should I be trying to like actively get more ruptures/garrotes out than I would in hybrid? idk if it's worth optimizing for a big SD number over splatter
would it be foolish to replace tiny toxic with SBS in bleed build for QOL? feel like im taking for ever to get my bleeds up, maybe skill issue
not taking sbs in bleed kinda feels not right as it bleed as well
Not really, but you can be way more aggressive about it, rupture for a sudden demise should do more than an envenom technically
I just ditch Kingsbane and take SBS instead
Oh god
Idk what you’re playing but we already take bone spike and we don’t take tiny toxic
:)
Id take Forced Induction for M+
it just feels too good @balmy condor
this one right?
that do be bleed
Not this shit again man 
Imp ambush over tight spenders

is this a bit
this chat is for sure going in circles
I was talking to a brick wall on stream last night and now he’s back with the same stupid take
except dk, pally and prolly hunter
Time for another !richard except for m+ builds
ye but, prio is literally just giga dps
!casual
in the 13 i did i had like 4,2m at the end with hybrid
ye I know 
i assume it matters how big the pull is to some extent?
idk
guys is bleed build viable in my weekly vault keys asking for a friend
!bleedst coming soon ™️
no
Yeh it’s just hard to tell for sure cause it’s so volatile
bleed is terrible
alright thanks I'll tell my friend the bad news
Definitely. Just stack the bleeds and vanish and leech your way back to full
vanish for the demise pop and heal to 10 billion overheal
Did you know that shadowheart doesn’t work with subterfuge
Very good talent
kek time
I love talents that could use a 10x buff and still be bad
Final intent is great at this too
We got another one 
Dead talent and still better than fatebound
That took my brain way too long to figure out.
yeah this was the big thing for me, too stuck in the past thinking kb is sick. Def trying it out
🪙
if we want AP in raid we get rid of ttb right?
huh
you have any logs of decent keys playing bleed?
tiny toxic on Lockenstock, AP on every other fight
been tryna get some but my 15 prioriy got depleted in 15s cause tank scuffed first pull and perma rejection since LOL
that s what i wanted to know
😂 I've got to be the worst assassin rogue I've ever seen. Bout to just call it a day and go back to outlaw. My brain struggles opening with garrotes, like what mechanic am I missing how are we applying death mark if we aren't opening with ambush.
We are opening with ambush
can u do a macro so i use trinket as same time as dm?
in practice i open with garrote a lot in aoe but thats just cause often the mob i wanna ambush isn't in the pull yet
yes
Maybe mobs are dying too fast but I don't feel like I'm getting any value out of caustic spatter with me trying to manage garrote/rupture on so many targets instead of ambushing a target.
/cast deathmark
/use 13
/use 14 gamers
omg ty haha so annyoing too do it 2 things as same time
Okay but you do ambush you gotta get your mark
But improved garrote?
Just make sure that it correlates to what slot the on use is in 
you need to ambush once to get dn
It’s 6 seconds, 12 with subterfuge
(you also technically have 6 seconds to ambush with subterfuge)
Ye
why is my sim spending at 4 combo points in CDs. is this normally?
well technically 5 seconds
no mark is literally trolling
Link the sim
cause if ur first global is something else
Ahhhhhhhhhh so that's why sims show ambush coming out in the 6 second window.
how big is saving tea charges for DM / raw shiv?
last night i accidentally opened on gally with garrote
you run sc
just garrote twice, rupture twice, ambush, mut, ct - send cd's .. even in keys where stuff dies fast you should be chiln - can vanish in there too if youw ant
then pressed vanish and stance delay made me use mut instead of ambush
It has Supercharger
more than once on stix prog that fat fucker parried my opening ambush
oh wtf you play around that? had no idea lmao
I mean just ambush first global, way easier idk
No, you don’t
So let me clarify can I ambush first then spread improved garrotes?
yes
I mean it’s not cooking
It’s just ignoring it
Its just how it evaluates combo points includes supercharged cp
Do those improved garrotes after ambush still spread iron wire? So basically I'm considered stealthed for 6 seconds in general.
Yes
yrs
you can spread iron wire for 12 seconds
yes*
with subterfuge

