I miss being able to vanish kujo

spice surge
#

But like

gusty mirage
#

and breaking his entire leap

spice surge
#

You have cloak and feint for it anyway

#

So its w/e

near valley
#

vanish kujo doesn't work anymore?

spice spire
#

But what about my friends eleem

stuck jacinth
#

people were saying early season that still worked, but I have yet to be able to vanish kujo so I assume its broken

gusty mirage
#

I tried it and almost wiped us KEKW

near valley
#

om

stuck jacinth
#

I try sprinting and doing it every time and fail, but I am also bad at game so

royal lantern

including the Bad at the Game part

stuck jacinth
#

we all are

gusty mirage
#

same

stuck jacinth
#

as long as we are self aware

#

its ok

frank trench
#

At what point does bleed build stop keeping up and I need with switch, I am giga enjoying bleed right now doing 11s

sonic schooner
#

well

#

actually

#

the higher you go the better bleed is so kekman

frank trench
#

Ooooooo

sonic schooner
#

since it s more single target

frank trench
#

Well heck I’m very happy then 🙂

#

I’m like 2 weeks into assassination and love it so far bleed is so much fun

spice spire
#

Pins SoCute

nova aspen
#

enjoy it while u can

sonic schooner
#

the only feelbad part is that since packs are living longer, you will have to reapply ruptures manually during a pack, but that s fine just get used to it, multi dotting as melee is a bad design imo happy_holiday_pepe

yea be ready for the sudden demise nerf cuz its execute part do too much in lower keys

frank trench

Plater

sonic schooner
#

i bound my targetlasttarget button, and work my way with that

frank trench
#

Oh wait what

sonic schooner
#

trying to multidot as much as i can wiht mouseover but it s sometimes scary

frank trench
#

I hate mouse over

#

Can you explain that

#

I’m a tabber

nova aspen
#

u mouse over a nameplate with out bleed, cast rupture, and it ruptures 3 targets instead of 2

#

bleed maxxing

sonic schooner
#

i think that s the default bind

frank trench
#

Yeah I need to do that but I find that sometimes my mouse cursor ends up effing me on a mob and I lose it and I’m slamming wrong mob :0

sonic schooner
#

i got used to it because of pvp

#

I wonder if it would make sense to set focus to a primary target to go back to

#

Probably not

Yo guys, on Mugzee when do you guys go full cds ? I looked at logs and some big assa go full cds opener. But in my case, i feel like prison spawning in the middle of DM.. and looks like a waste...

#

Is it worth waiting after prison and waste BL ?

red schooner
#

Unless you get selected for prison, alt-f4 at that point

nova aspen
#

yes alt f4 or wipe the raid

#

"sry guys i didnt see the overlap"

sonic schooner
#

just get a priest grip

#

or step perfect frame

solar cipher
#

your haste is super low tho, a suggestion would be to recraft your vers/mastery pieces to crit/haste or crit/mastery (sim ofc)

i went from 2.3k haste to 7.4k haste and im not feeling that energy starved anymore (i also rupture adds), and i also went like +40k simdps or something from recrafting pieces. sim & find out!

nova aspen
#

"i swear i was on the marker"

red schooner
#

"blizzard servers I swear"

solar cipher
#

also in those logs you have 2.6k haste and the other guy has 6.7k haste

sonic schooner
#

wtf wtf wtf haste shaming

#

#

I was under the impression that haste did precisely naff all to fix our energy generation issues overall

golden loom

!design

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.

grim jay
#

if you have a huge diff you might notice tho

red schooner
#

Are we now hastemaxxing? Is it time to go fast

golden loom

wheres the line about it being like an extra apm

I wanna go fast

#

!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

Like ye you get energy back, but you then need to spend that energy to get back to full cp again, where you couldve just sent an envenom instead that did more

sonic schooner
#

tbf since all my guild decided to padd on premium bomb

#

i kinda considered switching assa for oab even

nova aspen
#

my guild is struggling with bombshells so im forced to shadowstep to africa

#

to help detach

#

its a struggle

golden loom

#

(as sub)

nova aspen
#

euffy even joined for saturday night

#

on his 640 boomie

#

and with 3 boomies it was our best pull lmao

short bridge
#

What a rat lol yea I was watching

nova aspen
#

definitely going sin for sprocket

#

i did get a myth outlaw wep over the weekend

#

is outlaw the play for stix?

