!ambush
ok
!vanish
Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:
- Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
- Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied
As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.
What do ya'll favor in m+, more ST or more aoe? Or does it depend on key/comp?
it depends on key/comp if you are doing high relevant keys
if you are not you can flip a coin and have fun
i just did some 10s for vault playing sub for the first time in my life

Lets say 12
in a 12 it truly doesnt matter
pick what makes you happy inside
if you feel better saying u do more st
then go ttk or whatever
and vibe

Without a trace feeels best.
SB/MA is way ahead on aoe but way behind on ST. Supercharger/ttk is great ST but I drop IW for it. I like IW
question, on the third pull of the queen i am incredibly slow
what can i do there to counteract that?
in heroic you just step to queen after the pull
is there a talent spec guide? i see so many different builds for assa, and also what do we emballish ?
"As of september 13th" 
Not being fixed over two months later
icy veins and wowhead show different form what people use in leaderboards
Fundamental differences between what the world does vs what the leaderboards do
People at the top of the leaderboard also use different builds because theres a bunch of combinations that are all pretty much the same
should i follow archon build ?
Many different builds. Some more single target, some more aoe. All pretty much the same overall, just don’t drop iron wire
Pretty much all of them are fine
Again, theres very little difference
Most are fine and good
i see alot like use 1 charge vanish, but i feel 2 charge is so much better?
I wish people didn’t just blindly copy ranking builds, while they could be fine, they aren’t doing 30% of dungeon trash onto bosses etc
also some dont use subterfuge, it feels really like its so annoying to spread dots if u dont do it with subterfuge
what's your guys' rules of thumb for energy management during raid single target
dont mutilate under 80 energy, dont envenom under 60 to conserve tea charges
thanks
do you ever prioritize full combo point finisher aside from darkest night or is it generally 5 and up
yeah just finish on 5
did talents get updated recently?
whats your definition of recently
in the grand scheme of things, my entire life time is recent in the history of the world
3 weeks
no
weird okay cool my talents were just hella funky for some reason
for supercharged combo points, do you need to expend those exact combo points or is just the next finisher?
just next finisher
it got reworked to just be next spender
can supercharged cps get munched?
say you shiv > 1 finisher > shiv
and if so, is it worth taking shiv downtime during kb for a global or two to not waste a supercharged finisher
i'm gonna assume yes
for munching that is
but really, how are you not getting 2 finishers in in that time
with forced induction you can finisher at 2 cp, so like that's mut enven, mut enven
it's not really a normal thing
very rarely if i get downtime AND have dn + run outa energy for w/e reason
on ansurek if web blade rng is giga cursed on like one pull a night this happens
inside your cd's?
everything is already cooked, so you can just write it off anyway, cause nothing about what just happened was optimal
we can probably do somehting like spawn a training dummy and shiv it to get 2 extra superchraged in opener
shiv > kb (lets say ur 2 cp now) > mut > mut > env (first supercharger consumed) > you have 3 globals
if you get 1-2 globals of downtime
or have to refresh gar
why 2 muts?
ontop of downtime or energy
remember, this can only ever happen if dn forcees high cps
