?
8-11+ that is

that all dont matter
It's fine, some use some don't
but really just import hybrid and vibe idk
Should I trust sim and put haste on all my socket and crafted items or just ignore it and go mastery/crit crit/mastery ?
I kinda wanna trust sim but i haven't seen a lot of discussion regarding haste here
!stats
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
why should you not trust the sims

Trust the sim
My toon went to 2% haste and now wants my next craft to be a haste master neck.
Wouldn’t bother simming multi gem combos. That is cringe
Have you tried simming dungeon slice
Yeah even in ST and Dslice haste mastery neck is dunking on crit mastery. Crazy times
Im simming light movement
Your crit must be insane ig
Aight i guess ima go for items recommendations and ignore gems, thanks guys o/
Everyone has insane crit with MA already
But for a haste mast neck to be outperforming their crit mast to that degree I mean
for blightbone (first boss wake), cloak first frame right? is there anything else I can do to deal with it?
you can just evasion it
got it
Cloak on the last second or evasion
also cloak thing is the first second of cloak
so I can use both, wanted to confirm, thank you!
!nw
The breath/frontal from the first boss in Necrotic Wake is an attack, not a spell.
In order to immune the the breath, you must be in the first second of cloak of shadows (“a moment of magic immunity”). After the first second of cloak of shadows has elapsed, the attack will hit you and no longer be immuned.
Alternatively you can use evasion to dodge the breath.
evasion just simply dodges it
yeah not quite frame
oh we have a nw command, thanks @normal mist
mainly wanted to confirm evasion
Can also use it for the Belcher guy upstairs but you've gotta be giga quick with it
15124 crit shouldn’t be too much
I know who knows
Simc already told me.
What's up gamers? I am here because I am switching mains to AssaRogue because I have always wanted to play a Rogue bbut been intimidated. I have been getting the rotation down (Fun AF), but I am just struggling with utilizing defensives properly in general. Feint when AOE is going out?, Crimson Vial when AOE or having to run through dumb shit, but like..I pretty much just guess with cloak at this point, and I feel like I hold my Evasion. Just wondering if I can get some insight on proper use? I am going to be getting into mythic raid and I am 2600+ IO on my current toon(Ret pally). Appreciate any tips and tricks'y'all got.
why do we fan of knives in st opener pls?
If you are playing deathstalker evasion is a good magic dr
Been reading through WH and watching a bunch of different youtubers, but none of them talk Defensives.
DS always.
You use fan of knives as a generator with clear the witness active, once per application of deathstalkers mark
Clear the witness read the talent
As long as you don't have viscous venom talented you use the proc
Whats a defensive
!trick
Defensive is Soda after 20 tacobells(not that it works but.. 😂 )
!tricks
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
thanks mate does it really do much dmg in st though?
guys how much damage loss is it if we talent into ironwire in m+ ? like around what percent ? how do you do the math around that ?
in dung-slice
~3% dropping twist the knife
~5% dropping sanguine blades.
(for me) simyoself
what does this even do
Better than a mutilate
The macro will always tricks a tank if there is one in your party or raid without you having to change it or set your focus
It is through the weakaura
Heyho so our Major cooldown Deathmark how does it work exactly? do i have to apply it first and afterwards my garrot and rupture or can i apply bleeds first and deathmark after and the damage gets still doubled ?
that makes way more sense, thanks
100% damage loss to take iron wire
pure noob trap
never take iron wire
it works bothways, but in opener u apply dots first into deathmark
It works with your bleeds already on the target, but at the last few seconds you typically want to vanish and reapply garrote
the garrote stays empowered then ? or why do i want to do that
its better than a mutilate its not a crazy big deal if you mess it up
So typically you will open from stealth apply bleeds death mark kingsbane shiv at start of kb shiv again last 7 seconds vanish to re apply improved garrote at last 2 seconds of death mark then don't apply garrote again until that fully ticks off
reapply imp garrotte AND gives you master assassin crit for the end of your DM/KB for big dmg
If you do that correct you will clear over 3mill burst single target easily on opener
that thistle tea shiv macro, it's designed to use tea after shiv and then prevent you from wasting a 2nd charge of tea if u spam click right?
and it's just one click cause tea off gcd?
If you have thistle active you won't use thistle again with it
You want to shiv on cd now also
it prevents u for pressing a 2nd tea while its active
because you'll always have it up for kb still?
Yeah so long as u open correct and use it correct between kb
And always prio shiv at the end of KB window last 6 o 8 seconds
that depends on ur uptime as well
my issue is more remembering to use it when kb not going
u cant utilize that edgy usage
you use in aoe without kb?
I love how a fuol group of curved people still has someone missing the pop
You remove them
inv someone w curbved
they do the same thing
Yeah to increase bleeds
doesn't that require Arterial Precision?
yes
we're running that in aoe now?
You only shiv on cd with 1 shiv
😮
yeah i didnt think so
without atp shiv in aoe does nothing
Not true
that is true for fucks sake
what the hell do you mean not true
why would you send a shiv on cd with 2 charges
With 2 shivs you use them both in kingsbane
^
bro is just dogmatic
mostly yapping rather than acutally realistically approaching shiv usage
sorry i’m sleepy mad not mad mad
but for real please do not shiv on cd with 2 charges
ur kb desyncs
so ''shiv on cd'' is dog
dont listen to silly stuff
makes no sense
if u can guarantee the KB coverage then press it sure
but its not 100% certain u can
What are we typing

