m+ done for the seasons 😎
!up
same, just need to do the 8 weeklies for vault and i'm chilling
ok and this find the weakness or this fok proc wahtever it is
on ST or no just 3t?
hybrid build not bleed
m+
always use CTW proc unless talented into vicious venoms talent
which you never are in m+
yeah consume the CTW fok proc on ST in keys
Welcome back James, we missed you
LOTS TO CATCH UP ON
congrats on the degree 
Good amount of stats for raid AND what sigil do i have to put on boots guys 🥺🥺
read wowhead guide
Hoy, is there a need to track the buff from evenom ? (which boost poison application)
not really, in raid you have 100% uptime anyways
Aight
They Will probably say what Stat priority I have to follow
thanks, tahts what i thought i have it pretty much all the time and theres not much decision making around it
But not x amount
in M+ single target you still want to refresh envenom in pandemic instead of spamming it since you don't take TTK
why do you think that is
if the guide doesn't tell you what amount of a stat to get
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 This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec.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

bro read the message
that's the neat part: you don't
read
read this
am i getting baited
shh, don't let him know about the secret 38.475% haste breakpoint
gonna get us nerfed
sure
if that's what the sim tells you, then yes
i feel like you're having trouble with the comprehension part of this though
i swear you are just not reading
the message
there is no short answer with get x % of y stat
sim yourself

cause your pc
From my cellphone
discord is a website
who let a boomkin in here ffs
not sure i get what you mean ?
You're being rude without know my Situation AND supposing everything
!pandemic
Pandemic takes up to 30% of the duration of a applied dot/buff and adds it to your new applied one. The duration depends on the new instance.
Example: Garrote (18 sec) can be extended by up to 5.4 seconds from an existing instance.
Note: Pandemic applies to most but not all debuffs/buffs
just means don't spam Envenoms in M+ single target, just wait until the buff is about to drop off (outside your CD windows anyway)
ok
you can, but it's optimal to maximize envenom uptime by not overlapping as much since you aren't running twist the knife
in raid, TTK makes your uptime not a problem
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
isn't this kinda w/e now
if sims aren't pushing for envenom uptime anymore
maybe, i was under the impression that it was still a minor gain for M+ single target
I have a hard time beleiving that wow and discord would be usable on your computer but raidbots.com wouldnt be.
But again, the question youre asking about what percentages of stats you should have is a completely meaningless question and will provide you with literally no value even if you were to get somebody to make up an answer for you
can the pirate from the noggen elixir trinket die to AoE or some shit? I swear sometimes I pop it and he does 0 damage
i'm not sure tbh
there are bugs with how it is attributed in details
sometimes it's not listed as damage coming from you
ah lmao
it's a separate entity that doesn't get logged by details
it can also die yes
it can?
yes
so is this meaning you're just running to 0 energy with mut/envenom spam?
it isn't working on details/logs a lot of the time, but it can also die
idk, i'm definitely not caught up on the most recent pve stuff. just knew i saw that in the pins.
Hey guys, so I'm level 71 now, and I have chosen all deathstalker talents, but I was wondering do I have to add rupture or any other spells to my stealth bar?
fantastic, one less brain cell i need to keep busy
make your stealth bar the same as your nonstealth bar, other than Ambush
what trickz said
ty ty
while fighting packs in M+, is it better to focus the mob taht get the serrated spike ?
to get it back sooner ?
or whatever
Stick to your marked target always
nah just pick the biggest guy and wail on them
ok
Yeah try identify the biggest beefiest mob in each pack and cleave off that
spike is mostly for the initial energy refund to put out big beefy ruptures that you won't have to refresh on the pack
yea, aside grom the double rupture in the opening, it doesnt really matter which mob hass the spike
take ironwire and give up spike. ezpz
same shit
combo points require energy to exist
feels so bad when you ain't got the energy to mut