why is it so tough on Viq'Goth to do dps. can do at the max 600k only. does rogue struggle on that boss or am i just sucking?
ctw?
clear the witness
add in 2-4 globals of downtime for w/e reason and it can rarely happen
if u wanna grief but have more dps switch off the slapper tentacle early
xd
if you are 2 cp after kb, and you mut once, you are atleast at 4 cp, you then have forced induction you are at 7, you can DN without the second mut in your example
ur ignoring the fact that im a monkey
and i need 5 cps
for my brain
to say it's acceptable to finish
yeah i've retrained to finish on 2 cp if my bar is flashing
i need to change luxthos
so it takes into account animacharged finishers
would also be ideal if cp colour change could take into account ddn
it's minorly optimal, but it allows me to not waste cp's getting to DN
feels so wrong to press finishers when cps are red
Conditions are your friend.
lowkey
couldn't the condition for cps being white
just be made in a seperate aura
Lots of downtime, shadowstep the second tentacle for uptime
that says "finish" etc
yes
in the middle of my screen
😳
what would it take for you to upload the conditions to wago
Actually really like the horizontal timers but the bright white theme is wack
yeah there is some relics from the past there, the 80% line in energy is not longer relevant for instance, the one at lower end is for auto tea avoidance
!TotT
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
if we ever have a sin channel meet I'll get you a drink
ha, long way for me to go
and no stress haha
but yeah you could just make all the conditions that change bar colour, set text visibility
there is some extra things in there that just handle the extra stuff for cp's hopefully it's clear
im sure @slate crown could do it in about 5 mins with some simple code, rather than me with my poor manual conditions
I prefer manual conditions to code if the logic is straightforward
Because it keeps it visible
And understandable for others
Code is a last resort
there's enough conditions there that i would have loved to be more comfortable, and just have a toggle output from code
Yeah if it's complicated enough code helps
Especially if you can logically cluster things to infer a status of a trigger that is more than one condition row
for instance, my aura will not account for if DN is not 7 cp
You can use TSU to logically cluster and simplify conditions into much more usable fields in the conditions tab
rather than having like a 9 row nested set of all/any ofs to say a thing
i would have to essentially tripple the conditions, to handle DN at 5/6/7 cps
determine that in a trigger and ush it up to conditions in a "Is Max combo Points?" boolean condition
or something
w/e it is you're trying to do
i wish this was my mage, this is tournament realm gear
oh the one thing it wont account for @static glacier is whether or not you should rupture, if you have a DN ready, it wont change at 5 cp if you're needing to apply rupture, so just a small quirk
i could maybe get my rogue to 635 this week
I wish this was my mage just so I could never play it but get the crest discount on my rogue
wait no, only 634
that's fine
😦
yeah, there's no real way around that without approachign hekili stuff, and i aint about a rotation helper XD
i need to gear my mage but i have no1 to play with
here we can see how memz's combo points wa is better than luxthos
is there any way that details can track garrote interrupts?
maybe CCs done
mage things,u get everything coz u are awesome
do you guys run vers flask in 12+?
oh and I got a heroic weapon too, upgraded from a 567 weapon 
still alch chaos
1st thing to craft is a wpn btw
We'll see about that I don't know what I'll end up doing with the character
MAKING FIRE WORK