Whispyr's Afenar Edit
Luxthos's Group
LE's Group
LE's Rogue Collection
Devlin's Group
Ceverion's Plater
Whispyr's Plater
so this is like a limitation of the sim?
you should read whispyr guid on wowhead
No it’s not a limitation it’s just the baseline behavior
there is plenty of info on most questions
Y'all rock... I was struggling so much wrapping my mind around the aoe portion.
I could add logic to make it “not play around supercharger” and force it to go to 5 and go to 7
!carnage
Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required
- The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
- You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets
Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.
It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.
But I would have to force it to do that
WoW says "Cast Shiv before Kingsbane if you have two charges, making sure you always have a charge for the last eight seconds of Kingsbane"
The typical M+ build forgoes the double shiv talent, so in this build do I still cast Shiv before Kingsbane or do I delay it so the Shiv window overlaps the last 8 seconds of Kings?
making sure you always have a charge for the last eight seconds of Kingsbane
delay for last 8s
what build you guys running for keys 10 and under
initial hit is mem in pve
bleed build?
only worth in pvp
Bleed all the way
Any variation from the wowhead one?
Even well past +10 
change ma for iron wire and so far thats it
100% bleed... even if you are a firm KB believer, you wouldn't play it in under 10
is it still a gain to send DN over refreshing rupture?
This just blew my mind 😂 so can literally just open ambush garrote garrote rupture rupture and chill until I get the hang of it. I mean I target swap a lot for lightning rod on my ele 3200 so I'm not foreign to swapping but this assassin was struggling. This will help.
ive got dn for you to send right here
kb just become bad 😦
i'm pretty sure keeping your DN cycling as fast as possible is always best
Promise?
like i cant fully believe our "core" talent become bad
you shouldn't have to drop rupture to refresh DN
just refresh rupture one finisher earlier
to consume ur 3rd mark
that should always be in pandemic
and even if its not in pandemic
but it's not in pandemic, or it is but you drop envenom buff
just refresh it at like 12 seconds whatever
kk
we need rework lol ;x move kb into skills and give us new talent
why would you be refreshing outside pandemic then?
im confused at this question now
i thought you were talking like "refresh pandemic rupture or 7cp DN envenom"
what is that 1mn dm cd
yeah rupture dmg from the extra bleeds is wtvr - you just wanna spread to energy saturation/scent cap - beyond that is kinda wtvr just feel it out ig
I am
its some log splicing thing
yeah the log is cursed
so pandemic on a 5+ cp rupture is like 7 seconds
yea i guess
there's no way it takes 7 seconds to go from consuming DN to refreshing rupture
in AOE
like u can see garrote silence there, he has spliced a dungeon log together with the vexie log
look at the log and what he dealt dmg to
No shot lorrgs STILL has that log
What a dogshit website Jesus
Well yeah
On lorrgs
On warcraftlogs that log got banned legit weeks ago
not a thing afaik
anyone knows why its so fking hard do get into flood +7 lobby its crazy need to wait atleast 30min to get into one wtf is sin so bad?
You just manually edit the log file
But its like, wcl removes those almost instantly
Its just lorrgs that doesnt
No sin actually really really good
im gonna rage fking hell i have 556 ilvl aswell 2k rating almost always top dps fking idiots
Sin is amazing in keys
But people in the top keys are playing mage+boomy+uhdk so its unfeasible to play with anything but those
srry to bother, does anyone have a weak aura group where it also shows rupture/garrote on nearby mobs? ty
okay, maybe I'm just stupid and made a mistake, but within two globals I have to refresh shiv during DM window. at 4 CP, generate to 7, do I send the envenom, or refresh the shiv when at 7 CP and waste the 1 CP gain. I'm assuming send shiv anyway
Hey my doods, you guys know of any good WA's for bleeds? I have some decent visual WA's but ive been looking for something for rupture for example, i just want the WA to play an audio sound when rupture is about to fall off, i cant find anything to cover that and i suck at making WA's
is this a symptom of a problem before? or just sometimes happens?
shiv combo point doesnt matter
so send that shiv when it expires no matter your CP amount?
yes
kk
yeah you want shiv to cover kb
you even shiv at 7cp if it is the right time
also, going into KB windows, how important is it to have envenom buff going into it
very
I heard you want to have envenom buff before pressing KB
correct
why is that?
envenom buffs poison application chance
does it not like dynamically give you the buff>?
kingsbane scales based on poison applications
why wouldn't you want 100% coverage of increased poison application chance, each instance of which increases your kb stack
the faster you get to max kb stacks the more damage it does