heyo, has assa been secretly nerfed? i feel so much weaker these last 2 weeks compared to like 3-4 weeks ago
no
😦
no but seriously, ive been playing the exact same, yet dmg is just lower
only talent changes to the bleed build in m+ tomorrow correct :3x
kingsbane is the same
ok so whats going on how come when i rupture i get 7 combopoints back?
Bonespike
i get that i throw a bonespike but that should only be 1cp right?
seal fate when they crit and they cleave
Game rewards you for playing the superior rogue spec
its the serrated bone spike and indiscriminate carnage combo
u guys such a trolls haha
there it is
also basically if u forget to ambush ur like fucked right? its just gg? i mean u get another chance when u vanish but like DO NOT mess that part up ya?
yup
why is everyone coming back to assa the changes cant be that crazy 
subterfuge talent extends the window you can ambush
you can remark with Darkest Night proc
ambush is like jesus, if u forgot him, u will burn in hell
also btw with master assassin are u still just vanishing to make ur kb + dm crit a bunch when u pop cds? for m+ likea 12 mob pull. or is vanish more damage to just efficiently re apply dots in m+ and u dont care about amping the kb
both, i always save 1 charge of vanish for fucking pugs chainpulls with 5% health
I have a question regarding ability sequence in aoe bleed build. Is it correct to shiv straight after i get out garrote, rupture and ct or we get spatter out aswell than shiv or I'm just overthinking it?xD
is there any target count where u just spam ct instead of envenoming? or is it always just maintain ct and then default to spamming envenom if everything already has ruppture
Thank you
Me and my homies
Internal bleeding not worth on Cauldron? Is the Clash enough to make Caustic better?
yep
And it's not even close I bet with how good caustic usually is right?
Did you try to line up any cds? I think 3rd naturally line up with the clash iirc
kb should line up with the first clash
@balmy condor im guessing there's no vod of your rik kill bc of internet cringe right?
legit can't find a single vod of a sin rogue killing it
best I found was warlock pov of a kr guild with a sin rogue
seeing rupture dam in logs
ye exactly
I found out yesterday you can use evasion to dodge the amplifier dropping down
It's good for the first one which is during cds
Hey guys, in Mythic + scenario, do we lost dps changing 2pc+2pc (s1 and s2) to the new 4pc?
losing uptime is bad yes?
it shouldn't
you hold cds
you dont send cds on pull on mythic rik
on pull
you send at like 18 seconds
I was watching Whispyr stream and saw he did that lol so have been copying that. Super nice to evasion the slam on Rik while in CDs
that felt so bad when i was doing it
Why to cleave adds?
is that to line up after intermissions or something
what day was this, the one from like 12 days ago was all like laggy
was the only thing that felt good in that fight for me 
adds + intermission denies you a 2min recast of dm anyway
holdingon pull loses you no casts
like first adds spawns right around when you send 2nd shiv during dm kingsbane
It was like an alt run of normal or something I believe. Not mythic Rik
so that cleave feels really fkin good if the adds are in spatter range
I was just talking about the evasion tech with the slam
that doesn't make sense to me, you'd just be using DM after intermission anyway
risky take for someone in splatter range!
its just for cleaving the adds imo
sending at 0:05 vs 0:18 and 2:18 vs 2:18
you hold it for like 15s or so
maybe 20
you arent missing a cast so sending it so that adds get hit makes sense imo
it's more like 2:30 intermission is too long
I think you can lose a kingsbane right at the end of the fight
but it doesn't seem to matter
I mean you get a 2nd kingsbane before intermission anyways?
yea
all this is for mythic, on hc feel free to send on pull
yea i'm talking for mythic
yeah im talking about mythic
does anyone know if bloodmallet sims are updated for the wednesday patch yet
Yeah they’re talking about mythic
why not hold for the first adds after intermisison as well
it does take some time to get bleeds and envenom back up so I think you kinda hit them
Trinket update is live.
So trinkets reflect
fwiw i basically ignored the adds because my hard swap contribution was basically nothing
Class tuning is not on yet so it’s not
so my add dam was only caustic and fok
we kept wiping to adds and I got swapped out and we still kept wiping 
isn't it worth to bleed them for energy to get more boss dam tho?
Gotta look into that, I'm not sure how the math works out on that. thanks for the info
its also a global not used on spattering
somewhere in this discord there's proof for why a mob needs to live for 8s for a 5+cp rupture to be worth applying
idk where it is i just know the rule
the proof is that rupture lasts much longer than 8 seconds
idk if its useful but doin a lil rupture sniping sometimes feels good
it just feels good bc you see ur energy refill but you dont think about the energy you just threw away to do so
Math != feelcraft tho
and cps, and globals
like if adds are out and you FoK, but dont crit anything and get 1 cp, just doing a lil mouseover rupture before foking again cant be the worst play in the world
also procs bonespike
i do 2p ruptures all the time, especially if they also apply bone spike

damn getting into 12s is slow af
Just double checking, the magnet is our bis trinket now? Or just not as bad?
It’s about equal with seaforium
Cool ty!
Same. Free from both already
HOC from the timewalking, normal but ill take it
im still rocking the trinket from dawnbreaker


myth track :c
you pulled mythic signet and mythic pacemaker in first 3 weeks?
Lucky f*cker
that is actually insane
what can I say
skill diff ig
Actual skill diff
I thought I was cool with my myth track signet but I’ve been humbled here today
i didn't pull a mythic skardyn's all season, i'm expecting the same with signet