you have access to full bis and can't pull higher than a 625 character on live
"work"



Does the opener on Wowhead change when playing subterfuge?
no
How do I min/max crimson tempest in aoe? should i be reapplying CT as my main combo spender in aoe or do i just watch how long i have it applied to my targets and spend combo points on other abilities until CT runs low and then reapply? What's the move to min/max overall damage?
it's a bleed
you maintain it like you would any other bleed
does no instant damage, so no point spamming it or anything like that
it seems to do some upfront burst when you spend it tho
that is the first tick of the bleed
all bleeds tick instantly on application as their first tick
it's a timing thing
normally skills that do upfront dmg and leave a bleed say it on their toolkit
if u hover over the skill u can read
if it does or not

No
I am 621 retail
LOL
On tournament if i pop everything i rocket up to 20mil
only on 5 targets aswell
Frost is boring
i’m only 621
Missing a lot of stats and gems and stuff too
plus fire sucks
idk,i think frost is more interesting rn than fire
there is nothing to fire atm,its just an average spec
Fire feels way more fun but yeah does no damage
frost is literally rng orb spam
giga boring
its mage,even if u go arcane u just press them blasts and send them procs
I think frost is fun.
u cant expect anything complicated with the class
Mage is stinky
like in arakara i run next to the tank,press images,ring and send everything
4-5mil dps
all the time
splinterstorm is poggers,extra tier set dmg is poggers
its so ez
free elo,massive dmg,u tank everything
virtually immortal
press ur alter time,do ur dodging,u will do 13-14s easy peasy japaneasy
varas is gonna play feral
varas is losing his mind by highkey pushing
who wouldn't
fair point
you dont want to know
its so bad man
we had 5x stonevault at some point yesterday
❌ ❌ ❌ ❌
but 17 is doable so not the worst
ring of frost?
yes im not playing IN in high density pack keys
ring is the god play
oh hell nah
u boys have no idea how extreme ring is
you wanna stop everything stcked to blast,u cant have orbs and blizzards hiting nothing
u force the tank to stand on top of it
if the tank is stupid enough to run away from it he is just garbage
hahahahaha
the man is so dedicated to frost that makes me wonder if they are actually brothers with whispyr
he does exactly the same stuff the man does for sin
absolute chad
and he doesnt do silly sims others do
the man is a normal human being with a brain
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Hello, newbie rogue here. It's the first class I really want to invest in.
I have a question that's bothering me and I think I'm doing something wrong.
When doing MM+ dungeons on bosses fights I really struggle with energy management when passed 1 minute in the fight, is it normal? Can I do something to not be at low energy?
(my character armory if that can help: https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-gb/character/eu/ysondre/brüma)
Ok so that's a normal thing? Should I slow down my rotation or should I just auto attack when I have no energy left?
!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
Basically you wanna just keep envenom up and wait til there’s like one second left before you hit it again
Ohhh ok, didn't know that, I was spamming my rotation
why so many rogues play ara in mpluses vs spyglass where you wont get that many stacks. Passive agi also > haste.
Pretty sure Grace + Crystal is way to go for M+
Atleast for me.
Hi ! , French rogue assassination from cataklysm looking for some optimisation dps on firelands. My parse are low, my dps is ok on bosses static, but i'm searching to improve my dps with mouvement. I know my spec is a solo target without any aoe ^^ so i'm glad to hear some advises. Thanks
now i'm looking on wowheads and stuff for basic optimizations
this is a retail wow discord
ok thx
there's probably some relevant posts on elitistjerks
Sometimes I’m not sure this discord is about world of Warcraft at all
THIS IS AN WOW DISCORD !?
how far fatebound is behind in m+?
noticeably
Beats me
does anyone have a weakaura that just shows remaining duration of kingsbane and above it how many stacks its at , kinda like a weakaura i seen casualaddict have
why do you need to see the stacks, sounds like ussules information cus you dont do anything with that tbh
yo guys, i struggle to handle my tea stacks properly since last patch and did not find a good way around it, how do you guys handle this?
macro with shiv and forget it exists
!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
often times my tea just gets auto used in filler rotation where i dont want tu use it
*to
100% minmaxed tea usage VS tea at random times is a ~0,2% difference btw
im just curious because
i catched a moment on kush stream where he said something like "oh, i used my tea accidentally"