short bridge
#

Yea I’m gonna be switching to sin and outlaw now

#

Yea that’s what I’m doing

golden loom
#

I mean sin is fine for stix

royal lantern
sonic schooner
#

just get benched for stix

runic basin
#

When does it make sense to swap to bleed build? Only in Dungeons like priory, flood..?

sonic schooner
#

other than that, outlaw if u dont get a ball is probably the best

short bridge
#

Yea getting balls first sucks

dapper cradle
gritty laurel
#

yeah bleed pumps and is more chill to play

nova aspen
#

yeah i like going sub and nearly tieing boomies on bombshell damage

#

a juiced sectec removes 50% of their hp

#

plus sometimes its beneficial to get a ball

#

when u have nothing anyway

sonic schooner
#

bombshells not dying before reching melee?

dapper cradle
nova aspen
#

but i cant wait to kill stix and then start sprocket prog so i can recraft for sin and BLEEDS

#

I swap from outlaw to sin whenever I don’t want to bash my keyboard anymore

why do we craft boots second? what makes boots better than any other piece?

near valley
#

because feet

golden loom
#

I have crafted belt and head

barren yarrow
#

idk

lethal lynx
#

I'm considering crafting wrists cause it'll give this alt like 5 ilvls

#

lmao

golden loom
#

u craft according to what ur low ilvl slots are and what sims good

spice surge
#

Theres nothing in particular about boots

lethal lynx
#

yeah I figured

#

was just wondering why the guides say boots

barren yarrow
#

Yeah I crafted a cloak and weapon

golden loom
#

cause it has to have something

lethal lynx
#

like it says
2. boots
3. lowest ilvl

#

lol

barren yarrow
#

that’s just overall guidance

#

Yo guys was checking talents for m+, the bleed build doesnt use KB ?

near valley
#

yes

barren yarrow
#

Correct

near valley
#

the bleed build slaps hard ngl

low thicket
golden loom
#

I went head cause it was a 1% upgrade, the tier helm is kinda stinky, and the only other headpiece in the raid drops from gallywix so would be quite a while to get myth track head outside of vault luck

golden basin
#

And when u fighting boss without KB, can u do some good dps ?

#

i feel like its a big loss

zenith elm

you get excute

Oh from sudden demise

golden loom
#

no

near valley
#

ambuses from blindside have increased chance in execute

golden loom
#

zoldyck = more poison and bleed damage in execute range
blindside = random free ambush procs that increase proc rate during execute

Oh shit, always looked at % for mastery & crit. Apparently my signet gives crit instead of mastery due to higher crit number 🤦‍♂️

gusty mirage
#

regem mastery + like haste instead of mastery + crit

#

can also try the cursed mastery ring enchant

#

2 of them is -230 crit rating and +780 mastery rating

#

can also recraft your embellished pieces to help

iron ivy
#

Flask of alchemical chaos is not the right one to use then as well

gusty mirage
#

ye you want alchemical chaos

#

but if you're trying to save money, can grab the tempered mastery flasks

#

which will help balance your stats a bit

gusty mirage
#

fuck you

iron ivy
#

My crit is 18k and my mastery is 12,7k atm, not sure how I can change that so that I get the right mastery buff

gusty mirage
#

is it 18k w/ flasks??

near valley
gusty mirage
#

loved dbz

royal lantern
iron ivy
#

Yes without flasks

near valley
#

would you say dbz is perfect?