Gz fu 
I do it sometimes on big pulls that have gone on way too long to get some energy back when the mob dies. Like a see a mob about to die and throw the last of my energy on a rupture for it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
the proof is that is a rule for sub not assa
Shot me into orange rating 
I don't think I've ever gotten to orange, always been stuck at purple
It’s not worth the damage over an envenom at 8s iirc
Correct
ill have you? touched?
like at the dick
Okay and?
Are people actually running CT on rik? o.0
ive skimmed thru ur vod already
ur not pressing CT on the adds half the time
why even bother running it
holy burned
This isn’t me?
though probably true
It’s random video from the internet
lol
I can understand the thought process of picking up CT but even with for the adds, they don't live enough for it to be actually worth it.
I’ll quick post to w/e country this is
think its a danish guild
It is.
better question is

😄

and of course all the top assa logs are from guilds that let the assa pad with CT on every add spawn
Maybe hes practicing his sub cooldowns in his brain while playing sin
multi-task delux
hmmm actually its less than i expected in the top
Yeah idk the constant WA VO for sub cooldowns were confusing me at first when I watched it
I hate the internet
its a love hate relation.
That's why I play WoW through the mail
Dude asked for a video and I found one, the only one.
just got flamed and told to switch sub, didn't
why play sub, when you can play Dom?
Ah, i'm guessing your playing in a top20 guild. Makes sense.
im not
idk, i went to soak, hard swapped to barrels before intermission
surely
that was your mistake
you admitted sub has better barrel damage
raid leader tunnel vision engaged
If your wiping on barrel damage because your not playing sub then something else has gone wrong.
going for that world-30th barrel kill!
raid leader didnt say anything
will be the kill
it was a warrior
careful or we will end up spending 25 minutes preaching about how you should grief yourself if your RL asks just to be a team player
was more than that
we didnt move boss onto barrels that much for spatter
and your fire mages weren't screaming?
then sub would not have helped
they are just as reliant on proximity as any cleave class
10% of my dmg was on barrels
no because sub just has big burst they can use on the spawns
If your raid leader forces you to swap spec to something your not as good playing, hes not a very bright raidleader.
Why are people so hyperfocused on this one boss though, i still don't understand it lol
Firemages just stay quiet until they get found out on the Africa barrel hardswap that doesn’t die
its their prog point?
hes the boss they are on, I would guess
But this convresation was had earlier as well.
boss 3 in mythic in week 3
that's not the fire mage's job
@balmy condor tldr...bleed or hybrid? Pick for me senpai
Kek
Oh I know
are you doing keys higher or lower than like 12

honestly, fuck blizzard for not being able to balance the specs
boss died
Eventually, still farming priory
bleed
Thanks!
then eventually, hybrid
just started playing worse after every pull guy going "sup suptly sup go sup"
like bruh
damn its almost like balancing every spec for every scenario is impossible
I mean the fire mage is doing the same amount of damage as you on those barrels o0
shadowheart is getting a tuning pass any day now, guys. It's gonna be a must-pick class talent!
we're VERY shit at target swapping