so i was assuming he tries to play around it
but might have been hoax
i mean, ye
but it also doesnt really matter
and the big thing is, you always have a charge for kingsbane/kingsbane+DM anyway
cus 1min and stuff
Hello can anyone help me with my log, i'm newbie in raids (MM) xd
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/3hFBabH6WkLzM9gc#fight=34&type=damage-done&source=28
You won’t do well on the overall log with internal bleeding
Your boss damage was ok
Looks to me like you spent too long off the boss during your soak
17 seconds without casting a damaging ability
Carnivorous contest is 6 seconds
i was trapped in web ig
If you play with subterfuge, do you use ambush after stealth breaks in AoE aswell?
And as always, sorry for beeing a noob 😄
Dont apologize
Starting to progress court and heard Mandate could be a good trinket on that Boss doe to the dmg phases, is double on use good or do we stick to Scbrood. (Same ilvl)
Double use, Skardyn during your cd, mandate when DM on cd
On each amp, ofc
Only to apply Mark / Spatter
hey guys abit new to rogues in general is it normal in m+ st we run out of energy quite fast?
yes
keep envenom buff up if you can
how much combo point u reccomend for evenom 4?6?
everyone is in the same boat
i watched alot of guides they didnt tell me about how to maintain st energy
because most guides are focused on either raid st or m+ aoe rotation
i havent tried ST raid is it the same situation?
no
or more laxed?
it has substantially more energy
makes sense
With a random group I get better logs than with my own XD and without PI
ah i see makes sense
ngl assasination and outlaw are 2 dps that i finnal found i enjoyed to play dps
since i usually only play healer
Can you apply several marks?
No just one
only one spatter too
because you get more time to dot and you get the crit from MA
Iron Wire
the iron wire thing is pretty w/e
isnt it mainly for crit/reput dots on everyone?
roger, thanks
you wait!
which talent build do i go with for m+? its different on icy veins and wow head
whichever you prefer
working on something
ok ive been running the icy veins one ill try the wow head one out a bit and see which is more fun thanks
actually kinda interesting cus Outlaw and Assa are almost complete opposites in gameplay tbb
It’s like fire and water
Some people just enjoy rogue overall
I love both specs tbh
I just couldn't get into sub that's it
Sub, I just didn't have the strenght to check into it since SL
I just play resto shaman since legion just wanted to find a dps to enjoy, most classes I had issues except rogues
bruv dealing with deathstalkers mark on mcourt sucks
Some were too easy some too weird but rogue felt nicely in the middle
yes :3
mark sucks
hero talents suck
gg go next
How's the other hero talent haven't tested it yet
sounds like lite outlaw
I would play outlaw if it wasn't for roll the bones, I hate roll the bones so much. Combat spec back when ?
Hey, quick question about Queen Mythic: has anyone run into an issue with cooldown assignments on the first P2 platform? Specifically, I’ve been assigned CDs there, but depending on the intermission push, they don’t come up for the first 15–20 seconds.
How do you handle this?
- Hold CDs and stick to the assignment.
- Use them on cooldown (as I see a lot of logs showing) and just have them come up late for the platform.
- something els completely
We’ve only had about 1.5 nights on the fight, so we’re not fully locked into any strat yet, but this came up last night when we hit P2 for the first time.
Our RL is working off assignments from a RL discord and seems pretty set on sticking to those people for CDs, but I wanted to check if anyone else has dealt with this issue.
pre nerf or recently 😄 ?
if you need to use cds on first plattform you need to hold cds, but just complain about it until your rl assigns plat 2 
im not fully aware but did they not nerf the hp of the adds alittle? 😄
yeah currently my solution would be to go sub to make sure the assigments work but tbh i much rather just complain
Question relating to leveraging Hero Talent Lingering Darkness: as Deathmark is active 16 seconds and Kingsbane 14 seconds, is it more dps to apply kingsbane approx 4 sec after deathmark, so that when deathmark expires and kingsbane is still running for 2 seconds, the 30% nature damage buff buffs the then maxed kingsbane as well - OR, since deathmark will expire before kingsbane maxes out and therefore the duplication of kingsbane falls off too, is it better to sync deathmark and kingbane active times?
Not sure how Duplicated Kingsbane works actually, is it 2 Debuffs on the target or does the one debuff just stack twice as fast? Answer might depend on that. Thx!
kingsbane does not get duplicated, just gets more stacks
Imagine if kings got duplicated
(faster, only)

