funnily enough, the vers mastery boots are 2nd best, while haste+mastery is 1st https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/hh7cA5vpf8i6iVBdoPoqQT

u can completely ignore anything that has to do with stats for sin
trust
if u wanna play sub+sin build for sub that cares for vers
and hates haste
basicly irrelevant stat ye
alright vers+mastery it is then
Can Stix's add be used to energy refund?
boots/cloaks/bracers/belts are picked as a craftable since they have the lowest stat allocation
so its seldom a huge deal
and recrafting is pretty cheap
where ST assa buffs???
not needed

can't buff raid st any more
assa good in raid
can't buff m+ st without buffing raid st or large scale talent reworks
we do giga aoe in m+, such is our job
and that's how it is
but
ww monk does more
and people always say "dont nerf, buff the rest"

Buff sub. It stinks
ofc it stinks, you went dumpster diving again raccon man
Not my fault the vault came like that
didnt saw my vault yet, but flmy first vault was a stinker ye
The vault did WHAT
Dagger is equivalent bis raid yes?
dont want to fight with numbers of, but this is correct ? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/sr1dSMXhEiG4xRN7KgHuU1
2k haste 4k versa and its a upgrade
from my crafted neck cri +mast from last season
If the sim says it is then ye, all the secondaries are alright for sin
We don't have a specific secondary we hate, so ye, just fire the SIM off is the only advice I have
Giga is such a good word
should we sim full raid buffs in dungeon slice or no buffs? what do you guys recommend?
Only thing you really care about on daggers is ilvl, the secondaries are super whatever
Bloodlust only typically but it doesn’t really impact any results so who cares
It’s just ++ number really
Which already is meaningless cause it’s dungeonslice
@balmy condor mate scroll up a little bit please, take a look at that aberration o got from delve and its saying its better than my craft crit+mas from last season
its checks out?
or raidbots are tripping
if possible ofc
Yeah secondaries are fake as fuck
Who cares if stat A is worth 11.15 and stat B is worth 11.13 and stat C is worth 11.2
Cause any item that’s +3 ilvl will just have more stats
and you fix the rest with enchant and gems and other piece combos
And so you just don’t give a fuck and yolo it
I have like 7 rings at 658
And 3 necks
And it only ever wants the vers ring and vers neck
And I’m like aight whatever
And then I forgot to equip em
And I also didn’t care
I have another 658 ring that sims 0.3% better but I am not paying for new sockets
Gear in this game is absolute clown shit
You have agility and 4 stats that functionally do the same thing at basically equal value
And then maybe you get a funny item with some bonus magic words
And the bonus magic words say either you get more of the 4 stats or it just does tiny fuckass damage to a dude
And you equip it for the dopamine hit and feel happy for yourself
Tier is kinda the only semi interesting thing thats left and they were so lazy designing 95% of them that it just ends up being one of the 4 stats again
It’s really incredible actually
gimme your necks please
Hello HR? Yeah he demanded I give him neck, he’s probably a sick freak or something

You calling him fat?
Idk why I’m holding onto so much 658 gear that I’m never gonna equip anyway
I’m just gonna replace it with the first thing that 662 regardless of the stats
So what’s even the point
Just copium I guess
massive copium
admit it
were here cause of the stockholm syndrome
im in too deep, its too late for me
latest numbers makes me hopeful that maybe assa wont get the nerf bat
Why would assa get nerfed?
because it was first on the wowhead bar list last reset i guess
Imagine if blizz nerfs assa when 2pc 2pc is at its strongest relative to other specs
Haha anyway, lets buff fire mage thoughts friends?
@balmy condor this has to be signet right? I get to say im locked in as sin forever
honestly if sub didn't use transmitter id happily play it
don't think I've ever been more bored looking at a vault
branch was better than this shit
I was saved from transmitter last weak HoC secured
How u can take the whistle and freak out your groups when a minecart goes across their screen
Thats exciting
The key to not using transmitter is to never equip it in the first place. I refused.
Straight up nah, fuck that
that belt is a MASSIVE 14k DPS increase on my fucking 639 belt...23 ilvls for a 0.7% damage increase
who the fuck came up with the tuning this season
it's actually starting to tilt me
the only items that are upgrades are the hands at myth track or the garbagemancer's trinket, The trinket is a bigger upgrade now but overall its a d-tier trinket.
(trinket is 23k upgrade and Hands 10k)
should i go for the hands since i can Catalist them lateron for my tier bonus
yes
We don’t. We use 658 pvp trinket that’s farmable in 1-2 hours of warchests
so enjoy!
for that massive massive bonus we get going from last seasons 2 piece
I LOVE THIS SEASON
Surely that wax whistle sims way better than sigil of algari
I've just resigned myself to wearing 2 639 pieces for a while.
It'd be nice to replace them but ye, Sims say no
That is quite depressing
just a bit
how do these warchests work?
honestly might do it
Transmitter is perfect in sims. Hits every Sectech on the nose. It’s basically sim bait and the PvP badge is super close to it in sims even vs myth transmitter
honestly though I think the problem is
sub just has really good on pull burst
my guild keep memeing me that our other rogue is gapping me bc they see 4m opener
despite me usually ending higher
it falls off typically, especially with longer fights.
just tell them all rogues are equally mid cosmetic dps and replace you both with 2 WW monks

