#

idk

#

on CT

warm vortex
#

Big boy

humble verge
#

idk feel like playing the normal build

#

might be more worth to run this in pisslow keys

warm vortex
#

Yea

#

Feel like hbrid is better when it gets higher tbh

#

But yea i feel behind, nearly timed all 12s

zenith elm
#

I'll try the 12s this week and then 13, lets pray i do good 🫡

warm vortex
#

Bbf

#

*Tbf

#

assa is doing better than BM im p sure

#

So if i was plaing assa main id prolly be able to do hihger

#

But thatmight just be cope

golden loom
#

I ruined my page with a 11 top, all others 10

real pike
#

do 10-12 count as 'low' keys? I've been running hybrid in them but wondering if bleed would be better

humble verge
zenith elm
#

until 14

real pike
#

fed up with my guild's ret beating me on overall but that's probably just because I'm bad

zenith elm

#

Get fucking woke

zenith elm
#

So bleed build always better? noted

#

I'll only play bleed then 🙂

balmy condor
#

I mean I’m gonna be real

balmy condor
#

Ye

#

It is better everywhere

zenith elm
real pike
#

bleed seems to be bigger dam at all levels from what I see

balmy condor
#

People play hybrid in giga high keys for boss damage

real pike
#

BUT is the prio damage from hybrid worth the smoler numbers

balmy condor
#

But hybrid does less boss damage

#

So

#

???

zenith elm
#

Really?

real pike
balmy condor
zenith elm
#

more boss dmg and i dont have to think about kingsbane????

#

whuuuut

red schooner
#

I really need to try bleed build one day. I am bad with change.

real pike
zenith elm
#

I have been awoken to the ways of the bleed

balmy condor
#

Blindside and zoldyck are strong

#

Ambush 40% buff is big number

#

Blindside good talent

zenith elm
#

Thank you King @balmy condor for showing the way

red schooner
#

How does it change the rotation for bleed build? I know we CT in ST in bleed build. AoE is it just bleeds up, do some spatter and shiv on cd?

#

I need to try it out

shadow belfry
#

went toe 2 toe with a 666 ilvl 3k io unholy dk i approve of november 2023 build

balmy condor
#

You CT in st, shiv in aoe for the bleed damage, and fok on 3

zenith elm
#

Do we try to shiv after 35 percent? for zoldick?

balmy condor
#

Sure

red schooner

#

Build is huge

zenith elm

balmy condor
zenith elm
#

I'd be embarassed having as much dmg as BDK

rotund oak
#

bro doesnt FS or something

#

balmy condor
#

Unbound combust

warm vortex
rotund oak
#

yeah that looks wrong

zenith elm
#

Damn

#

just HOW

balmy condor
#

Not working

zenith elm
#

Maybe he got not haste

balmy condor
#

Yep

golden loom
#

Stat issue

zenith elm
#

No*

balmy condor
zenith elm
#

He gave it to the BDK, thats kind

warm vortex
#

I mean he had 8 minutes of combust

#

no idea if thats low or not kek

balmy condor
#

My joke didn’t hit

rotund oak
#

8mins doesnt mean they are good busts though

zenith elm
#

depends about the overall time of combat

rotund oak
#

no haste is slower gcs

#

means less casts into bust windows

warm vortex
#

Yknow the massive non elite pack

zenith elm
#

i can bust after

warm vortex
#

before the lutenant

balmy condor
#

What if he just stands there and hard casts pyro

warm vortex
#

He ran up, got agro, shadowmelded and killed the group

#

As we were sitting there

balmy condor
#

Ever thought of that

warm vortex
#

Idk has the fire mage ever thought of playing the fucking game right

#

Also i only just noticed

#

"caaptainblud"

zenith elm
#

Maybe he likes hard busting pyroblast

balmy condor
rotund oak
warm vortex
zenith elm
#

that aint playing

warm vortex
#

agressive squaky noises

#

I mean tbh i'm having to focus more on my rota as BM than assa

vapid sierra
#

I heard assass rotation is easier than ever

warm vortex
#

prolly cause the rota has been burned into my brain

balmy condor
zenith elm
#

And with bleed build

#

its even easier

#

and i love it

rotund oak
#

we hybrid though

warm vortex
#

Bleed is the exact same rota no?