SO you keep the stacks you built with deathmark even if deathmark runs out ?
assuming for some reason you otherwise wouldnt reach max kingsaben stacks
lets say a situation where you have max kingsbane stacks with deathmark, but without you would only have half ^^
if deathmark expires before kingsabne, do the stacks drop to half at the same time as deathmark wears off or do you just keep the stacks you duplicated with deathmark?
since it doesnt increase the amount of stacks just the speed in which you get them, you'll keep them, but you'll lose the dmg amp from deathmark
but cd window should always be deathmark -> 1 global (shiv if you have 2) -> kingsbane, so it should never run out before kingsbane
so kingsbane does not only build stacks twice as fast but does overall double damage as long as deathmark is active ?
????????????
or let me put it this way
what do you mean with damage amp from deathmark concerning kingsbane
he means nothing
if it affects kingsban only in the way that stacks build twice as fast
cause its not a thing
alright so the only effect deathmark has on kingsbane is building stacks twice as fast?
yes
ty
KB + DM = damage
That’s pretty much it
KB without DM = less damage but still good damage

@slate crown yo LE, sorry if this has been asked before, is there a way to have your envenom wa split into two bars above one another instead of next to one another if TTK is talented?
Guys, why to use fan of knives in ST?
!up
gigolo isnt that demaning
clear the witnesses
due to TTK when not in burst windows do you always wait for last second on envenom
How much ttk bug means in DPS numbers?
TTK bug? With parry?
Yup
Sweet
how much of a dps difference is fatebound to deathstalker?
like is it throwing not playing deathstalker?
In pure ST it's okay
m+ wise?
fatebound kinda bad in m+
10 %
Based on my own sim ofc
- Less defensive hero tree
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/n7tj4DuXkLPBbxG9TcXkZV if you wanna check talents in details
losing the agi buff between pulls is very very impactful too
so its actually much worse
Guys, can the non-targeted targets parry me someway? Or I only have to look at my target?
you also cant play subterfuge-WaT with it
Hey, yesterday someone mentioned recording gameplay with some ability tracker
Can someone tell me what it is or how to get it?
Yeah. The WA is a dynamic group with a bar inside. The dynamic group’s Grow setting determines how the bars are arranged. Change Grow from Custom to up or down
What are some cool toys you guys are using during your rotation? 😄

thanks, I will try that
Always the dark moon fair throw up one
anyone reclearing the first 4 on mythic and have a spot, my casual guil i was doing it with stopped now 😦
I used to push as fate but tbh ds is so much better
You can find people here for that.
Does anybody know if there is a way to see in a log when someone has casted their skardyn trinket? I am looking at a log but I am either blind or it doesn't show
Oh thank you! had no idea I was looking for the name of the trinket
Speed of thot
Love fast thots
i was just kidding XD, but in NA anyway

Better than Skardyn in ST and 5 sec before DM
So you can do the minigame then press DM
ah okay thanks!
GM king
is it important to get the buff before DM ? is it a big dmg loss if i collect it like a second after DM? because of mechanic or something?

Quick question, can we still shadowstep the circle on queen mythic?
Cheers <3
are you still mentally stable?
im sitting here with all 11's timed too scared to attempt 12's
mostly cause i dont wanna stress about it
Yuh
tbf
getting all 10s was so
SO much worse
because it was much earlier in the season
and tanks and healers were dog
Then keep pushing 
im just in the wow waiting room until poe2 on the 6th, who's joining me
True
maybe i could try outlaw or something but my stats are so bad
for outlaw
and i aint touching sub X)
This season has been rough man, you got all the people who can gear to like 620 through delves hiding amongst us
why no sub?
Mehh
used to play it a lot
now i dislike it tbf
Like, being CD dependant was fun but like
Shit not going well with my cooldowns made me mald
I kknow its a 1000% skill issue but still
Moood
I do have a BM im enjoying a lot
so i could try and get that to 3K
imo they sorted that out alot
flag and blades are 1:30s, and symbols is 30s
nice line ups
basically boils down to a sec tec window every 30s and bigger burst every 1:30
and with nimble flurry you dont have to focus on one target like sin, it's low key kinda refreshing, BUT no iron wire which is hella bad
pugs infuriate me when a caster sits out in range
Rogues are good at making bad situations more manageable. Iron wire helps with this a lot, especially when paired with vanish. Like someone accidentally pulls an additional pack, or the healer dies or packs live longer than intended.
Higher you get and the more of the pulls are planned in detail , both less likely those situations are and less likely you are to recover even if you blow resources at them. Which is why you see top tier players in good teams make such decisions.
While in groups where it's more unsure if it'll go smooth, you would instead want to play in such a way that you increase your success chance as much as possible.
Everything is a tool, sims, looking at pros etc etc. Use them in order to form your own base of knowledge and adapt to what is more likely to get you to complete the encounter infront of you.