lol
Well spriest not bad. But missing the ww juice right now. Unluck.
all three specs are basically play what you enjoy. Unironically a good tier for outlaw enjoyers.
sin is cooked tho
also
we dropped 11 places in rankings cause other classes tier sets are actual upgrades
our tier isn't that bad
without some tuning we're going to fall off fucking hard
the reason we dropped is that more mytthic bosses were killed
my brother
we're actually insane for 1st boss
nah. DH needs mythic tier as well
Sin is fine, I ain't raiding rwf, any spec is viable in that context
I finally got my hands on 4p hero track and also replacing a 626 chest with a 650+ one. Still simming ~1% better than before, this is so sad
going from last seasons 2pc to this seasons 4pc full hero should NOT be a dps loss
Or just realize you were blessed with early dps from 2pc both seasons.
agree any spec is viable for non-RWF raiding yes
yo anyone noticed the jojo reference?
but this just feels bad
Ye gear feels scuffed, but it is what it is
highkey
I think we're realistically middle of the pack
whispyr's apl / sims are just ethical
I like sin, I play sin. I am a very simple man
and other classes are doing ungodly things for a bunch of 0.2% increases to inflate simdps
I agree but I am also a simple ape that wants bigger number 
its ok buddy
number smaller make silly man sad
I gained a whole ass 1000 dps going from 644 to 650 with t4, expecting it to be a 3% upgrade or so when I get them to 662
WW was 2.9 milly ptr sims. Doesn’t seem unethical based on performance.
ww is clear outlier
im saying compared to like
midpack stuff
warrior, good ones, are performing.
I'm still beating our raids ww monk ST somehow
Idk what he's doing
realistically same kinda level if not weaker
No one plays that spec
is 4p good or should i still be 2p 2p
Does Stix's adds allow us to energy refund?
no one plays our spec either xd
no one plays our class
The answer will shock you
built diffy than druids
I'm too used to rogue to leave
I'm fucking trapped
we might break 2m dps this week if lucky
ye rogue is all I've raided with since Wrath
it's my lifen ow
sim-wise it's bleak but idk if it's reasonable to expect buffs
the real disappointment is zero real gameplay changes or talent tuning between seasons. Idgaf what the gear numbers show. But that’s me.
Tier set making some neat mechanical changes would be nice
tbf it took me a while to get used to the shiv change 
Instead of just, you get slightly bigger numbers sometimes
I'd love for baseline IW and arterial in a more accessible position, didn't realise how much I enjoy it on aoe
unlike dm / kb it feels like an actual cd on aoe, not just stats (trink) or st dmg that spatters
the one nice thing when all three specs are mid, you can play what you want and not give a shit about comparing what the other two are doing, which can be a real struggle for some people.
did that anyway tbh, they've almost always been like this
you’re the minority
well, its a DJ boss, all stuff is music themed
and JoJo names are all referencing Music stuff aswell
so it kinda fits for that double referencd
im trying to remember when there was a massive difference between specs
which tierset do we drop ?
killer queen is a bop actually, good song
It’s been specific bosses of late
even then outside of rash and ovinax I don't remember a boss thats a huge difference
recently anyway
back in my day Combat was durable fighty spec, Sin was sneakier poison spec and Sub was pure PvP
and I didn't even mind it
oh you forget the non sub rogues figuring out sub dust timings 
@static glacier if you want a more balant pure jojo reference
antorus, the argus fight achievment for the Glory mount is literally called Stardust Crusaders 
not sure what to pick here, im leaning towards trinket, my current tier setup is 1x myth 3x hc (but im using 2-2)
sims says tier is slight bigger upgrade but its alot easier to obtain in raid
it's deffo seaforium
eye is worse, useless in m+
and short fights
litterally best passive trink
you'll get some legs to catalyst for free
at some point
Hey I’m someone who used to play in wraith and came back for the tww and for the life of me I can not get off the bottom of the damage charts when raiding. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’m parcing super low
Focusing on keeping bleeds ups and hitting cd windows but I just keep struggling. Any tips or things I might be missing. Teppic of black dragon flight
yee thats my thinking too just wanted input so i dont get baited by myself
you simmed with upgrades too?
yee
I dont get it... @balmy condor
if you're stuck on a dps check in raid there might be an argument for legs, even then Id say you take trink for longterm power