gusty mirage
#

yeah you're gonna be forced to recraft, regem, and use mastery flasks to get signet to proc mastery I think

iron ivy
#

I have those enchants now

gusty mirage
#

damn

#

6k is a lot to overcome tbh

iron ivy
#

Yea I know 😄

gusty mirage
#

yeah idk if recrafting will even solve that

golden loom
#

What stats do the ammy/ring give

gusty mirage
#

farming new jewelery and recrafting + mastery flask is prolly your best bet

#

:/

stuck jacinth
#

craft neck get rid of that giga crit neck ;p

iron ivy
#

ammy: 4.6k crit, 2.3k versa
ring: crit 4k & 2.7k mastery

Ammy is huge crit

iron ivy
#

Good notice 😛

#

I just went for all bis gear

hexed badge
#

I feel you on fixing stats, I started the season as sub and had so much vers to change when moving to assas

golden loom
#

Crafting ammy is probably your best move

iron ivy
#

Good call, thanks everyone 🙂

#

Blindly following BiS gear is not always the right call 😄

gusty mirage
#

happens to the best of us

golden loom
#

there are like 80 different variations of "BIS" so yeah 😄

#

Haven’t checked in awhile but you could force the highest stat gem in the siren ring to be the stat you want until logout.

just to make sure you're chasing the right items

Does haste still peel through in dungeons for bleed build? Wasn’t sure if that was more on ST side of things.

#

I’m running such low haste lol.

#

I’ll just sim DSlice and see where I end up. I’m just starting the 12-13 range now, so dungeons like ToP are where I’ll need to start really practicing Bleed

does Spatter hit the Mugzee adds even when you are not inside wall?

#

Is the opener with bleed build in aoe still the same? Or do you put more emphasis on spreading bleeds to more targets with spatter being a lesser priority?
On large pulls like the 1st pull of brew you would just get 5-6 garrotes and rupture out before spamming envenom

# gusty mirage what's DN

DN is short for Darkest Night, the capstone of the Deathstalker Hero Tree that the Rogue Specs Assassination and Subtlety share

the tree lets you apply a debuff on your enemy called Deathstalkers Mark by using Ambush ( as Assassination) or Shadowstrike (as Subtlety)

3 stacks of this Debuff get applied, and everytime you use a Finishing move at 5 or more Combo Points, it removes 1 stack and makes your next mutilate/ambush (Assassination) or backstab/shadowstrike( Subtlety) do more dmg

when all 3 stacks are removed, you activate the capstone talent Darkest Night, which makes you next Envenom(Assassination) or Eviscerate (Subtlety) a guranteed critical strike, makes you gooble on Deez Nuts and also do 50% more dmg then normal if used at maximum possible Combo Points

after you did that finisher, DN gets removed and applies 3 new Deathstalkers Marks on the enemy and the circle repeats

i hope you now understand what DN is oxi

Fok Conditions Post-Buff
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

coral ibex

well you can ask them

#

can't guarantee the answers wont also be dented

low thicket
#

The answer is BleedBuild

river cradle
#

So when I read this it makes me think you can have 4 garrotes through death mark but I’m like pretty sure that’s not the case and made me realize I just don’t know how garrote and improved garrote interact

balmy condor
#

I am the one who dents

river cradle
balmy condor
#

Improved garrote is 1 garrote, deathmark makes it 2

coral ibex
#

i think it just means deathmark creates a second garrote

river cradle
#

Oh hi whispyr ty for the guide

coral ibex
#

any bleed active on your target, deathmark just makes a duplicate of

balmy condor
#

Hi

spice spire
haughty flicker
spice spire
#

So it’s just two garrotes that are improved

coral ibex
#

there's no way to have both a garrote and an improved garrote on a target

river cradle
coral ibex
#

which i think is part of your confusion

river cradle
#

OHHHH

#

Ok

coral ibex
#

it also duplicates sanguine ticks right?

river cradle

I was so confused cuz a rogue friend who played in DF was telling me deathmark snapshot red and I was so confused

coral ibex
#

there hasnt been snapshotting in quite a while

#

almost everything dynamically updates

#

Oh and follow up follow up, when you pandemic the improved garrote I assume it ticks as improved garrote for a few seconds then becomes a regular garrote?

spice spire
#

No

golden loom
#

coral ibex

do not overwrite improved garrotes with standard

spice spire
#

When you overwrite imp garrote with a normal

#

It goes normal

river cradle
#

Ok

coral ibex
#

you don't pandemic improved garrote unless you can reapply an improved

#

So the first garrote after stealth you wanna let it fall off then reapply

Ye

The reverse is true too, if you pandemic a regular gar with improved the new pandemiced gar will be empowered