Guys the Build change ? for mythic plus i just copy from wowhead and it diff i am stealth for longer and i dont know the new playstyle ?
Can u share?
this is what mine does
yellow means missing rupture
i dont track anything about farrote though

Is it normal in mythic plus to be energy starved on the bosses? No issues in any other part of dungeon...just bosses
yes

- 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

!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.
Okay thanks, I'll just try to play more towards envenom
how cooked am i to have to farm badge until gb trinket
hi!! does anyone have any tips on getting kingsbane stacks?! my stacks seem really inconsistant and sometimes it doesnt reach 50 even with deathmark!! D:
make sure you're melee, make sure envnom is applied
keeping envenom buff
i have those two but it still wont reach 50 most of the time ):
outside of deathmark thats normal
close to 50 tho
but if you cant hit 50 in DM window then there is something wrong
do you have 4 poisons applied
i doo i tried to space out mutliate just to prevent it going below 50% and maybe thats why? ive been testing on target dummy and if i just spam buttons it gets there bit easier? i thinkk. its 1min cd thoo so only tried about few times so far..
You shouldnt be not casting during kingsbane
i would just wait just a littleeeee bit before next mutilate
what for?
Thats when you want to use all of your energy
and energy going below 50%
You shouldnt be trying to be above 50%
oh
!pooling
Read About Pooling
TLDR:Maintain max uptime on Envenom
- For Fatebound, Sanguine Blades is typically much better than Deathstalker. For this reason, if you can't maintain Envenom uptime anymore, you should build combo points, then reset your energy back to around 70% before maintaining again.
- For Deathstalker, try to stay under 50% as much as possible while maxing out Envenom uptime. Single target builds play Vicious Venoms instead of Sanguine Blades as well.
The reason we do this is to maximize uptimes and use energy more efficiently for Deathstalker marks/cooldowns. Staying under 50% leads to more Envenom casts, which is more Darkest Night Procs. For Fatebound, heads flips contribute damage regardless of if you're flipping or not, so this pressure to keep spending is lessened.
that an old af tag tbh needs to be disabled or updated
x-x
In short : Envenom max uptime and press envenom if > 150 Energy
sooo is it okay if evenom buff drops for a bit when im pooling before kingsbane??
if you need it to yes
but if we are in single target it shouldnt
ttk makes it kinda easy to keep 100% on 1 stack
oh so i had a question about ttk!! it seems a bittt easier to maintain it but i dont get why :c
it makes envenom last 2 seconds more
would high haste make ttk not worth using it??
at all finisher levels
with ttk, if you can't maintain the 2 stack anymore, u just press envenom on pandemic until pooling enought to be able to maintain 2 stacks again
why would haste change ttk?
Haste change nothing
Kinda okay, if you ignore the VV line
it seemed like some use 10%+ haste or very low haste on m+ and i was wondering if its due to energy regen
haste is negligible
and haste also seems to sim higher?! so i was very confused
(i used to have almost no haste)
like 4% hastee
hastes benefit is dot tick time, but as most of our damage is envenom / spatter kb (which has a flat 2 s tickrate) haste is not so strong atm
All stats are kinda close, so haste can sim higher depending ur current stuff
haste is great for sin, we just cant get a lot of it atm without sacrificing mastery
maybe s3
if kb was hasted, it would probably be bis stat
oh also wouldnt haste help with getting kingsbane stacks?!
It does, but you shouldnt really be focusing on kingsbane stacks
andd energy regen.. i was wondering if there some haste % i should try to get
!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
cant get much haste without losing mastery which is our best stat atm
ohh okay
i get what you're saying there, but that by definition means that haste is not good
which sucks because in M+ our energy regen is shit since our energy regen talents are only for AoE during Boss fights with 0 funnel
probably talking too much meta stuff on stats for people that dont need to know it
Nah hes just making things up about it
yeah so my overalls seemed okay if i get lucky with procs i think.. but single target made me rly sad cuz i watched top rogues vods and theyre doing like 2.5m overall??! and like 1.3 to 1.5m single target on bosses D: been trying to find whats wrong and ive been questioning everything rly
are they funneling?
Do you have an aug
Theyre absolutely not doing 1.5M on singletarget without aug
Not even remotely close
okok
they are not doing 1.5M on ST with an aug
Even with augs
and noo i dont have augss
Its not 1.5 either
the start and end to your question is another question. "are you pulling 30% trash onto your bosses?"
What is funneling? Mobs to get rupture stacks up for more agi?
sin ST is trash period
yep
having 5 targets will increase your ST on the boss
and FoK spam
👍
for envenom 5+ cps
if every boss was funnelable, sin would be ahead of every single class by a mile
i mean having cleave on any boss just straight up adds another dot to your kit
big sad :c
Sin M+ ST. Our raid ST is top 5
i actually swap to raid ST in some 16s on some bosses
like 3rd and last boss of CoT
cuts the fight by a minute literally