its a 5k difference on myth legs > trinket
eye used to be S rated but was nerfed, wowhead jst isnt upgraded
okok
issue is list is for all content
for raid fights in hc and mythic eye is s tier
but for dungeons / fights under like 3m it's c or below
Eye is fight timing dependent
wild to think eye is only going to get worse over time
with the raid buff and nerfs to fights
Oi yall know if floodgates trinket is decent or good for m+?
I got hc eye from week 1 vault, still using ovinax egg for keys though
it's bis for dungeons imo
Pacemaker? It's good
ok ty
Did you just read Eye of kezan and nothing else? 
Nicu ty wasn't fully sure x)
We don’t read in this discord. 
easy, just spec sub
ngl i don't think its looking that much better for them either
my sub sim is like 100k dps ahead of assa sim
We don’t read~~ in this discord~~. 
esp with new 4 set
do you actually do 100k more though?
I tried to see my "picture" with a new eye, and I think I get it now... So EoK has been nerfed, so no more S-Tier AT ALL, and EoK is now B-Tier because still kind of a A-Tier for raid content and C-Tier for M+, is that right?
I mean just sim it
Well its quickly getting worse for heroic raid cause its bad in short fights
And useless in m+
Bis lists are meaningless tbh
that's something different. I just wanted to understand what is meant on Wowhead guide
Well just simming it misses the point
How so?
Cause you are simming a static 5 min fight
No?
It doesnt show how the value of the trinket changes with time
You can sim different times
Like week 1 eye of kezan is better than week 5
So long as I have to use transmitter in the middle of subs convoluted opener
Just take the length of what the fight would be and sim it then
I swear the sim is fake
Okay but its still missing the point kinda
like really?
I mean how so? It’s worse in short fights, so just sim it on what you expect the fight length to be
Thing is you could argue that eye is best for the situations where it really matters
Not sure if I should pick the BiS Belt (I have it Heroic) or the Crit/Mastery Ring...
It’s a joke, reflecting our inability to execute gameplay as well as the sim, sub has v tight timers on opener to fit 3rd sectec in dmg windows
Myth bis ring
just get HoC, easy
HoC?
Well in that case you wont have myth track eye where it really matters so just get myth track pacemaker 
i have it in my vault, very tempted to pick it
I’d say give it to other rogue if it drops anyway
house of cards trinket
I get to go home in 1 hour 30 and check my vault
Oh lmao j forgot
Idk how good HoC is on Bm tbh
When we run a cooldown we have a 2 min one
Well, BiS ring is the rare from Gallywix xD
And in M+ we don’t run cooldowns atm
How many rings can you equip
And how likely are you to get said gallywix ring
i think priory is just better on BM
I mean for my sims atm
Sus drink + pace simmed higher
Idk if sim counts extra priory stats
Being in a priory group with 4x the extra buff feels like it might juice it above HoC
it doesnt
cus those extra stats are less then a Gem
absolutely neglectable
How close are sin and sub ST in raid? Seems like it’s not much of a difference but I could be wrong. If I’m decent at Sin already, is it worth trying to learn sub?
energy drink+pacemaker
just like irl
I believe Warcraft logs will give you an accurate answer
Hahahaha omg yes
St they’re pretty close, issue is in aoe some fights fit subs timer better
Literal Bis American
“Idk what my doctor says I’m having my docta pepper”
Also tyran
Proof that BM rn is a big bear man spec
damn, 662 + 658 still 2k behind 2x old 2p 639
Yea pins say
665+665 still behind 
God insane how much they butchered assassination tier this season 
you need a 4th rat called Nibbles or Cracker
Right?!
what is the consensus on assass vs sub for pushing M+?
assa more aoe dmg, sub more boss dmg
My rats are just called
Cheese, chip, biscuit and sugar
Sadly you don’t see much of biscuit
Because she never pops out as at most I’ll have the other 3
Iirc sugar is my luster, cheese is the goober who is out otherwise, and chip is on the sideline
Literally
Yoyo royal how is MHW
great
weird and depressing
100%ed it :3
Damn already
What a gamer
Oh did it a week ago
Tbh I wish they treated each class set with respect
Like BMs is insane, priests seems insane, pallies seem insane
Now I game when friends hmu
Back to wow or still replaying MHW
Replaying mhw. Wondering if I'll return to wow actually
I wonder what happened during ptr so that our set came out like that
Wasn’t it worse in PTR XD
Sorry let me rephrase it:
- wondering if I'll ever return *
:(
I’ll miss the GoaT