vapid sierra
balmy condor
#

We don’t do that here

zenith elm
warm vortex
#

Also

#

My rats nearly outdpsed him

#

No pooling, just spending.

warm vortex

#

i love assa tbh

warm vortex
#

Imo pretty weak

#

and needs a buff

#

Bear not strong enough

vapid sierra
rotund oak
#

bear is idk,how do we even sspawn it

zenith elm
#

How often do you have Bear ?

rotund oak
#

like 3 BWs

warm vortex
rotund oak
#

or something

balmy condor
#

I love assa too but mostly cause there’s so much talent variance possible, rotation is absolutely brainrot as fuck though

warm vortex
#

Beastial wrath makes it skip 25 sec

#

And kill command reduces it by like 0.5 seconds

rotund oak
#

yup

#

autopillot spec

vapid sierra
warm vortex
#

So the entire gamplay loop of bm rn is trying to cycle through your BWs as fast as you can

zenith elm
warm vortex
#

He is outlaw

vapid sierra
#

14% I think? I’m outlaw geared

warm vortex
#

Im sure its just crit vers gaming

#

Yeas

zenith elm
#

Yeah, thats why as assa you do no dmg

warm vortex
#

But to asnwer you question bel

#

Idk

zenith elm
#

You need at least 18k

warm vortex
#

I just try and get the bear out as much as i can

little tulip
#

38% crit 41% mastery reeee

warm vortex
#

And if the pack is about to die i hold

zenith elm
#

more like 20k/21k

vapid sierra
#

Guy mentioned yesterday stats on sin don’t matter, I assumed ilvl+ agi were the big things

#

That would makes sense

warm vortex
#

so you don't just brainlessly pile on stats

balmy condor

That's what it means i think

I’ll farm the big dps items (neck, trinket,weapon and ring)

It's why PI is insane

warm vortex
#

It's more pet damage

#

Gives less pet damage than the others

#

But i guess it's better than literally nothing because it's still pet damage

#

But not as much pet damage as the other 3

rotund oak
#

pet dmg also scales from wpn dmg

#

aight?

how does spatter work on mugzee? do i need to stand in a specific spot or is it all down to boss position?

zenith elm
#

boss position

warm vortex
zenith elm

he need to be in the middle

warm vortex
#

I'll have to ask

zenith elm
#

is it super tight positioning?

warm vortex
#

Just play fire mage and do that insane double tp

Or at least that’s how it look in raid when I fuck up a mechanic

It doesnt matter much if you auto proc it

#

Most of the value comes from the energy anyway

zenith elm
#

@spice surge how did you do that much sudden demise in your clip btw?

spice surge
#

Thats just what it does

#

When you have deathmark up you have more bleed damage

zenith elm
#

So you deathmark at what? 70 percent/ 50 percent?

#

for end of deathmark sudden demise?

spice surge
#

No

ionic hill

You dont deathmark for demise

but at the end of last season i liked

subtle tundra
#

pulls are way too short in 10s for double vanish, but tanks are too bad to ditch it

but that was for the 16s/17s last season

how do you do your st opener with the bleed build? i guess the start is like normal with ambush (if needed), gar -> build cp with fok/mut -> rupture, but then i would not build to 5 and cast env before using dm + kb, would i just build those 5, use ct and deathmark then? or Dm asap after bleeds up?

dense cove
#

I keep trying to decide if I like bleed or hybrid build, I just can’t decide

royal lantern

its literally the same gameplay wdym

just that 1 presses kingsbane and the other doesnt

#

how about use raid talent in TOP?