damn just played one key on +12 and the bleed does feel nicer
envenom first ensures you dont miss 1-2 globals worth of the buff
so going KB > Enveom is like significantly worse than going Envenom > KB? what if I have no energy, envenom buff just expired, and KB just came off CD?
and its not like you're doing anything else
delay until I can envenom? or just send and be depressed?
just dont have that happen
i would classify this as a misplay as the only relevant pooling use is before a kingsbane
hold your envenom and pool to 150 then send envenom -> kb
No, but you just don't let that happen ever
If KB is off cd, you just press it unless you know timings better
And know that holding won't cause a lost cast
idk, it feels like there are weird times where I have to refresh rupture right before a KB window, so I have to spend all my energy getting a rupture off when I'm already running low, envenom runs out, then I don't have envenom for the KB just came off
where is the mistake though
start watching your energy earlier
just pool energy
You not thinking about it 10s in advance
not seeing 30s into the future tbh
wait a bit
That's the mistake
You should be aware that KB is coming up and see that your Rupture is about to run out
And then playing accordingly
it is inevitable
Ruptures pandemic window is enormous
It gets easier the more you play
the spec spins plates which requires prediction and anticipation
It is massive yeah
Its 10.5 seconds
so should I have just refreshed rupture outside of pandemic? and then pooled before KB, sent the enveom then bang?
eventually we will run out of energy on st
Like you can honestly send a Rupture at like 12s and be chilling
I think people make the mistake of only refreshing rupture at like 5 or 6 seconds
i refresh rupture at 20 seconds
if I see its at 14 seconds and I wanna do stuff
yeah, I think that's probably my issue
I just ruptuyre
You can refresh rupture at 1s, or at 10s
refreshing rupture late
refreshing rupture earlier has largely solved this problem for me yea
The pandemic is so large that even if you do it inside the pandemic, you have 10s left to think about what to do next
And you can surely build up to 5+ cp and use Envenom once in that time
yeah, think it's just me waiting until like below 6s like Sub lmao
and then going oh fuck I can't envenom for KB
Just get good weakauras that glow up when they're in pandemic
i gotta go payphone and just vibe honestly
So you don't have to think about the timings whatsoever
If it glows, press Rup
Very chill
but also, as long as you press envenom then next global kingsbane, u dont really need to do more
all ur kingsbane ramping is autoattacks
so even if ur super energy drained its not the end of the world
Well, not really but yeah
You don't need to pay extra attention
It's fine to reapply GarryD's and Ruppies during KB
I actually have a question about pandemic in general that I don't know the answer to. it's based on the duration of the spell cast, so 5 CP has a smaller pandemic window than 7, yeah?
Yes
It's 30% of the applied duration
So if you apply a 24s Rupture with 5cp
The pandemic is 7.2s
Envenom before KB is in order to maximize poison applications to more quickly ramp up KB damage, yes?
Yes
I don't have to worry about snapshotting a strong garrote or whatever anymore right?
The absolute vast majority of your poison applications for kb are from your melee auto attacks
you can over-write an improved garrote with a standard, don't do that
yeah
There's some rules for it if you play Improved Garrote, but nothing that you need to really think about
Especially because in the raid build you don't even play IG
make sure your weakaura distinguishes between them
yeah, I only play Sin on Mug'zee, so I don't run that
wheres your speed at buddy
lol
am I sending 3min KB before or after cages on Mug'zee
I got a chat GPT ass answer
and a glorp alien saying "idk i just hit buttons" last night
seems like there are gamers here now
and youll get it again if you dont calm the fuck down and put some respect on Chad's name
the answer is unironically hit buttons
copy lorrgs timeline top parse into MRT and turn brain off. smile
I mean if we are talking about mythic mugzee
yes
there arent a lot of ppl with experience here I think 
on mythic mugzee sin is there to do damage for the last 40% of the boss
I think what Varas wrote earlier is probably best to follow
Is this the talent tree to play for high keys?
or do we stick with bleed?
+9's and above
Wait is this a legit thing I can do. I've never done it before but if I can stand on shoulders of giants in this way... that sounds like tech
i mean, yeah but like, what's the play lmao
kind dangerous imo on most fights because your groups dps might be slower than the log you're copying, so certain phases wont line up with the mrt schedule lol
As soon as it comes up
Desynching kb and dm fucks your burst window
take your pick
any answers?
So no need to worry about when you send solo kb
you are holding damage anyway on mugzee
the cds that matter are the ones at the end of the fight
^
are u going into cage?
yes