we got the probably biggest 4th boss wall in wow history, followed by the easiest endboss with xavius
they just didnt test shit at all
I'll just blame @spice spire
I mean isn’t it more like abberus than ED difficulty wise
Always blame him when in doubt
Was it stix or 1 armed the hard one?
Stix, sprocket,mugzee
All harder than happy
*gally
They changed the bosses a bunch from testing to live
I love the flavour that the boss’ bodyguard is harder than the boss itself
Yea
I still love the raid
Minus stix
Tbh this patch is incredible
The flavour, the dungeon, the new raid, even the delve
I'm liking stix (on hc), I love caustic spatter going insane
Tunnel boss, get some of the highest add damage
Tunnel funnel
Pog
Get praised by the RL for actually killing adds when I did nothing
Tbh
But single target boss
lmaoo
Feels good
I never realised how much I’d miss the ease of going from pure ST to cleave
With the flick of a choice node
bro, you make 2 trees for bm, 1called pure st and 1 called Raid Cleave
and swap bettwen them 
Yea but I lose a lot of DPS when swapping compared to assas
Which loses like
A tiny bit
Going from IB to CS
But tbh the raid this tier seems p good anyway
So far the only boss in hero that isn’t too good for that sorta talent change is stix
house of cards is so much better than signet of priory?
I don’t know how needed cleave is on one armed
Sim
Very similar
the dagger is a little better in sims
but trinket maybe
wont appear again
the difference is 80.9%
0.9&
xd
On Gally. Does the caustic spatter cleave on to the adds that spwn with the bombs, if you are targeting gally himself?
are both maxed out in the sim?
do you have priory trinket
i have priory trinket yes
Ehhhhh
The rent on a house of cards
well, if you wanna play sub i gues
Must be p cheap to live in
but for assa priory and HoC are the same
So it seems quite efficient
I'll take HoC for you thanks
Appreciate it
It's looking like I'm playing Skardyn's for a couple of weeks more

