I like watching my yellow bar go up and down

dapper cradle
#

but it has nothing to do with energy

subtle tundra
#

oxi im still hungryyyyyyyyyy

dapper cradle
#

they just tuned numbers

subtle tundra
#

im so hungryyyyyyyy

#

oxiiiiiiiiiiiiii

gusty mirage
#

acting like it's "pretty much the same" is kinda silly

subtle tundra
#

i CANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

im so huuuuuuuuuungyyyyyyyy

#

their burst windows give infinite energy for a reason

#

its really simple, if a spec is using abilitys more often, they have less impact

dapper cradle
royal lantern
#

explain me how thats wrong

real pike
#

would we use junkmaestros mega magnet with a more traditional on-use trink, or as our on-use trink with a passive one?

iron vapor
#

No dude, they won't do less during the burst windows, they'll just do more outside the burst windows

royal lantern
#

so outlaw is always doing insane dmg then?

golden loom
#

well if u randomly game assa and sub more energy right now ofc they would do more damage

real pike
#

think Tyran is assuming the change would come with tuning

subtle tundra
dapper cradle
#

they won't do less damage

#

it'll just break even

royal lantern
golden loom
#

ye

iron vapor
#

So relatively the burst would be less significant, but if you can do X damage in 16 seconds with infinite energy then that's what you can do.

subtle tundra
royal lantern
#

like, if they would reduce, lets say mutilate energy cost, they would also reduce mutilate dmg and probably envenom dmg aswell

subtle tundra
#

fuck i helped an outlaw

#

someone beat my ass

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 This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec.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

My sims are actually ok with me being a little heavy on versatility. I’m surprised

agile nest
#

Hey guys, it’s my first patch as rogue and I still trying to get my gameplay polished so I have a few questions (I’m playing assa)

If I’m in a fight with a big pack, should I garrote/rupture all targets or at least x number of targets? I know there’s the rupture buff to agi so my main doubt is about garrote

I saw in a assa vod a weak aura that tracked how many monsters had garrote/rupture on multiple targets, for example: it would show 6/7 garrote, 5/7 rupture, how do I set up that?

In kingsbane window, should I shiv with 8 seconds left of kingsbane, should I use tea at the same time too?

gusty mirage
#

plus stat weights can shift drastically even changing minor shit like enchants/gems, so it's a nightmare to try to keep track of it

golden loom
#

like it even tells you when you run a statweight 😄

spice spire
gusty mirage
#

seeing quake smile is so darn heart warming

gritty laurel
#

don't bother spreading garrote outside of IC and you just need to maintain 5 ruptures for scent and energy gain. better to spend the globals on spattering envenoms and upkeeping CT

storm karma
#

i have a question about haste. is there a soft cap or a certain % we should have? i keep simming for best gems, and the best ends up with some version of haste. but i have 8% haste already and i play mainly m+. should i listen to the sim or go religiously with mast/crit?

but it's actually so gimmicky it's ass

where fuckers just wouldn't move

subtle tundra
#

meow meow

like i joked that the kill would be the pull where blue team weren't ever pulled in first

#

and lo and behold

our kill was when blue team were never pulled in first

Quick question about AoE rotation. When dealing with multiple mobs (e.g., in M+ packs), should I strictly maintain focus on a single primary target, relying on Crimson Tempest to spread Rupture/poisons? Or is it more effective DPS in certain situations (like maybe 3-4 targets?) to manually tab-target and apply Garrote/Rupture to multiple enemies before focusing back on the main target? I know funneling damage into one target has benefits, but I'm wondering if always sticking to one target (except for interrupts) is the absolute rule, or if manual multi-dotting has its place for maximizing overall pack damage. Thanks!

grim jay
#

Crimson tempest doesnt spread anything

#

You mean IC

nova kelp
#

mate, imagine if CT spread your gar/rup

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

Hey, is it okay if I craft a second dagger 675?