Jundies is goated
and just do manual tracking
whats that soz
You can go to buff tracking in plater and set it to manual and only add the stuff you want to see
omfg
you tend to just say words in this channel with no meaning concerningly often
every message you typed about stats is incorrect
please stop 💔
dont gaslight people (including yourself!) into thinking secondaries matter
the shortest and most accurate answer is they simply do not
wait sooooo is haste goood im confused
all 4 stats are good
but agility is significantly better than any of them
I just let the robot worry about all that
Do you just port out and respec?
!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
yup
Was thinking of doing this for last two of NW
spatter ideally
stack vers then

byt iiill add it
spatter on your weakaura wouldnt be ideal in some situations
if you switch targets
and youre just relying on a WA
youd be encouraged to mutilate again instead of fanning and switching back to the existing spatter
not a big deal but

thank you ive added it
i didnt know manual was a thing so thank you everyone for the collective knowledge
going to keep stacking agility

and whatever the robot tells me to do
to understand the complex relationship of all of my my secondary statistics
start progressing Queen mythic now. what specc do you recommend for queen (any pro / cons)
can play both at the same level
so i can spread misinfo in discord for no reason
How about you Bible study the nuts pal
blow up
-every fucking assa channel chatter for 0 reason
is there a website that shows the most popular chosen talents in m+
i tried archon didnt give me what i wanted
i think only archon but popularity stats for something like that isnt the best idea
wow players not known 2 be very smart
running this atm dunno if i should have twist or not
and ive seen a lot of people not take the second vanish which seems mad to me