Tbh grace is probably still ok
it's hero track, never got a myth one
But still, it works
Lmao rip
It just feels bad i'm always late in terms of getting new trinkets
Exactly
Also any dungeons that feel good on Assa?
Only done one single rookery run on week 1
all yet tbh
priory and darkcleft feel good for assa imo, iron wire value is big there
Do people still talk about not running IW due to dps or smth
Yes
But I can imagine on priory especially
ofc they do 
iron woke isnt part of bleedbuild :<
Tbh I swear the entire discord goes from
“IW is invaluable”
To
“IW is a dps loss”
Back n fourth
yes
I like IW I can feel justified in being lazy on interrupts later
Sometimes I just wanna blast okay
And are there any this season you just don’t worry about IW
Cause I remember last season
Just bought you 6 seconds of no cast you're welcome
But for each of you
Do you guys do IW atm
no and i regret each time
I just run IW in all
I do. Doomblades is meh
motherlode is not that interupt heavy imo
rookery is managable aswell
I'm not fancy enough to have specific loadouts per dungeon
thank god it doesnt compete with doomblade
I either full bleed build or full hybrid depending on mood
Fair
I wonder who the master assassin is
what's the best way to spread garrote/rupture during IC on large pulls? tab targeting doesn't always bring me to the target that doesn't have either
mouseover
Mouse overs?
over what? nameplates?
idk, i just stay on my target and hammer stuff into it and let IC handle it
Ye
fuck I'll have to make yet another attempt to make plater nameplates actually not clump up
Many macros out there to help make it easy
Unless your playing bleed you only rlly need 5 ruppies
its annoying but its free dmg
!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
small min max
it is
Due to how much of your damage is from spattering over all those bozos
But on bleed build when you get that juicy SD final hit
even there you only do 5
well I'm not playing bleed atm
Oh really?
What if I want more SD in order to pad more?
SD my balls
Huh?
Shouldn’t you still take it due to the bleed damage
Ye but when I got dragged in for time walking dungeons, SD was wild
It was good times
oh yeah surely
time walking is always tuning fun
i rememeber timewalking during legion, where you could literally 1hit kill bosses
btw
for the second crafted piece, is there any recommended offpiece or just craft whatever?
Kid named spirit link totem
I crafted my lowest ilvl piece tbh
embelishment slot
you wont replace it
yes ofc
Is assa just OMEGA energy starved?
in m+ yes
!design
Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. As a burst spec our damage is mainly loaded into Deathmark/Shiv and massive Envenoms through stacking multiple nature damage buffs such as Lingering Darkness, Shiv, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and more. This comes with the natural downside of our damage suffering outside of these windows, in part due to the designed lack of energy slowing us down.
Because of this, there is only one minor (0.3%) min-max with energy, which is pooling 3-4 seconds into an upcoming Kingsbane. Ideally this would put you at around 50-60% energy before you enter your Kingsbane, which is more than enough energy alongside thistle tea. Outside of that, spam Envenom and just accept that you will run out of energy. There is nothing you can do to not run out of energy. Playing around Envenom uptime also is not relevant anymore, as Twist the knife allows for two stacks at a time, which reduces wasted uptime dramatically. Without twist the knife, wasting uptime is unavoidable.
In m+ ST ye
What
Holy fuck this is ass to play
m+ st
Ye, it's ass spec not sub
I don't know what you expected
Depends if you play it wrong or right
Even then you might dislike how it works even when pooling properly
its a spec where Ressources have some meaning
god forbidd we have that
I mean you spend 40% of the time doing nothing
when 30+ other dps specs can slam
Thats amazing
no you dont
Does it have meaning? There's no real playing around it
Pooling is pointless apart from a minor Kb boost
thats nearly GCD capped
Energy is completely pointless other than us sometimes running out
if you spend 40% of your time doing nothing, maybe apply poison and out some bleeds on stuff 
We're either capped to fuck in aoe or starved st
yes, it has, its a dmg gate
"meaning" doesnt always mean "huge gameplay impact"
outlaw has endless energy->its abilitys do lower dmg
assa/sub can run out->they do more dmg with a ability cast
Hey is there anyone who is expert on assassination? I dont how can i do 10% pharse on logs while my dmg / i level should be okey ish
For me meaning would mean a gameplay related impact altering how I play, instead of just hitting the same rotation but sometimes being delayed slightly
are we complaining that we have downtime? i can scroll tiktok while doing m+ ST
what other class lets you do that huh
Like, me being out of energy changes nothing other than a slight delay, so it's meaningless in that respect
A wise man once said “Doing nothing is better than doing anything”
Knowing when to not press buttons as gameplay is actually really good and the game should make better use of it
ATM we barely pool
S3 df hit a sweet spot
I like the pool
With the tier set heavily rewarding pooling
At the moment it's just, yeah, we send buttons the same regardless of energy count, even tea is pointless outside of the 1m mastery boost
I thought everyone played outlaw in df s3 (i was addicted to the gamba)
It's weird design
If anyone could help me it would be nice
Post a log in here and someone can have a look!
I mean, I have time to make dinner in betweenmy globals as assa
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/FrCzfjnJKZHNRmb7 my character is necrotox but i can just post guild log
Warcraft Logs
again, its literally also a dmg balance thing
if you give assa more energy, everything must hit for less dmg cus you use them more often
if sub had more energy, it would need sone bigger work done cus it would get its dance windows back way faster
energy has a purpose outside of raw gameplay and hitting buttons
maybe apply deadly poison
filter hit 
I find it interesting how many more people complain about assa being slow compared to sub, when theyre pretty much the same speed. Like ye sub is fast in cooldowns but way slower than assa outside of em
yep
i never get it tbh
It might be an agree to disagree thing as we have differing opinions as to what something meaningful is when it comes to it. I get your point but ye, for me, it'd need to affect how I play
like, assa and sub a really simmelar in gameplay for some time now
fast cd windows->slow outside of it
Could we get a thread, I'd have a look but I'm on mobile so I'm a little bit limited
Wait, @spice spire is here, he loves a log review
I'm not really fussed about pace, I'm fussed about how it feels to play
Assa right now feels absolutely terrible to me
Warcraft logs on mobile hurts me though
And Tryan being a very humble human being with his suggestion of 'put poisons up' is not helpful nor does that change anything :)
That’s the only way I do log review
it is unironically a thing quiet a few people forget
why energy so low?->did you apply poisons?->oh, forgot
Quite*
When someone making a valid argument has a spelling error so you completely ignore their points:
MTier legs with leech from vaut 
When that same person was the most humble and kept on repeating the most disrespectful comment.. I'll do that yes :)
Well that also just makes you disrespectful aswell