nova kelp
real pike
#

I'm actually about to lose my fucking mind over running Floodgate for this trinket

lethal heart
#

upgrade your current dagger to 675 and craft sth else with heroic crest

#

is probably best bet

real pike
#

and no I don't want to hear about how you got a mythic one in your vault

lethal heart
#

without simming tho

#

you should sim ofc

silver escarp
#

Hmmmm, soo it can be worth playing the junk trinket with signet? to use it in lingering darkness?

real pike
#

yes I'm su re

iron vapor
#

Ok, just checking

nova kelp
#

without simming I can GUARANTEE YOU upgrading your main hand to 275 will be a WAY bigger upgrade than upgrading your offhand

#

like

real pike
nova kelp
#

I would bet all my mounts on it

real pike
nova kelp
#

you SHOULD still sim though, but 100000000000000% it is

iron vapor
#

Agree, upgrading the main hand is the single biggest DPS increase you can get

real pike
#

but yea just upgrade MH and then craft something else

iron vapor
#

Always. In all cases.

#

Without exception.

#

Except sometimes when it's not, but this time, it's it.

HAHAHAAHA true

#

Assa is an addicting spec

A class i've never played, obssessed with stabbing, fits me being a scouser really well xD

eventually a day will roll around, and there will be patch notes

all the classes are there, you scroll down

you see priest

I can’t play any other class anymore. played a hunter for 1 season and switched back to rogue within a month. Everything else feels so slow

nova kelp
#

and then.... pvp changes

#

no rogue

livid marlin
#

When I sim, do I spec into Mythic or ST?

nova kelp
#

and you'll go 😦

livid marlin
livid marlin
iron vapor
livid marlin
#

xD

nova kelp
#

sim a dslice or an aoe situation if you're specifically trying to maximise THAT

#

but as a general baseline just do st

silver escarp
#

Hectic add cleave isn't good a sim for that raid?

#

There's a lot of fights with adds in undermine

nova kelp
#

i mean it can be sure

#

but like

#

on most of the fights, even if you're doing cleave, you're likely doing it through spatter

#

so your baseline rotation is just st with spatter on

iron vapor
#

Yeah, but if you're just looking for 'does this dagger or that dagger do more' then ST is an easier sim to run

silver escarp
#

Just stik with CT

#

stix*

nova kelp
#

I'm not sure stix is CT worthy is it?>

iron vapor
#

It'll give you a more noticeable difference too since spatter etc aren't fudging the numbers

#

Oh fair enough

silver escarp
#

(Yes i'm only on hm on him sry i'm a noob)

nova kelp
#

ehhhhhh

#

I'd just play spatter on it

#

I don't think there's any fight in the raid that warrants ct

#

I mean, hey, if you find it fun go for it

silver escarp
#

I usually take the first assa in warcraft logs

#

But i see your point

nova kelp
#

id be surprise if peeps are using CT

silver escarp
#

i'll see without it

nova kelp
#

or more aptly

#

if they are... it's because they're deliberately hitting the bombs to make more pad lol

silver escarp
#

Oh not anymore

#

just checked

#

2 weeks ago they were

#

Even last week

#

iirc

nova kelp
#

last time I rocked ct in raid was on brood, but that was because of singular focus more than anything else lol

silver escarp
#

Fair xD

fresh kelp
#

Pad… on the bombs?

nova kelp
#

and even then it's becaues my raid group was dogshit at not making a billion parasites

fresh kelp
#

those things gotta die

nova kelp
#

not hitting the bombs out of piles

#

hitting the bombs with balls to make more targets

#

as in, doing a mistake, and reaping a benefit

#

the alternative being having basically no adds because balls clean eerything up

silver escarp
#

Perfect fight

nova kelp
#

because you like big balls that clean everything up?