royal lantern
#

if you wanna be ussules, sure

dense cove
#

Yeah but they feel different to me for some reason. Not the gameplay in particular. Not sure what it is. Maybe overall damage comparing between the two

snow hamlet

Doesn’t feel like any simple way to compare my performance between the two. I’m 50/50 on which I like.

is there like a haste min requirment for assa ST? sims now shows haste as huge dps increase now got only 4%

royal lantern
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

  • Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
  • Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
golden loom
#

Guess my sim just loves crit

spice surge
#

No PI on the assas, but the top log for warrior is doing like 550M in last phase, top unholy is at 520m and top assa is at like 450m

#

Obviously only public logs

iron vapor
#

Question about sims: dungeon slice, 6 mins - gives me just over 3M DPS. How does that number come about, because factoring in shit (1.1-1.2M) on single target boss fights I'm not getting particularly close to 3M overall.

#

Is the dungeon slice just 6 mins of trash packs? Because if so 3M seems low.

coral ibex
#

its a boss then a big pack then a small pack iirc

iron vapor
#

AHH ok, 3M seems about right then I guess.

spice surge
#

Its ~2 minutes of boss and then it randomly spawns randomly sized waves of adds at random intervals

#

Sometimes it drops combat for a little bit if theres no targets etc

#

@spice surge could I send you 2 mythic fight logs for when you get free?

iron vapor
#

My crit has gone through the roof in the last few weeks, I'm on 38% with only 41% mastery. Even playing death stalker though Sims aren't recommending I switch out gems/etc for more mastery.

golden loom
#

funny thing is that my current ring is 4600 crit 2200 mastery so maybe my sim loves haste..

spice spire
#

It’s also very strange (but not really) in m+ my st is still begging for haste, but in raid spec it’s still going for crit mast

#

I have a decent amount of haste too

golden loom
#

I only ever sim for raid

spice spire
#

I do all 3

#

Only raid one day a week no sense in gearing solely around that

coral ibex
#

wanting haste in m+ seems strange no?

little tulip
#

so are we still running a hybrid build above a 10? im watching the yapp video but it's unclear

coral ibex
#

i thought haste was basically worthless in aoe

little tulip
#

right like we're doing blindside in raid etc

golden loom
#

I only care about 10s in m+ so I just dont really care if my stats are "optimal" or whatever

thanks buddy

amber brook
#

the unupdated wow analyzer is still useful right?

coral ibex
#

its as useful as an out of date analysis tool can be

#

its going to say incorrect things

iron vapor
#

It'll tell you the basics, is rupture/garotte/etc up enough, are you using KB/DM on cooldown, shiv at the right time etc.

#

But it'll also say you missed a load of CTW and that's bad, but it's actually good.

Also, do we cast CT at 5 or 7?

dry cradle
#

Question.. can I just spam garrote and rupture without swapping targets out of stealth to spread it or does that not work without losing dps

golden loom
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.

Preferences currently are boot/wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for

Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" overall, but Blessed Weapon Grip + Dawnthread can be VERY VERY slightly better in m+

Always craft a dagger for at least an offhand. Put Ascencion or Blessed Weapon Grip on it. Additional Crafts should be Boots/Cape/Wrist/Belt for your second embellishment, after that whatever low item level slot is fine, necks can be good crafts.
If you have a myth track weapon in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer

Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:

  • For starters, "Chain pulls" are NOT when the tank pulls a new pack with 1% hp remaining on the previous mobs. That is called "Bad Tanking", and it sucks for everyone in your party.
  • Correct Chain pulls usually happen while the previous pack is still alive and not dangerous. This increases uptime on more targets, which is the biggest increase in DPS for the entire party. This is also the biggest reason why you see high key level players doing so much damage.
  • Garrote is roughly 7-9% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
  • Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
  • Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon, but does allow for holding vanish for large chain pulls which improves the quality of each vanish
  • You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.