i am
I plan on velfing it
but i still wanna know if I wanna send before or after lmao
wait well then whats the issue here
just shadowstep into soak last sec velf out
and continue as normal
so start KB before, run into cage and velf out? then continue?
or just hold until after velf
was my question basically
i think it genuinely matters so little you can do whichever one is more comfortable for you
it kinda does matter though, because you push at like 5min on the dot
what logs we do have are basically all using it the instant its off cd
cages end at 3:20
err, you can velf out at 3:20
4:20 for next KB, then it's 20s off for the 5min burn

or you just lose a cast at 4:20
then u would surely send as it comes up
I think it's a send a slightly scuffed one at 3min on the dot
to get the better one at 4
just remember that the lingering darkness envenom does more than the lone KB
so its not that crazy

i don't even know how sin gets lingering darkness 🙂
after deathmark
after deathmark
after DM?
u have 30 seconds of lingering
that 30s window of envenoms is more dam than the KB?
the single dry shiv envenom at the end is more dam than kb
no but shiving for a darkest night during lingering is
Got 33mil envenom on vex dmg amp 
kb without dm is kind of ass
wait, you're telling me you like cycle a natty shiv at like 40s?
(if it doesnt line up though which can happen rarely, then u save it and shiv twice for KB)
so you use shiv there instead of start of solo kbs
hmmmm
and then you get dopamine
think I'm just gonna do the old faithful and shiv 2x every KB lmao
i am not comfortable enough on this spec
lmao
yeah I mean its a minmax for sure
bro why can't you do hero talent and multiple spec load in WA's btw
Completely fine tbh
its not a huge difference ye
and if kb would spatter adds when the dn envenom wouldnt it could even be better to use shiv for kb
Some fights if the kb shivs align better with aoe ill prefer avoiding the dry shiv
Minmax
think on Mug'zee it's probably better to 2x shiv
at least for the 1min KB
since cages
could be wrong
on some fights it lines up though that you get adds and shiv darkest night at the same time
where its EXTRA dopamine
most logs are doing the dn shiv but with a sample size of 18 that doesnt really tell us much
lmao
the shiv doesn't reach
yeh
wait so ttb is the play on mugzee for sure instead of ap right
not that it matters much either way
surely you want the bleed dam from AP for burn
probably AP just for execute
oh does spatter only do big dam if Shiv is on them or something?
i have no idea how spatter works
works like blade flurry
shiv makes the target affected take more nature damage, you arent doing more damage so the cleave damage going out doesnt change
unless of course the targets taking spatter damage ALSO are shived from AoE shiv
also true for any damage amps and stuff
works the same way with ghostly strike and bf ye
all target-based modifiers only work on the target receiving spatter
oh really? I actually didn't know that
so if you deal more damage, more spatter
if they take more damage, not more spatter
i figured it would just take a portion of the damage dealt to main target and go to everyone
so if main target is shiv'd everyone is shiv'd
if that makes sense
would be nice, yes
but then I guess AoE shiv wouldn't be a thing lmao
but also would open up an insane can of worms
yeah
the example I always like to give is say you have 2 targets that both take 100% more damage
like if the intermission on carnage, they took 100% increased
if it works the way you thought it did, you would deal more damage to the target you're not hitting
yeah if it worked my way, the bosses would blow up lmao
funnily enough i think this is a thing with outlaw for different reasons 
target swapping to Hyenas on stix to spatter boss 
with pc and some other shit in 2t the off target takes more damage
it's precisely equal unless I'm missing a bug
idk much about it i was just reading them talk about it
i try to avoid outlaw in general but soemtimes they do funny things
hmmm, how do I hit a dummy and test my damage vs sim. dummy goes into execute range
is there a giga dummy somewhere?
So wait what does arterial do
it turns shiv into chain lightning
aoe shivs and makes bleeds also do more damage @waxen oyster
well it does
cause the targets getting spattered take more nature damage by being shived
the things getting hit with the lightning shiv all take more nature damage
so they take more spatter damage
it's crazy to me that TTB and AP are the same in damageon Mug'zee or something. just reading them you would think AP is better since Sin is bleed spec, but apparently not?
i thought it was only main spatter target took more
like Shiv damage is beans, no?
thus anything near got hit harder as a result
well TTB is also a minor energy save
well as discussed above, the target taking more damage doesnt make the spatter of it more
well not anymore
we basically take 0 bleed talents in the raid spec
I mean yeah, funny bug
but when adds are out -> you shiv with arterial -> they get hit with shiv -> you now have a max of 8 targets taking 30% more nature damage -> spatter damage is increased because it hits targets taking more nature damage @waxen oyster
envenom the spec
oh so baseline shiv nature increase
if you have shived the boss before adds are out though, you have 1 target taking 30% more and 7 targets taking normal damage -> the spatter does not do more
doesnt buff spatter splashing
ye