#

neck craft is a common one to show up high for people, I think people often eschew it because "rheeeeeee it's not in our bis list"

#

but like

#

man

#

there's 700 combinations that are like within 0.1-0.01 % difference

#

it's not that big of a deal

livid marlin
#

Shall I go with neck? 🙂

iron vapor
#

I mean... 'BIS' hero track < 675 crafted neck

nova kelp
#

if it fills a solid gap in your current gear set, and there are not a lot of necks that are readily available to you, then it's a good craft

royal lantern
grim jay
nova kelp
#

your best craft early will alwasy be a maxed out dagger, after that, fill gaps

#

well... your best craft early MIGHT be a maxed out one hander, but then this is the wrong channel - and people will throw sticks at you

Can do a shit ton of mechanics in raid which helps with a casual guid
Easy to play
Rlly like the class fantasy
when i switched we needed a hunt in raid

nova kelp
#

fair enough, these are all good reasons

warm vortex
#
  • this season looks like a clusterfuck for melee
nova kelp
#

your raid still has a rogue?

warm vortex
#

Ye

#

Woudln't swap otherwise

nova kelp
#

fuck me, there's like 12 of us in the game and you got 2 of them

#

nice

warm vortex
#

Kek

nova kelp
#

I keep thinking "I would switch to ww if I could"

#

but the truth is... the moment we got some actual patch notes I'd be itching to play rogue anyway

warm vortex
#

Eh tbf with all 3 rogues specs you can do high level content shit

#

So it isn't that big of a deal tb

nova kelp
#

I think I'm just a rogue now, it is what it is

#

I played hunter from launch through to the day they removed traps and I got so mad I never went back

#

my rogue as an alt, and one day I stepped into nighthold and did my first death from above

#

never looked back

warm vortex
#

Lmao

nova kelp
#

I hit that button, and I swear, time slowed down, my rogue said out loud
omae wa mou shindeiru

#

like that actually happened

#

IRL

#

I might have been low on meds

#

idk, doing rookery on boomkin compared to rogue is like

#

night and day lmao

#

i just fucking chill the whole time

nova kelp
#

I feel llike that on ww

versed gulch
#

That was going to be my comment too. That second boss is like I'll have some area denial with a side of area denial.

nova kelp
#

like

#

you just push buttons

#

and stuff happens

#

right away

fleet pagoda
#

trash in rookery got nerfed at least

#

the succ that is

haughty flicker
#

i mean rookery isnt hard, its just fucking annoying as hell

#

as melee

royal lantern
#

that sums up many things tbh

nova kelp
#

the 2nd boss in rook, and the mech garden dude in workshop etc

#

these bosses that are like

versed gulch
#

Give me back my plus 3 melee range talent.

nova kelp
#

oh you think you're in now?

#

bro

#

you gota run for 16 mechanics in a row

#

starting..... now

#

sigh... our monkey arms were so glorious

red schooner
#

i'd like a little bit of uptime

#

please

nova kelp
#

gods my arms were long

red schooner
#

just let me hit the boss a tiny bit

wild horizon
#

I have 18k Mastery and 11k Crit and sim still make me stack more mastery any idea why ?

red schooner
versed gulch
nova kelp
#

this time last expac. my arms were embiggened, I could touch everything

wild horizon
#

Allright, thanks

shell crater
#

Is there actually a cap limit of mastery that I want? I think I have like 26k with potion…. Is that too much?

viscid spear
versed gulch
#

No cap. It's just worth a little less point for point. Trust the robot. Just because it's worth less against itself doesn't mean it's still not the best stat.

shell crater
#

Gotcha

!fuu

#

I really need to get into the habit of simming more

nova kelp
#

idk if this is a hot take
but this VV build - I kinda vibe with it
was having to vanish hard? no
was it annoying to have to do? also no
but is it cool to just have a flow chart like "did you press mut recently?
yes? - press it again
no? - try pressing it 🙂
yes, yes it is cool, and big chillin

balmy condor
#

0.5-0.7%

Especially the last pull because you have the rock monster add doing the floor hazards too

spice spire
nova kelp
#

ok actually though, what IS the real priority when there's the rock dudes and the ball girls?