Just need to bind the first bullet point to a macro

little tulip
#

without a trace is great for last boss on theatre of pain with iron wire, but also having rupture up on multiple targets makes reapplying caustic spatter easier

Should we be running bleed build on low keys over the hybrid build in like 10-11s? Hybrid Sims higher on DSlice, but I am not convinced.

acoustic roost
#

camp either the left side or ride side and just tag mobs so they get directed to the tank/someone in the middle

But one has sudden demise, where the execute is missing in sims

stray pilot
#

hey all, the advice in here has been a great help but i'm struggling with maintaining energy in a ST boss fight in M+, what are common mistakes that you'd notice in this regard?

subtle kiln
#

not understanding you have no energy for ST fights in m+ build

spice surge
#

You are going to run out energy

#

No matter what you do

stray pilot
#

noted

spice surge
#

Its not a mistake, as long as you keep rupture and garrote up on the boss youre getting all the energy youre supposed to be getting

ionic hill
#

yeah m+ st will have you starving its intended

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

spice surge
#

Which is also why assa has such insane funnel if you can have other mobs around you

static glacier
#

if people complain about your pure st just say tank needs to pull mobs into boss

#

xd

spice surge
#

Since not only do you not have empty globals, you'd also get 20% agi from scent, more combo points from Fok AND singular focus value

static glacier
#

ct dmg too

spice surge
#

Ye CT too

viscid spear
static glacier
#

it's a shame but I think this is what the devs want for sin

spice surge
#

In sims the bis m+ profile does like 1.9-2m on pure ST, but if you do 8 target cleave then the sim does roughly 3.5M priority damage (aka boss damage)

static glacier
#

if more st is all you want play one of the other specs

subtle kiln
#

if you don’t want to run out of energy, play outlaw

shy axle
#

the question i have in my mnd regarding bleed specc, garrote, ct and so on is - do you always try to vanish at like ~ X% mob health in a pack hoping to snipe a instakill from the talent as soon as possible, or is it normal to just have the 5 ruptures and ct active at the end of the (longer) pull

spice surge
#

Which afaik completely dwarfs any other spec in how much value extra mobs provide

static glacier
#

id argue it's bad to vanish for sudden demise

stray pilot
#

ok thanks for all the input and advice!

static glacier
#

if dots already out don't vanish

spice surge
#

Yes you dont vanish for sudden demise

subtle kiln
vestal cliff
#

just had a rogue in my key saying he looses 50% dmg when i chainpull lol

static glacier
spice surge
#

Its definitely not that high

subtle kiln
coral ibex
#

are you chaining or are you dragging 1 mob with 5% hp left to the next pack

spice surge
#

But yes if you pull the next pack while on mob has 2% health left then its not great

#

If you pull the next pack with 3 mobs at 40% left its fantastic for assa

coral ibex
#

good chaining is literally poggers for us

static glacier
#

they either commit a vanish or they're stuck with ct and manually rupturing

#

before being able to spatter

#
  • missing gar
vestal cliff
#

yeah ofc thats bad , it was like - the danger is dead > next pack

spice surge
#

Stealth gives us faster bleed applications, but if you chain well you'll already have bleed on the previous mobs

static glacier
#

if there were like 4-5 mobs alive

spice surge
#

So the stealth isnt necessary

static glacier
#

he would be fine unless he was lazy / had no bleeds out

#

on the mobs that were alive

coral ibex
#

yea idk the rogue was probably complaining more than he should but i also really dont trust tanks that say "nah i chain good trust me"

static glacier
#

best trick I can give to tanks is

#

check if they have vanish

spice surge
#

Obviously it would be nice to get the stealth, but its not worth standing around killing mobs that do nothing for 30s

static glacier
#

if they do chaining is 100% legal

#

if they don't give a restealth

#

guaranteed no complaints

vestal cliff
#

yeah , i main rogue so i think i did it pretty ok

viscid spear
vestal cliff
#

i mean with without a trace its pretty easy to fly through

#

i watch out for our brothers but i still get complains kekw

static glacier
#

tbh with you it takes a lot of chaining for us to run out of vanish and to struggle

shy axle
#

so 5 ruptures and ct is just the standard at the end of a pull?