maybe even worst in the game
uhdk is really shit at swapping too
Guys I went sub for a bit and felt dirty...I want you to know that I have come home back to assa. XD
Hitting like a pool noodle between CDs is actual ass
Feral good or bad at swapping. I know nothing about ferals
I don't think its anything wrong with playing sub, if you like it play it. Its the same with assassination. We only discriminate towards outlaw players.
yeah, those guys suck
if only we killed it on this pull...
I think likely bad but probably better than sin
impressive barrel dmg
is ct an angle?
Yo @balmy condor , I had a question about your plater profile, why doesn't it show the CT bleed timing on it ?
might try it next week
nah was just padd if we are being really honest
I track CT on my target with weakauras
sounds like gladiatorlossa ngl
God I suck at keys. Is it supposed be just poison bomb procs? I don’t know why caustic spatter doesn’t do as much
bleeds -> cds -> envenom
but idk I tried it cause adds brickwalled us hard
Thanks mister
your caustic is 75% envenom, 20% kingsbane, 5% poison bomb
the onl;y thing people care about is barrel dmg no?
yeah but it was only CT on the melee barrels that die no matter what
I had good boss damage all things considered
could run out to ct ranged barrels
xd
np, trying to keep the plater debuffs as clean as it goes
You guys are target-swapping?
I like having CT on plater, but thats just me.
well I mainly took it cause spatter seems so fkin inconsitent on rick
yes, I swapprd to snipe DN envenom onto barrels
and ruptured them
I don't see the point in tracking a bleed that has the same duration on all the mobs
8% rupture 
Nah i get it, but i like seeing what mobs has it when the tanks are constantly ass pulling more 😄 Maybe its worth throwing out a CT
GOOD SNIPING
guess how many ruptures that was
if ur a gangster
tbf, it feels as if spatter is somewhat...buggy? on that boss
and envenoms
I mean it's more than 0 ruptures so that's the problem
like i had him stand like right next to 3 barrels, we wipe 30sec later and details said 0 dmg with spatter
bro what am I supposed to say "im going to remain bottom barrel dmg and never swap off the boss"?
I tried standing on barrels bc of the spatter change
I mean you should complain the tanks aren't pulling onto the barrels
log
but the troll spawns bro
they'll just get on the you should be sub bandwagon
them shits spawn spread all over
You’re pretty hard stuck if your RL doesn’t understand how you do damage
my rl didnt say anything
Our RL didn't think it was a good idea either, then i just told him i'll be tunneling the boss from now on. And he never brought it up again.
bro im happy when the tank moves to the next marker without getting a fatal brain shutdown 
i've been getting memed this entire tier about the sub rogue "gapping" me despite lower dmg / parses
idk
my tanks said it's too dangerous to move the boss cause melee could get cleaved by the frontals
i didnt say shit to the tanks, 1 dps out of 14 doesn't matter
meanwhile my casual AOTC guild officers understand that i can't target swap well and they're better off leaving me on boss damage 
ignore the part where you need to get cleaved like 4 times before it kills you
next week
do you have a fire mage? that's another
do you have a warrior? that's another
There are barrels on heroic? I never noticed lol
just dot and run back, extra energy gen and damage. Easy
do you have melee dps? that's like 6 more
they did make warr and enh hardswap to ranged barrels
that's fine
ima just go ct next week
I mean just going through your guild logs, it dosen't seam that he is "gapping" you at any boss.. So unless your hearing voices then something else is going on here.
with buffs should have a good showing
oh we cleared rik already, just appreciating them for seeing that i'm doing what damage i can in aoe situations and not bugging me to do stupid things
im just getting meme'd, idk man
idk why people always say "extra energy generation"
you literally pump energy into stuff that dies in 5 seconds lol, you dont "gain" anything, you lose energy
its just on pull sub bursts hard and sin dmg is backloaded both in cds and raidfight
Uh..
so maybe people think i do no dmg or something despite ending top 5 usually
nothing against my co-rogue btw, wonderful guy
me and him talk strats
Paying for a refund without thinking of the time value of money
So if you burst super high on your opener then end up with 1.5mil dps. That's a god gamer? 😒
Had that stupid trash boss choose me 5 times in a row...was impossible to keep deathstalker up
blame meta
some invisible force says ur spec good ur spec bad
reality doesn't matter
if we're 0.1% apart of 100000% apart
Lose dps instantly with this one weird trick!