spice spire
#

Literally just stand center

nova kelp
spice spire
#

Yes

nova kelp
#

I'm trying this next time

#

if I die

spice spire
#

And rock dudes have more health so usually I focus

nova kelp
#

I'm blaming you

#

I won't do anything about it

#

but like

#

I'll say something

spice spire
#

As long as you stand in the center, you won’t die.

balmy condor
spice spire
#

Literally gluck the add

iron vapor
#

Ye, bosh the rock and hope caustic spatter does enough

nova kelp
#

but then you gota avoid taking balls to the face

#

yknow

#

sometimes its better to start at the balls, and move to the big rock thing

woven ruin
#

You had me at "start at the balls"...

thick juniper
#

I love being in the middle of balls

real pike
#

are we feeling eye of kezan > seaforium pacemaker for mythic prog?

severe meadow
#

From slow mode to talking about balls, I love it here

real pike
#

the difference in 5 min sim and 7 min sim is wild

nova kelp
#

you mean like a big shift towards eye?

real pike
#

yeah

nova kelp
#

see the real trick, is you do what ever you can to look like the biggest dick possible in all the first 2 minutes of each attempt early on

real pike
nova kelp
#

that way everyone already KNOWS you're a monster

real pike
viscid spear
nova kelp
#

and even if you FINISH the fight low...

#

y'know

#

they don't notice that

real pike
#

basically I need someone to validate that eye is fine/better so I can stop grinding floodgates xdd

nova kelp
#

here's the thing, the pacemaker makes doing keys feel a lot better

lyric nebula
#

yo guys, is it worth craftig 675 neck atm? its sims as a 2.5% upgrade from the 658 version, what do u reccon?

real pike
#

my focus is 100% raiding

#

I do my 8 10s for gear...for raiding

nova kelp
#

that's my 5 min

fallow canopy
nova kelp
#

using eye

real pike
#

that's interesting

#

wonder why ours are so different

#

your gear is obviously a lot better than mine 😄

nova kelp
#

maybe because I have a lot of base crit?

real pike
#

just happy I have something

nova kelp
#

I'm resting steady right now at 28%

fallow canopy
real pike
#

that is huge

#

very happy

nova kelp
#

we're working on sprocket first instead of stix

real pike
#

and 60 mast lol

nova kelp
#

yeah I'm at 59% mastery

real pike
#

64 now with eye

#

doing my best to bring back the DM burst glory days

nova kelp
#

so that's probably why pacemaker is a bit less for me

#

I picked up the faded champ ring off the rip

#

so like

#

just had loads of crit

real pike
#

ah nice

#

I'm a pedant, I sim every combination of anything

#

new ring? I sim all 4 enchants

#

then each gem one by one

#

every option

#

all manually on gear compare

#

super efficient

nova kelp
#

good god

#

ima be totally honest

#

I just buy 4 gems

#

I randomly pick them by colour alone

#

then I put enchants on my rings

#

eenie meenie moe style

#

I actually wish I was kidding

real pike
#

it's literally not even worth it

nova kelp
#

the stat weighting thing though is like, it becomes all consuming
you spend more time in sims than playing the game

#

just slot that shit, and move on

real pike
#

I quite enjoy the process icl

#

like a little in browser minigame

nova kelp
#

yeah see that list is like

#

that's death to me

sand sigil
#

random q:

ur fighting 7 mob pull m+ hybrid bleed build whatever. every single mob has rupture and garrote. u vanish IC and garrote and rupture. the target u garroted and ruptured obv gets a refresh, does the other 2 go to 2 nearest given that they already all have bleeds? or lowest remaining duration mob gets refreshed if its close but not closest

golden loom
#

isnt IC kinda fully giga random outside of prioing non-bleeding fellas

coral ibex
#

pretty sure yea

sand sigil
#

ok

coral ibex
#

its just random proximity if everything is bleeding already

sand sigil
#

follow up Q

#

better first gcd from stealth 3x garrote or 1x ambush

#

surely one sims 0.01% more than the other

coral ibex
#

garrote if you have DN

quartz trellis
#

Ambush is for the mark iirc

nova kelp
#

DN is the real kicker there

coral ibex
#

faster acceleration into mark consumption

golden loom
#

feels like having mark out as first GCD should be best always, DN lovers might disagree

coral ibex
#

since if you ambush with DN you apply 3 marks but you still have to consume DN to start consuming the marks

real pike
#

you go down to 2 stacks on the first consume

#

no?