Bro mut hits for nothing anyways 😭
Sin is fast in dm tbh, can’t remember a time I ran out of energy on 2 min cds
Kingsbane can be rough though
i mean, what do you want us too say?
yes, assa energy on m+ bosses runs out bettwen cd windows
energy being able to run out if you dont take all energy talents is done by desing, and you cant take all in m+
at the same time, sub has the same thing but nobody complains about it for some reason
- wow players love to complain about all classes being the same, but then get pissy when 1 (when its actually 2-3) spec out if 30+ dps options has some short windows where its not spamming its generic filler
and if you had energy, you would just do a poopy dmg mutilate mutilate envenom anyway lol
Also idk what dreamworld people live in where specs dont have resources
HAHAHAH I FORGOT TO CHANGE OUT OF OUTLAW LOOT AFTER HELPING MY GUILDIE TRYING TO GET CLEFT NECK
im sad
i didnt touch outlaw
i just looted outlaw
to not get dagger in the dung
and forgor to change
sadge
maybe making a cape might be the idea

well I have crafted so idm but what the fk are these trinkets
If you’d just done 8 10s it would be dagger and chill
Now it’s a tragedy, socket or neck maybe?
wait lowkey neck is good
isnt that the one from mugzee?
The cast bar usually says for what spec you’re opening the vault 😂
heavy mast light haste
ye and I had sikran neck on before
mugzee neck bis
rolling 2 dungeon trinkets and its those 2 though 
Got a bit of feedback from my guild about my damage on Mythic Rik. I did way lower damage on adds than others. How can I improve that?
have your tanks move the boss so you can cleave better
why does my scent of blood disapear even tho i have rupture on the target? Usually notice it on st fights in keys.
That could be it. Anything else besides that? Do we want to switch the Mark on the adds?
hell no
How would you approach the adds then to do a bit more damage. Rupture them?
you hit boss
you play assa
you cleave from boss
and tell them adds are someone elses problem
So its about positioning after all
true im gonna fkin demise all over
this raid does the huge crime of "boss positioning matters on a few Bosses"
and tanks are tanks
aka if there is a mechanic that goes beyond TAUNT AT X STACKS they get a mental overload
relying on tanks for us to parse 
will never get one for the first boss cus our Tanks afk with her in the middle

im never gonna reach the heights of my 0.9% wipe parse so why even try
Your vault was a sacrifice from me
For me*
hope u get something good
I got myth pacemaker