Is it putting bleeds on every add manually or does fok enough
id happily trade 1.5m boss dmg for like 750k barrel dmg which is why I swapped and started envenoming barrely boys
you wish you could do that
tbh all things considered my ruptures weren't too bad
i'll keep doing the 1.5m boss damage and position myself to spatter a barrel or two with it
4 ruptures for 6m dam aint the worst
I'm guessing this is an m+ question, you bleed manually until you have enough energy
But i don't understand why everyone has to be able to do 5mil dps to these barrels o_O There are like 15 other dps in your raid as well.
it's pretty fucking bad lmao
you could've just used those cp on envenom and done 2.5mil instead of rupture doing 1.11 mil, including the corrupt the blood, and the bone spike charges
fake
but ya know, SNIPE FOR ENERGY LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ENERGY!!!!!!!!!
the env is padded bc of dn
WORTH!!!!!!!!!!
brother, 1 rupture should be doing more than those combined
lets just say they were to activate spatter :))))))
(im coping to the extreme)
i did 10 ruptures on rikky for 75m damage
I shoved a bottle of snipe up my ass till it ruptured
I find on the barrel boss i just dont have the energy to remain in cleave. I've been ST for it in my guild.
rik ruptures
did u get energy back
That causes an adrenaline rush for sure
what does remain in cleave mean
this scares me
changing to caustic instead of using the othre option
bro's not playing caustic
💀
oh boy
naaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
the barrels are never near the boss
...i mean i understand forgetting to swap, but are you saying that inverting one optional talent is too much effort?
well sometimes they are
we ususally have 1 near boss and 2 in range
we play caustic on cauldron of carnage cause of the damage and those are 1 target in range for 15 seconds every 2 min
that 1 near boss makes spatter worth taking over IB
wait in heroic or mythic?
heroic
you still have enough barrels
it shouldn't matter, barrels have to die either way
internal bleeding is so giga shit
well not really THAT giga shit, but compared to caustic
i must be doing somethingwrong then i'm out of enenrgy and thistle charges real quick when running caustic
how does internal bleeding change that
Speaking of caustic i saw the pin of it with gallywix and didn't really understand it lmao
okay well caustic does not eat your energy 
assa is a slow spec that runs out of energy
yeah
caustic and internal bleeding do nothing for energy
its a buff to caustic range, you now hit mobs that are within melee distance of your main target that are also within 12m of you
That’s why I rupture other targets 🤓
whispyr ruptured his ass with a bottle and proc'd internal bleeding. confirmed whispyr doesn't take spatter
oh no it spattered alright
caustic used to be unusable for bosses like gallywix and bloodbound horror
I'm gonna lose it
I’m just teasing you pookie
i'm gonna hve to compare logs after i do it this week its the one boss that i'm gray on
So they could be out of melee range of the boss but with in 12 of me and still get hit?
no
they have to be within melee of the main target
they just dont have to be within 12m of the center of that target
if you're grey parsing, spatter/IB isn't going to be what changes that
they can be within 12m of you or the main target
at least not on that fight
i have to run to barrels nad back t oboss i think i'm just spending too uch time out of boss range
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
B
C
D
fucking newj bro


my guides have failed the community
Thanks!
90% of it is raid leader saying "SWITCH TO THE ADDS" when it's wasted for sin to do so
common sense
no we just have raid leaders that dont give a fuck about assa design
but they don't understand that
Does Subtrefuge extend duration of MA?
yes
so MA is 18 sec duration?
no
6+6 is 12
tooltip already accounts for the +6
I asked the tanks to get the adds near boss so my caustic hits them...never happened :/
the 12 you see on the tooltip is with subterfuge
lmao
got heroic energy drink, and it sims higher then pacemaker rn 
pls give me more mastery gear blizz
getting weird
i'm still tryign to replace my sad sacbroo
Pacemaker is like .2% better than my sippy drink
spare? im sitting on 26k mastery :S
So I just haven’t bothered lmao
ye its 0,4%
problem is
What encounter are u talkning about ?
!macro
if i use alchemical chaos and it increases crit, priory trinket will trigger crit instead of mastery
last 40 min of the channel has been rik reverb
Lmao
Bro i am Not going to always read 100 Messages. Sometimes i do but still
sap the healer dance cheap shot marked for death kidney blind the healer blades sec tec vanish cheap shot tea kidney
Thanks for that
😂😂😂