coral ibex
#

i'm 100% sure that bug still occurs

golden loom
#

you cant cosume marks yes but you still have DN and a target is marked so u get all those benefits

sand sigil
#

bro what the fuck is dn? im looking for the talent deez nuts and i cannot find it

golden loom
#

darkest night

coral ibex
#

darkest night

nova kelp
#

darkeset night

golden loom
#

capstone

real pike
#

I swear to god I have DsM randomly drop in dungeons sometimes still

#

it happens every time with big momma

golden loom
#

like if you are going into a fresh pack then ambush is always the best

coral ibex
#

yea shits buggy af

#

m+ bosses that rp phase out and dont die

#

eat ur mark/dn

golden loom
#

but if you are going into a pack and you have darkest night from the previous, then it gets interesting

coral ibex
#

every time

nova kelp
#

basic gist is you don't want to be in a situation where you end up worried so much about getting bleeds out that you forget to apply a deathstalkers mark to something

sand sigil
#

ohhhhh ok ok ok so going into first pull of the dungeon, u ambush for mark insta, but if ur going into new pack w darkest night, u just get ur bleeds out then apply the mark with env

real pike
#

basically yeah

golden loom
#

yeah something like that

spice spire
#

Yes

sand sigil
#

ok ok w

#

a lot more minmax than years ago

#

still havent run a dungeon yet

#

working on the ui

golden loom
#

but even if you have the proc before that, just marking something is still good I think

quartz trellis
golden loom
#

cause you get singular focus + the auto attack damage from having a target marked

nova kelp
#

we believe in you king - go teach casual a lesson

coral ibex
#

yea it can be useful to ambush to apply a mark if for some reason ur DN buff is very low on duration and you might not get to consume it before spreading bleeds

spice spire
#

James has never snoozed a day in his life. Especially never playing the high octane spec of assassination rogue

fallow canopy
#

apm kings/queens rise

royal lantern
nova kelp
#

yeah
fucking up and not getting a ds mark on something because you missed your DN window...

#

that will kill you

the move here would just to catalyse the hands right? since it would make me ablle to play sub and assa. and I can free up a chestslot if I take 4-set on hands. 🙂

I was doing it to prove a point

someone was trying to tell me that the target switch isn't that bad

me and 2 dh mates were just hitting that shit up back to back, doing absolutely nonsense pulls

#

we probably caused the deaths of like 60 healers a day from the pug crew

all having aneurysms and heart attacks trying to keep up

#

in the end we got our weapons in back to back runs outa nowhere

and I never touched that fucking dungeon again

royal lantern
nova kelp
#

I did in s4 lol

royal lantern
#

and i did it the entire tier on normal+hc for the drop

nova kelp
#

and then you got one and found out that 2 was twice as good

#

FUCK

sand sigil
#

is there any rule about like reapply deathmark btw where u land on 6cps but u need 7 to envenom? do u just overcap a mutilate orrr like refresh a garrote outside of pandemic? or just like finish on 6 and not reapply it and go next or what?

nova kelp
#

^

golden loom
#

in m+ its a gain even

#

or maybe its more even now with muti buff

nova kelp
#

if you have to overcap, you overcap, you need the maxed out enven

sand sigil
#

its better to fok without the proc for 1 cp than to overcap with a mutilate?

subtle tundra
#

mutilate good

#

fok bad

sand sigil
#

o

#

ok

#

unnoted

subtle tundra
#

some people fok cause it feels better

#

or some gaslighting

#

they tell themselves

the pin says arterial on every fight with adds, so every boss except lockenstock right?