wait what do you mean it doesnt exist in raid?
prior to patch assumed
the main spatter target taking more during shiv
would also spatter harder
onto everything else
well we always played arterial
hybrid in raid based
meow
well not in raid but more like
meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow
if add didnt spawn yet

good night
you can make whatever the hell you want buddy the world is your oyster
im gonna wake up tomorrow and play 16 hours of classic wow
bleed can drop dm to get iw

@fallow canopy 
Slightly worse
I wonder if it’s using shiv in single target
aight bleed build 100% felt better in priory
-23% in st we take it
@haughty flicker got a build for your title push
Yeh it’s not casting shiv
lmao
was a key level higher so might be similar but did like 500k more than my 13 in 14 with a similarly clean run
There’s no condition for non-deathmark
Whispyr what's the blue bar that appears on the envenom bar?
Pandemic
I spent like 2 min making that build (2 min I will never get back)
although iono sudden demise itself didn't seem omega despite the build itself feeling like it was cranking more
Should i wait to that bar?
No
no blindside so im not playing it
You can turn off your envenom tracker
was tryna be more aggressive about ruptures but maybe just failed
Okay, thanks
that would have given the improved ambush too much value
just take tight spender instead
Inevitable end without coldblood is the real damage gain though
idk if that is even possible ingame
my prio on knight was bigly though (or pugs just suck more tham me but it felt solid)
also top prio on captain
i assume not having a cd makes signet lose value
maybe i replace it with magnet
wait but no lingering darkness
shiat this seems good
bro also, why the fuck is my bootleg DN in lingering doing 14M
symbolic victory time
omg u get to take symbolic victory!
sub sectech is like 15M
i wonder
does fatebound lose less than deathstalker for not having dm
because of lingering
and is it enough to matter

I mean fatebound loses edge case
@frosty reef
pure st boss still ass but hey at least were better than boomies xD
@balmy condor
dont ping whispyr i dont want him to see the shit im saying
im not even playing DS
Is this the talent tree to play for high keys?
or do we stick with bleed?
bleed baby bleed
ok so only bleed then?
im cooking a new high key build dw
i'll let you know when its ready
thats some nice tanking tbh
alternatively
you can swap a talent out for ttk and pretend doing 1.31m dps instead of 1.3m dps is a huge st gain

Are you running a no DM build
yeah i dropped dm for iw
Can you sim my fatebound build also pls
needed the survivability
But why
I wanna see -300%
Idk im on my phone 
oopsie
CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwMjhZmZWmBAAAAAgZZwyAAAAAAgWWmZmxwYYYbWGDzMmxMjxYmlltZmhBGYBmxoxsBy2A2MA @haughty flicker
comparatively
What is outlaw using
idk i avoid them
ok the goon squad
goon hotline
actually might be goated for this
Are you tryna get title with no DM or something
going to rerun without the actual raid build bc the sim did not like the rest of them lmao
why isnt the shiv macro working for me? x) im sure it worked before
Holy damage
That one casts shiv
I might just have to parse hunt with that tomorrow
I mean it has to shiv for echoing reprimand value
The sims are a mysterious thing
@balmy condor so at first i thought the bleed build was just insane but then realized i was like at or near max eye stacks for like 20-22 minutes straight. we will try again but it did feel sick regardless. really good prio and felt pretty good when dm was down even
oh good point