gyatt damn
it only took 2 weeks of content
i got hero house of cards
it was either that or myth wep
but i figure i just get the dagger from rik
that ring is kinda kooki
at 678?
Ye
well it is #2 outisde of prio/hoc
why would it crave haste
my sim favors heavy mast light vers rings 
What tier iteam do we not want as ass?
which means my crit must be giga
Chest
Do you have priory signet
Ahh that’s weird
okey i would have tought head was the odd one out
i think ill be 661 when im done upgrading for the week
and MAYBE 663 if i get mugzee neck
I’ll likely be closer to 658. Still holding onto old tier because guild is slow rolling raid
i got 679 dagger with 444haste/751mast in vault and 679 ring in vault with 5144crit/2684mast. I really have no clue what to pick. I have 675 MH now, but i could put that in OFFhand and take the 679 dagger as main hand. WHen i sim it, the ring turns out to be best upgrade. I use dungeonslice for simming, but it seems you should always aim for masatery over everything. How does that make sense? do you sim in different ways?. Anyway if you any tip on what ot pick i would apprecieate it, so i can start playing some keys 😄 (I Only do M+
sim
TY,. But if you read all my post, you would see that i allready did that
i would sim all upgrades for patchwerk imo
if the dagger upgrade is the biggest one cus you dont have a max ilvl mainhand dagger, grab it sure
!craft
Preferences currently are wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for
Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" in raid, but has ramp time and is worse in m+
2x Dawnthread (wrist/belt) is generally the best in m+ and not far behind of Ascencion/Banding for raids. Equal in single target at 80% uptime
Craft a dagger if you're unlucky and don't get one and are down bad and crying about your pathetic little 580 main hand dagger. Put Ascencion on it
If you have a big dagger in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer
i always go for the ST upgrade since that is what we lack most
but its not about secondarys
for real?
dslice includes a boss Fight fyi
never did much after like, cata/mop lol
people love to overvalue secondsays like crazy
when mainstat Upgrades more or less always win by default
THat is why i simmed with 679 (MAX level) to make sure it dosent matter about mainstats
Well Mainhand weapon is most important, so if you already have a 675 crafted weapon, a max myth track dagger isnt that big of a upgrade
cause its only 3 ilvl and then the small offhand stats
do you mean secondary stats? If that's the case, the sim is the one who values it pretty hard. A couple months ago I did a couple stat sims and AGI wa not top 1 in either AoE ot ST
I simmed for patchwerk now, and results is still to pick ring
the ring is the biggest upgrade in that situation
678
My bad
Mastery and to a lesser extent crit are stronger in aoe relative to st since your energy generation is carried by venemous wounds while the value of energy regen from haste is a lot lower, a higher proportion of your damage is from sources affected by mastery (dots / poisons) than in st too
meh
why does breaking 2-2 set for 3 set increese my dps but getting 4 set is a massive dps downgrade?
im simming 2 myth track tier pieces
Btw, I also got a myth crit/mastery weap this vault, already having a 675 crafted. I got the Jasper ring but only in champ, so I picked up the dagger and just forget for the rest of the patch. 1.6% dps upgrade, very close to ring but higher QL for me
Ring is pretty op
And very rare
ring was 1.3 vs 1.6 dagger
but with dagger I'm done for the rest of the patch
a better ring can potentially drop
later
WHat do you mean about ring is rare and OP? would the the ring where you have more mastery than crit be way better for high keys?
!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
like idk, you are thinking too much about the stats
For me, crit was #1 at the end of last patch in AoE. ANd haste for ST
so yeah the better option is to always sim
honestly

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

Time to delete your rogue and start over
might be outlaw/sub time
i wish there was a way to get rid of the auto tea
its kinda weird there is no class tuning after two weeks , some spec tier sets are so bad that needs to be changed or tuned
Assassination is very diff to play on last bosses - extremely reliant on tank positioning
Tier is very bad
Every class is leapfrogging
im still using 2 2 and thats so bad
Regret taking the mythic signet right now from vault
Maybe should lean into outlaw
Their set piece seems to work
It’s still a significant sample size
it's still early days.
Other classes get 4 sets that actually do something and we get a pathetic 4 second buff
i mean they just randomly decided not to do tuning
Its 10 seconds, the tooltip is just wrong
Question
So they didn't update the tooltip?
Do u usually bench people for 1t boss rekill
All the trinkets just aren’t insane this patch, they’re just fine
Yeah if people missed week 1 we'll shuffle around
It is updated, I update it constantly, there just is no S trinket
S trinket is the bee trinket, purely because I get to ride on a bee
It just be that way
it actually is S tier for law