#

the value from Sd is not mostly garrote? (buffed ones)

coral ibex
#

what is the concern about the end of a pull

static glacier
onyx linden
static glacier
#

personally if I know a pull is gonna go on for ages I over-dot rupture into pandemic

coral ibex
#

i think you're worried too much about maximizing sudden demise

static glacier
#

so I dont have to reapply rupture to spatter DN on dying mobs

coral ibex
#

just keep your 20 scent stacks and CT up

shy axle
#

i just do not know what the standard is

#

thats what i am doing

coral ibex
#

then you're doing the standard

shy axle
#

thats fine then, thank you

coral ibex
static glacier
#

standard start of pull is 5 rups + spread gar

spice surge
viscid spear
static glacier
#

standard end is hard to guarantee

spice surge
#

Note that its 66%, not the full 100%, which means that its typically not worth to game around, as there are other things you could be doing that does more

static glacier
#

at least 1 rup 1 gar and ct

coral ibex
#

yea if you spend time rupturing mobs that are about to die at the end of a pack then you're just wasting cp and energy that could be envenom spattering to kill them faster

onyx linden
# viscid spear Yeah, I never thought to look in the group finder.

Also the potion buffs range from extremely OP to useless. So you might want to fish for the better potion buff, but also doesn't matter too much. You can get all three buffs if you really feel like it, but its strange and when the first buff expires, all the rest do as well. THey have a 5 min cd

coral ibex
#

its ok for the last 3-5 seconds of a pack to not be optimal, we're a prio damage spec that is bad at dealing with low hp shitters

# spice surge No way as of now. Possibly in .5 or .7

.7 would be way too late imo. Then Blizzard can save themselves the trouble, because then there's hardly any point. In my opinion, the crucial point is that you get a BiS item mid-season that you might not otherwise be able to get hold of - because you don't raid mythic, for example, or because everyone wants it or because of bad luck.

Rik Reverb Barrels (and similar spread cleave in raid)

  • Not your problem.
  • Assassination is the worst target swapping spec in the game, and we have no tools available to deal with the situation of priority spread cleave. Caustic can reach sometimes but similar to fire mage, the boss needs to be on top of the adds, causing caustic to often be out of range.
  • If you're truly hellbent on swapping to barrels, hold your nearest darkest night and just slam a darkest night envenom into them and pray. If you're quick enough you can also pool combo points/energy and cast a rupture on a barrel to try and caustic off of them. This still will not do good barrel damage, again, the spec is doomed for it
  • Another possible option would be talenting into Crimson Tempest by untalenting Bone Spike and Doomblade. This CAN TECHNICALLY provide a bit of barrel damage, but the spawns need to be immaculate and any difficult spawns will just result in no barrel damage again.
    With all that, the best advice we have for swapping barrels:
  • Swap to Subtletly.

Fan of Knives as a generator to replace ambush/mutilate:

  • Baseline 3+ targets, -1 if talented into momentum of despair and thrown precision, +1 if talented into vicious venoms, +1 if talented into blindside. (Generally 5 with raid build, 3 with Bleed m+, 2 with Hybrid m+)
    Fan of Knives with Clear the Witnesses Up:
  • Baseline 2+ targets, -1 if lingering darkness is up or you aren't talented into vicious venoms. With Vicious Venoms casting during lingering darkness is dps neutral.
    Fan of Knives with Darkest Night Up:
  • Only on 2+ targets, or without Vicious Venoms talented. This is also a very very minor optimization

The most important to remember is the generator rules, clear the witnesses and darkest night optimizations can be effectively ignored as they are not meaningful DPS improvements