what tier spot do we want off piece on ?
do you think my lootcouncil will give me thug hotline because i need it to do keys without deathmark
Either helm/chest generally
thats the correct macro no?
it ddoesnt cast the tea and idk why pwease halp
!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
Assassination uses no other macro aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
Wait yeah it only did cast 1 kingsbane 
hm idk
the test begins
Do you have old thistle tea somewhere
Bank or something
i never look in that cursed place tbh
Old thistle tea has a lower spell id
Yeah but why does it try to cast it from your bank
Wait isn’t hands off stats?
Hands and helm?
Haste/crit right
For fun idk
xdd @balmy condor ty ily
Yeah throw all that shit away
So dumb question. How the hell do you guys keep track of the deathstalker mark when you are tab garotting and rupturing
Do you just use a mouse over?
thx 🙂 with bleed build, when do i use shiv as i dont use KB?
Mouseover or just spam it on same target
just send that shit into the same target and let ic take the wheel
2 in deathmark like normal, otherwise aoe after tempest
ok thx 🙂
what about without dm
Personally just recolor the plater and slam into the same target
On cooldown
That makes that a lot easier
Signet for demise
i could use magnet but i assume the stats are still more valuable in aoe
since magnet is just st
with some piss cleave ig but still
why does a magnet do plague damage anyway
Targets are 35% hp? Signet CT shiv vanish garrote garrote rupture rupture
well its workshop so ye im giga demisemaxxing
on first pull
if we ever get a tank
Hope they dont inspect you before one signs up
ngl i think i have a good chance of still being top damage
It’s not like anyone understands our talents
Assa players don’t even understand assa talents
real
Considering I have to explain the same 5-6 talents
Over
And over
And over
And over
And over
And over
at least i finally found a use for symbolic victory
Huh
Praying for fatebound changes
you dont want to know
Yeah he is playing DM less bleed
well yeah but without dm i cant use lingering darkness
Oh i see, i jumped in mid convo
Freaky friday
good start ig
thats what inspired this actually
this is feelycraft but do best to line up shivs with dn envenoms with symbolic vicotry ye
makes sense
I just saw now the build without KB in MM+, what is the theory with shiv out of DM and mutilate vs FoK ?
cds are a crutch
also i died because the flame vent on conveyer belt randomly turned
Bel kebab

Great clip
You shiv for aoe
lol as a brand new assassin player coming over from sub/outlaw the build seems like it should be easy and yet is very complicated while being easy 🙂
The wowhead guide is written insanely well tho like one of the best explained “why do I do this” guides vs this is your rotation ❤️
ok well
its not good
but i think it wouldve done better if boss fights didnt take 15 minutes
i think everyone who even knows what im talking about left so gg
well your tank
isnt doing you any favors

thats part of why i lul when people link big overalls from 10s... like yeah if my bosses lasted 1 min everything would be diff
I mean the big packs also last longer in higher keys

it just depends what you're comparing
well im comparing not taking deathmark at all to a normal build
so it was doomed from the start lmao
remove deathmark, take iron wire, problem solved 
new meta build lets go
i was basically just using signet like deathmark which kind of defeats the purpose
need to get a good damage trinket or something
nah macro to envenom don't think about it
!rik
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.
Subtletly
guys what do we think abt energy drink on heroic
sussy drink? the delve trinket?
hero track one is pretty solid
really omega giga good for sub
ya it's pretty strong for a hero track trinket
definitely stronger for sub than for sin, but it's good either way
its very sussy
cummy energy drink
Pretty sure it's marginally better for sin between those two specs. But either way, a good Hero trinket for sure until you get something like a Myth pacemaker
myth pacemaker for sub sims about the same
even worse depending on the rest of your gear
wait
just a good trinket
sussy energy drink is probably great for my sussy build

real
overthinking is a dps loss boys
the middle guy could also be "I need to mouseover and perfectly spread everything and not waste a cast noooo you can't hit the same target over and over"
today I realized that the opener is actually garote rupture rupture ambush garote crimson knives envenom not the fking guide one with ambush first and wasting time for multilate to apply spatter
yeah fuck the guide
yeah fuck the guide
when she hits me with the gar gar gar rup rup
me slamming garrote on the same guy on the big opening pull in meadery 40x in a row:
opener is actually garrote rupture
cause 3 combo point ruptures
are fucking crazy sick
true and real
whisp when are we doing triple sin keys
can i bring my no cd build
cannot wait to see what blizzard will cook in 11.2
I bet it's going to be another extra mastery tier set
and somehow envenom becomes even more important
fok-fok-CT x3 then reapply mark with fok-fok envenom
hmmm nah doesn't sound real enough
I can garrote 36 times in a row if I spend my vanish charges well and I’m gonna do it
Will my garrote hit the casters or just random rowdy patrons
Me spamming garrote because thats what the sim does 
Who knows!