Why do I see so many Ricardo posts anyway, are the barrels significantly harder to kill on mythic or something
barrels are the problem in mythic
on fights where pacemaker doesn't quite align with CDs, is it still worth? not really sure how to sim it when its not aligned like this, like stix is in the air and my pacemaker is proccing
they're a problem in heroic, too, if your group sucks. i seent it 
the fight is just click pylons and kill barrels
if boss dam remotely mattered the whole sub vs sin thing wouldn't exist
Well yeah but just hit stuff until it dies lmao
first mythic fight that needs more coordination
and barrels need to be actually kinda focsed
and wow player LOVE to say "eh, somebody else will do it" and dont properly swap
Just do more damage?
what if doing dmg to the right targets mean you do less overall dmg
eyah probably still good
ty
how much proper target dmg is worth bricking overall if your spec is bad at switching
etc
the thing that breaks guild
"yeha but my dmg?????"
brick it all if the boss dies 
i still laugh about out DH getting called out with the words "you did less dmg to barrels this pull then a single holy word chastise"
but a thematic DH player can't see the barrels
with supercharger up we finish on 2 and 4 for DN correct?
These guys speak like Assassination Rogues
you ignore that u have it
5 n 7 still
just see it as passive big dam on normal finishers
okay ty
you can send envenom with 6cp + FI if you notice, but its not that much of a gain
i just dont like mutilating again at 6cp
for DN**
he works in mysterious ways
why is siphoning stiletto my best craft by far? (I already have a max weapon)
No, and below energy not above
Droptimizer doesn’t understand 2 embellish limit
so we don’t have to worry too much about energy
we just try to save energy for KB and death mark windows
Kb, not deathmark
where do we get the puzzling cartel chip from?
ok
i thought it was gally
You don’t
Not an item that exists
oh 😭
what’s your opinion on honey buzzer whispyr
i got pace maker and kezan
pretty solid ?
It’s a trinket that does damage in a world where there’s realistically 7 or 8 better options
Yeh so if you have pacemaker you wear that instead
do you think it’s worth to save shiv for last 8 seconds of KB if you aren’t talented into Lighteight Shiv
That is what the guide says, yes
Oh boy
you should watch is video
You cast it in single target when not talented into vicious venoms
This is again in the guide
of course was just curious

thank you lol
are sin rogues considered "squishy" in M+ ?
Thank you for using WhispyrGPT
yeah that's what Iwas thinking too
there’s a talent that makes feint stronger too
which makes us almost as tanky as deathknights are by default, i feel like
It’s just outside of feint you get exploded
So like a dot for example will push your shit in
yeah the DOTS have been chonking me for sure
we have a low hp pool. for targeted damage you need to press feint for something most other melee live natty
we have super strong cooldowns but outside of those we're like the squishiest melee
i remember siege of boralus last season
its a traumatic memory now
there was so much shit to feint/evasion/cloak
lmao!
latosius shadow bolts on black rook hold +27
feint's on CD, goodbye world
that you just run out at some point unless im dumb
I'm with you on that @hardy crypt
and die unless you have pain sup
and with pain sup you die in 2 ticks
instead of one 😭
Good example is the channel the lightspawns do in priory. If you don't have cloak/vanish you better pop feint and hope your healer can keep you topped
and bcs we have super strong defensives and feint is really strong people act as if we're a second death knight
same with savage mauling
and the spear
idk
evasion with bait and switch 
those lightspawns do hurt
hunters play from ranged, which is more secure by default
i actually do play a hunter too 🙂
i feel like its pointless to compare a melee's survivability to a ranged's
if someone said my hunter was squishy I'd be more understanding lol
We’re tanky in a similar way to mage with v strong active defensives but quite weak passive defensives
But most of the time with proper defensive rotation rogues are pretty tanky.
Feint being off gcd is huge
yeah but i feel like a lot of healers dont understand that, in my experience
Thing is we can outright ignore a lot of mechanics
and think we're super tough to kill at all times
well people are mostly talking about feint with elusiveness
which just isnt the case
so it works on everything
Yeah rogues have been losers of the defensive power creep
i know it does, but it's on a 15s cooldown
They made hunters and shamans a lot tankier
Relatively speaking we got squishier over time
and if you have to feint everything because youre squishy af without it
I’m d say with cheat up you can be kinda greedy with defensives
then you just run out and some point and pray your healer knows that youre ultra squishy without feint
Mostly assa really
Without it you do have to be careful
Sub and outalw are tanky as hell
yeah but thats only thanks to vers i think?
this is how I was explaining it to the healer that said it, I may give you a heart attack from taking DOT or ST damage but I won't die
No
Idk if sub always gets that shield on finisher talent
At least we aren't druids
W/e it’s called
Theres also a 10% shield, a 10% damage reduction, 5% dr and the vers
yeah 😭 ive had a priest who was flaming me for not staying alive with 0 externals
cause everything on the internet says that we're a "durable" class
Ye vers is a major one tbh
The way outlaw felt with like 30% vers
yeah not surprising, hah
Compared to sin was wild
that's a good point re vers
yeah even dungeons as sub during this season
ive played like 4 overall
and felt like a second tank
lmao
compared to usual
and I'm on the high end of sin with 10% vers 👀
tbh I feel relatively durable to big hits but scared of rot damage
that's been my experience too
between evasion dr, feint, cloak and vanish I can normally outplay or tank a big hit or targeted spell
stuff like a bleed on me im powerless beyond health pot and crimson vial
Lock n stalk is the highest simming trinket for me atm O.o