just refuting his nonsense with what is a rational outcome of not pressing shiv on cd
but how are you ever not guaranteeing the last 8s of kb is covered
if u just slam it on cd
u can just be late to hit a pack or get the opportunity to shiv
coz pack dies or whatever
well tahts what im saying
on cd means on cd
true i guess 
soo, we dont shiv on cd ?XD
i feel like holding it in that case is incredibly intuitive and really doesn’t need so many messages to explain
Question: Raidbots says this 2 points in Lethality is more dps over all then 2 points in Subterfuge, do yall think that is correct?
but maybe i overestimate the average wow player brain
so many people get carried to aotc and legit belong in LFR
What percent of the playerbase do you think have bought curbe
for mythics
do you guys use an Amber gem to get that extra bonus from the blasphemite or nah?
this tier has done nothing but destroy any faith i have in the average wow raider
probably but it depends if you have MA or not and also subterfuge adds more than just damage
Stam? Naw not worth it at all
Not even for a tank i think
i wasnt sure if the bonus for the extra color offset the bad stat
the .15% crit effect or whatever
same
The bonus is quite small, it’s barely even worth running different colored gems
just get it
that's a shame, it's a cool concept
i also wanted the queen ring so i just opened my vault and got it idunno what the big deal is 
took one click
gratz
obviosly im a low item level but is it normal to starve energy in st?
yerp
Yes
ilvl won’t change it, stats won’t change it
Unavoidable
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
sooo it won't feel better in later seasons?
well i haven’t raided really since SL other than wotlk classic and i assumed it was just classic andys being classic andys
nope
RIP
maybe slightly
we dont know that friend,anything could happen
but of a stupid question but if i'm being fucked with my vaults should i just make the 2nd 636 dagger?
i probably try outlaw or sub for s2 anyway
no
but at this point it seems like you don’t like that feeling then you kinda just don’t like assassination
because
offhand is a stat stick
fair enough
energy right now is fake as FUCK compared to pre 11.0.5 energy
so if u dislike it now
You can always run dashing scoundrel
i’m afraid u may be cooked unless blizzard keeps doing this cringe shit which who knows maybe they do

I wonder how much that even gives
a solid amount with ttk
yup
Still wont be swamped with energy
thats a given
have you raided since you posted that kyveza prog pic
it is what it is
which pic
you posted like a 10% wipe or something
we ended the week at 3.8% with uhhhhh 111 pulls ?
Had a tank say that infest isnt a tank swap
nice
And said that "healers can heal past it each time on his kills"
like bro
despair
my RL will snap replace people so we kept slowing prog for new people to learn
He progging lfr?
i did 139 pulls before it died
do most of you guys mythic raid? i've been able to pug 2 bosses on my bear but hard to get groups
He also said how he was doing better than the other tank (despite dying) because his HPS was higher
Like
No shit a BDK HPS is higher than a Brew
Had curve
i think total the guild did 190
99% sure he bought it
mythic pugging is really not fun
but yeah
Everything past like
it's fun except for the lockout and my 5 guildies go on mondays so
boss 2 is just a drag
it's a roll of the dice
cause most people do like
a bad mythic guild will be better than pugging it tbh
first 2 for vault or first 4
find yourself a guild
True
only good thing about pug mondays is people care less about lockout
raiding is 0 fun in pugs
pugging sikran or rash bro why even bother
i have one we're just like 7 people so
just join a myth guild and be an alt
*Burn
easiest little chungus bosses ever
but ye
pugs wipe 30 times and ff
Dude
mythic guilds are doing 4/8 alt runs for a few weeks now
pugs have a hard time killing brood on heroic
i started sikran prog it didnt seem bad
it isn’t
first 4 are all easy
You tell them what egs to pop. Mark them when they come up
and then
very easy
braindead boss fight
They mess it up
it just won’t be easy in a pug
basically identical to heroic
unfortunately
Nothing is easy in pug land
at this point lot of mythic guilds are still reclearing up to silken too
Im in a casual heroic guild and we are reclearing him next week
we have 1 mythic raid night a week atm
And we are up to rashnan atm
Tbf
and then the difficulty spikes at ovinax
ovinax does stuff but once u get used to it ovinax also doesn’t do anything
because u spend the first 50 pulls figuring out weak auras
there’s no execution on ovinax
Btw
i looked it up and didn't see but like
How do i get delvers journy stuff
ok who didnt break egg? oh ur WA broke? spend another 5 pulls fixing it
our goal is just mythic rash by end of season
repeat until everyones fixed and u kill the boss
just do a delve once a week
and youll get 6k towards it
kk
ovinax is such a shit boss to both prog and reclear
i mean
old dal