wtf this is the first time I've ever considered swapping
Purely for the bee
They can’t update tooltips going into the start of a patch because of localization issues idk when they can fix it
The fact that the alchemy stone, which has long been considered trash, is now a decent option for trinkets
Despite not receiving any buffs whatsoever
Should tell you the state of trinkets
Trinkets are balanced amen
Balanced to shit yeah
Just like me fr
is this season tier set really bad ?
2 peices of this season (671 and 658)+ 2 pieces of last season (639)
is simming better than 4 pieces ( 1 671 and 3 658)
They basically quietly nerfed all PvE trinket power across the game by maybe 5-6%
Old 2 piece is really good
And halved the effectiveness of gems and enchants compared to last expansion. While cutting the embellishment power by like 2/3
Odd, to say the least
They really have this boner for overcorrecting “we hate borrowed power” from 8 years ago eh?
Cant have cool items and hero talents at the same time apparently
Can’t wait for infinite stars to come back as a ballsack enchant and for it to be like a 1% gain but have the same rng
God bless

infinite stars... what a thing that was back then
It’s almost as if it was never the actual borrowed power that was the problem, it was always the dogshit acquisition
Infinite stars still fucking kills you
gushing wound
Can’t have either at all. 

Sold a gushing wound for 4.5 million gold 3 days before the announcement of the vendor

One of the minibosses in priory has reflection too
Bruh that shit spooky as hell
Dog I DM’d one last night
(as sub, iirc it doesnt work on dots)
And left it in gods hands
:!
It definitely works on envenom

Medivh flamestriked a bunch of trolls to save stormwind and mages have been op ever since
I cast a darkest night envenom during deathmark on that reflect and saw my life flash before my eyes
Did it smell of mechanic’s grease and monster?
Wait what mini boss is that

I'll watch out next time then lol

but i need my mythic compliance
once i'm down with work its BIKING time
8 10s
i biked to work this morning, and a few of the trees started blossoming already
you could smell it in the air
What did it smell like
Spring time is GOATED
the snow went away really fkin early this year
WE DID IT BOYS
global warming is not real 🤡
MY LONG STRUGGLE IS OVER
global WARMING??? then how come it was so cold and snowy this year?????
checkmate libs

Real
Got all my heroic track gear just need to do my 8 10s from now feelsgood
i kick all who ask for summons regardless
no shot i just got pinged about a 14 day old joke


Real
What a lazy response
Dog?
As some1 whos only pugging (so only HC items and minimal chance at kezan to win in rolls)
Kezan heroic or Myth shoulders?
just sim it, but kezan is really only good in prog mythic
it loses value in m+ and short fights
Oh fuck that then
it'll probably just get worse and worse as the tier goes on
Question, does Signet take into account buffs for secondary stats? Like if my flask buffs my crit to be my highest secondary will Signet buff my crit?
Yes
Okay just wanted to be sure
Should I lower my crit so mastery is always highest or will it still be okay? I actually dunno which would give better dps
Well you can just sim it 
think this tier itll be almost impossible to not get mastery
feels like nothing has crit
im at 23% crit 
Stuff like pacemaker could shift it
But in general ye
fair, ye
sitting at like 18k mastery and 8k crit atm 
I have some pieces that are like crit vers because I took the ilevel upgrade cuz Agi
im at 9668 crit and 22504 mastery 
ye its err
not even close
even if you take out the cyrces buff
just dogshit loot this season, outlaw suffering too
6k haste and 3,3k vers
gl trying to find a vers crit piece lol
I'll eventually replace pieces to even out the stats though
most of the gear will have to be crafted then
theres not a whole lot of crit/mastery items in this season
3k crit, 3k haste, 16k vers, 20k mastery. 
same amount of leech and vers pretty much 😎
18k mastery 11k crit 
make crit great again
I have a friend that is somewhat new to raiding and struggling to grip what he’s doing wrong with assassination, anyone here able to offer some insight? Would be greatly appreciated
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/4vBxb79Nm8CLKtPA?fight=last&type=damage-done&source=19
Idk how much i have stat wise. Percent wise I'm at like 32% crit and 35% mastery. I'm also still using items that need to be replaced
opener is all over the place, have them look at the wowhead guide and hit a dummy for a while
they're using shiv twice in a row and garroting before vanish, its just fundamental stuff you can read the guide to understand
Cool ty
I def need to start looking at logs though lol. I can purple parse easy af but it's never an orange
Probably just like small tweaks rotation wise
its just insane to me, swapping out some stuff in bags and going sub just to sim 200k more on ST 😭

i just said i was gonna sim what do you want from me
jeez
well since you didnt say it, you became the butt of the joke
but pace probably will be your best option
are you blind?
but i think i typed the emote right before you sent it
thats why
its not that deep
well for me it is