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Bro
Rogue has some of the best defs of any class
Tf you mean "until we are not"
Even if fient was the only Def CD rogues would still be better off than some classes
what
maybe 5 years ago
not since DF
our defensives don't always work as expected. sometimes things you'd think that are AoE aren't DRed as AoE by Feint, or Cloak shenanigans
That’s so cope
rogue is tanky ye, but its far from this unkillable thing
and rogue is VERY shity against rot dmg, which is kinda common
Rot damage makes me crai
plus cloak doesnt work like half of the time on stuff it should work on
Swampface vs the final boss of floodgate is a good example of when rogue feels “great” and “not great”
it does, just probably only the first second of it
frick swampface!!!
reminder that S1 DPS DK had 20% passive magic dr all the time
basically, imagine if you always had elusivness feint active
the fact that bubbles is immediately after that
FRICK BUBBLES!
bubbles is wanted in 12 countrys for warcrimes
Is clear the witnesses worth using in single target?
Cloak is great for bubbles
Just skip him
cloak is quite nice for bubbles
cloak is great for living on 3rd boss too
It is until we get to Tuesday when we run VV
i hate that portion of the dungeon
Still feint is such a neat CD compared to other classes
yes, but
Whats VV?
Vicious venoms
^
^
we're not saying we have weak defensives
it's just we're dead without them
that's the problem
it's outside of defensives thats the issue right
tbh, mage has like 20000 different active deffensives and they work for everything

saying any spec is tanky compared to mage is weird bc mage is the tankiest spec in the game
and a full hp heal
mages have like 10 tho
well "issue" usually it's not a big problem
if rogue had half the options mage had we'd be literally immortal
Ah
what are we dropping to run VV? Bone spikes?
alter time can also do stuff that no other spell in the game can
Thought thats what you meant
saying 20% dr on a 15sec cooldown is weak would be delusional
literally everything is weak compared to mage but yea
ignore mage with a 45sec 10% dr
Honestly the only thing that makes mage defensives weak is that they are on global
s tier spec every season
if only we had some mobility that lets us move during our cast
oh right
blink
barriers + ice block/cold + blink for sure is a defensive
Rogue is S tier every season. In my heart.
mb
i can't remember, but whispyr's recent video on the upcoming changes talked about talent swaps that could be made. could skim through that
their inv gives dr too no?
think so
what are those "casts"
its mage, they always have instant cast procs mate lol
oh yeah thats like 60% dr
ye theirs are better
idk i hate vanish
the fact that its used for iron wire, for master assassin and for defensive
like, i always have to sacrifice two of them
Shadowmeld doesn't proc improved garrote 😦
Meh
I remember some dude deadass saying rogues defs suck
works for Shadowstrike in sub lol
ofc not
yeha cus shadowstrike doesnt do shit
still its crazy
its just for the free full combo points outside of CD's
on priory for example, idk
or dfc
idk
the fact that shadowmeld is still a thing is crazy
nerf greater invis
we stop tacking shit onto vanish
the deffensive creep needs to go back
YES
cause everyone bitches about it and I can't take it anymore
not even more
sorry for bitching about it
madness
come on its so unsatisfying to like give up 20% crit chance during deathmark
to get the mobs silenced
a part of me dies every time i do that
imagine wasting a talent point for it lol
see you get it
oh m+ question
why are shoulders bad now??
do people realistically run blackjack?
idk tricks are nice but
30% dr on mobs
seems crazy
tricks is literally ussules
high end coordinated groups run tricks and that filters down to everyone else
^
but blackjack is very good
i mean vdh's have aggro like 50% of the time
might as well help them out
casual runs tricks to run ahead and pull a pack for his tank
and then people think they need to play tricks
you dont help
is sin rogue just goinna be the best for m+ tuesday or no
ele sham and dev XD
dont be mean :((
I gave thumbnail guy the old tier shoulders as reference
ill cry
out of the rogue specs
🤨
tricks doesnt "help the tank" aggro
the tank using a single aoe ability builds more threat then you do in 10seconds of blasting