i ended up making a garrote mouseover macro where my dance keybind used to be because of all the non elite pulls where that happens
do you guys actually play with ironwire with the current dungeon pool?
I feel like it's not really necessary
if pugs are nothing without iron wire then they dont deserve to have iron wire
oh it wasn't even an iron wire thing. i was just madge when the pull ends and there's like all the elites remaining with no bleeds on them lol
true and real
I've never once chased "M+ overall damage" and believe I'm a healthier man bc of it
if the key is timed who cares
overall damage represents the size of your dick irl
Wait
What do you do when you run out out energy in M+ on boss?
Scan Kleinanzeigen?
sure
TikTok?
second monitor is essential for playing sin
Für the memes?
for youtube
Last boss of rookery is absolutely depressing
yeah idk what to even do on that boss
about to let the add spawn so i can get energy for bleeding it
I wouldn't let the add spawn for any reason - it's really just a wipe
yeah if you miss a crystal
definitely gonna let one spawn for funnel
this is the way
Start hearthijg when 2nd to last boss is about to die. Swap to sub. Go back in at checkpoint
Lose 0 time
Don’t even need to swap gear cause all you need is mastery
yeah i aint doing all that

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
Assassination uses no other macro aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
Me spamming 27 backstabs in a row because that s what the sim says

ok cause on wowhead i m pretty sure it goes TS

Who even needs the hero talent anyways 😔
actually insane.. blizz buffing dk smh
Baiting smh my head
wtf rip outlaw
60% of the time it works every time

I can't believe blizzard would do this
no pve changes D:
so in aoe, can I throw out KB, before doing an envenom?

Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage

is this true? my guildies are curious if you can stack the poison
it do be stackin
holy guacamole
iono if im doing something wrong or people prio'ing SD dmg are doin somethin wrong or prob both but like i was at 6.5 overall before last boss of floodgate in a 14 and this was my SD.. so like its def pumpin' but im not getting crazy SD numbers
getting big SD numbers just means you do lower content lol
its a meme
its a overkill protection, not "effective dmg"
bleed bulid ?
I mean my 9%+ is insane, its usually more like 6-7%
But its probably at the cost of a bit of envenoms/spatter
okay i kinda figured this was the case
yeah i was asking whisper about this earlier, seems like it kinda just depends on pull size etc how aggressive to get with ruptures vs. envenom
Iirc when i did the math it was a full rupture getting demised is roughly the same as envenom with 2 spatter targets
oh nice that's super helpful to know
14 cleft

(I trolled it so hard)
(we still timed)
shhhhhhh
Yo guys. I was playing bleed build and I was in Floodgate on the trash pull after the fish downstairs. We were fighting the 6 mobs there without the big one that sleeps. I think my Shiv pulled him with the aoe talent, even tho he wasn't infight. Is that possible?
It shouldnt pull unless he already was in combat but maybe
The range is huge so if you were tanking it somewhat close
I'm like 80% sure I did. He did have Shiv and I think I had aggro for a sec. Idk if it was a big coincidence tho
Like here is a screenshot of me doing that but im stabbing the ones in melee
And you can see it hitting the one in the back
You hit the Inspector on that range?
LOL
Are you sure he didn't just jump out right as you casted?
Are there other classes/specs similar to assa rogue? I like the DOTs, satisfying rotation (apart from deathmark), slower pace, cool theme. If there is similar I might try for an alt.
I haven't actually ever played it, but maybe Feral?
No way, wtf
feral
afflock
From my understanding, you shiv your first guy, it then jumps to a mob within X yards of the first guy, it then jumps to a mob within X yards of the second guy
So you can get some stupidly far off arterial shivs
I forget the number I wanna say 8 but I might be wrong
for heroic gally as assa, is it worth running more cleave or just simply our new ST build with caustic?
On the topic of pulling things, I was pulling all sorts of things in dungeon with one of those catch up trinkets from the siren isles last season, it was crazy. I had to take it off.
I did my vault runs today. All in Floodgate. I never really bothered pressing Deathmark on trash, because I kind of forgot/didn't care for the single target damage on an add that probably insta pops. I know it's not ideal, but I was kinda brain afk. In the last key I remembered, that that button actually also triggers my on-use trinket xd
Just ST build (with arterial)
But popping is fine because of demise
and splatter
Oh, that works?