2nd vanish is kinda whatever, its nice but its not that insane
dude there's like 400 valid talent trees atm just pick talents you like and do the key
im about to do a SOB i dropped iron wire for ttk
hey guys, could you help me out? my boss dmg is bad for some reason.. on packs i usually get good dps but on bosses its way too low.. what is the best rotation
see how it goes
i HAAAAAAAAAVE to use stats to see the most common build
its not possible to think for myself
I’m going to eat ur ass for this bit ngl Oliver
When i'm in my kingsbane window, am I just dumping as many envenoms as possible or am I supposed to just maintain the buff?
im gonna sniff your nuts brotha
In November? Nah
i think technically shiv is what decides whether you mash or maintain
so like in raid thats just the same thing as during kb
but in m+ i would be pretty surprised it if makes any difference anyway so you may as well just mash during the whole thing yes
Ye thats how you end up with people using no iron-wire and elusiveness in their +9 grim batols
ah so if I have shiv up, I mash?
ya
theres a % per talents takes for keys no?
ty
30% more instant dmg on it > bingus uptime
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
don’t switch target from your mark, AA in mark do a ton of damage, use side spells with mouseover, that’s really better once you get used to it
Yo guys, when you enter on a big pack, on how many ennemi are you sprending dot? I think i spend it on too much and i'm losing dps
That's patently untrue. I posted a +8 with a 595 ilvl rogue that had 600io, and got people applying
this is mY narrative
Honestly, fair, my b. I'll let you continue ❤️
Yeah and it’s crumbling pal
does anyone know what's up with logs and details dps? do logs remove xalatath buffs or smth?
i am aware
its still better to have spatter on plates imo
sometimes shit happens dawg
no one fucks with me iguess
listed for 20+ mins no tank no healer
i always looking for mark if anything happens, spatter should always be there
Don't invite anyone until you have a tank or healer apply and leave a dps spot open so if either apply wtih a friend they can bring them along
guys, if u have no mark and only 1 vanish (gb dragon boss), should you vanish to mark the dragon? or vanish for IG during mark and just ambush then
EZZZZ
eh undergeared tank
Now ive hit 3K
gz
who giv a fuq
imma just fuck around and play fatebound in mythic _
Eh you might
but only time will tell
as long as hes tank main its fine ig
Doesn’t even need to be
Had a rat tank with rat healer and did 5s at 590
Bro im not getting invited to fucking 10w
My ass is not a tank main
whats going on
please tell me how bad it is
so i can laugh
Will do
10 ara
Acc might not do fatebound this time
double vanish on ara is good
Is Assassination in the m+ meta?
it was in nearly every mdi run
so no 
By any chance does anyone know if feint mitigates any of the damage during intermission on Princess Ky’veza, specifically regicide?
It does not work on regicide
guys im doing the mage tower as assasination the axes are fucking me up
any tips about that i really cant keep track of those axes
Quick question, can we still shadowstep the circle on queen mythic?
What do we get from this?
recolor of tomb of sag gear
what are some factors that affect Caustic Spatter damage? Mine seems low and I don't understand why I'm so bad at it. Arterial Precision?
Probably casting too much bleeds and not enough envenoms
hmmm I think I do 2 ruptures on the primary for IC
it does with elusiveness which you should be running on kyveza

without elusiveness it does not
to be clear
you dont only play elusiveness because of the cheat execute thing
default feint just doesnt dr regicide at all

anyone have the kingsbane weakaura thatt shows the stacks above it like casualaddicts
Regicide is targeted so feint just does nothing
elusiveness def goated

What is this?
we love targeted spells as a rogue!
im rerolling 2 windwalker fuk dis shit man
9-12 keys on various maps with different weekly affixes
Its warlock time on god

Yee
yea WW isn't great rn but its just bc of tuning
WW damage profile is goated
Ive had some ww pump huge numbers
green rogue
thats tough
Is there a way to track clear the witnesses? Something that indicates that you can still proc it? Is there a time limit to how long you can proc it?
you can just display the buff when u have it
they do?
ctw isnt an rng thing
idk
I havent heard ppl say feral is bad
Ye I know, but afaik I can't find the buff between my buffs
feral isn't meta so i havent heard anything about it
Just not super meta
i dont think ive seen a single feral this szn
simple tracking WA would be enough
i was feral main in df
you always get a ctw proc when you apply marks via DN or ambush
do you really need a tracker

u dont need to track ctw or when it can come up, just use it when it procs, thats it
if u see the proc use it
not really
makes it easier to play brainlessly tho
I mean it's nice to know that I still have to push it, and again, I really dont see it between my buffs