Ok cool cool good to know

coral ibex

something i do (not sure if its good, likely not) is i will refresh improved garrotes at the end of the timer to apply an improved

is bleed build also the go to for raids now or the previous default raid ST build?

spice surge
#

No

coral ibex
#

bleed in m+ not raid

spice surge
#

Its for m+ exclusively

coral ibex
#

no change to raid build afaik

uneven plume
#

Big vault

balmy condor
#

True

low thicket
#

Woah the choices POGGERS2

river cradle
#

Actually another question, what’s the standard m+ build or is it varied, Warcraft logs shows a lot of people playing sudden demise kingsbane and DTB but the wowhead guide recommends the build that’s bleed focused with arterial precision

coral ibex
#

it varies, the bleed build is recommended

river cradle
#

Also guys while typing this I forgot about the theatre troupe maan

coral ibex
#

its somewhat of a new cook due to the TC's doing some sim stuff

inner citrus
coral ibex
#

well assa having a bleed build isn't a new cook, but the current talent set is

#

assa being bleed based is historically supported

spice surge
#

It doesnt play drastically different

coral ibex
#

if you can play the raid build you can play bleed

#

quite easily

#

it literally has less buttons to hit

inner citrus
#

gotcha. will do the jump from sub to sin. thanks!

hot flicker
#

Maybe a stupid question but can anyone give me a detailed answer to why haste is good for bleed build effectively it just makes it tick faster right? Not technically making it do more damage but making it do said damage faster?

earnest remnant
#

im not danish

#

checkmate

balmy condor
#

You fucking freak Stealthi

spice surge
earnest remnant
#

the what now?

balmy condor
hot flicker
#

Yeah I get that so it does actually increase the damage of the dot within the said time

balmy condor
#

Well yeah

#

You cast a rupture, it’s 30 seconds

#

With 0 haste it does 15 ticks of 1000 damage

#

Now you have 100% haste

#

It’s still 30 seconds

#

But you get 30 ticks of 1000 damage

hot flicker
#

Okay cool I thought it may have worked the other way

#

Tick faster for more spreader damage per tick

#

Rather then just flat more ticks

balmy condor
#

More what

hot flicker
#

Like instead of 15 1000s

#

30 500s

balmy condor
#

Oh

#

Yeah that would be entirely pointless

hot flicker
#

Yeah I guess so but idk I needed to know the answer it was on my mind lol

#

How the haste actually affected the dot

#

So in real terms for bleed build haste should be close to mastery stat wise because they both scale dots well

#

As well as crit is kinda rng

#

Is that a correct take on it?

balmy condor
#

No

#

Haste is nowhere near as valuable as mastery

hot flicker
#

Okay but should be more then crit right?

barren yarrow
#

You don’t need to take 30% haste but normally assassin takes less haste than mastery and crit. Haste will increase DOT application speed overtime. You want to still Prio Mastery

balmy condor
#

No

#

You’ll have way more mastery

barren yarrow
#

what Whispyr said lol

balmy condor
#

And way more crit

#

Than you will haste

barren yarrow
#

yeah for me I have like 65% mastery, 31% crit and 11% haste

versed gulch
#

Bleed build doesn't hate the incidental haste on your gear. Which is another win for Bleed.

merry tapir
#

Should i play around sanguine blades?

balmy condor
#

Not really

#

How many bleeds do we want out with the bleed build? Is it still 4-5 ruptures and garrotes or do we want to spread more on larger pulls before going into envenom/spatter spam?

Do we have any responsibilities for the affix this week?

balmy condor

What’s the affix

#

90% feel the answer is no though

woven ruin
#

The 10 orbs

spice spire
#

Balls innit

#

The ones we blind

versed gulch
balmy condor
#

You can aoe blind a mob

spice surge
spice spire
red schooner
#

Can throw out a blind but gotta do it on a mob and not the orbs or it won't aoe

#

for some reason

spice spire
#

Blinding an orb just hits a singular orb

near valley
#

which ones the orbs

hot flicker
silk sundial
#

So something like Ambush. Garrote. Garrote. Rupture. Rupture. And then possibly another garrote and rupture if there are enough mobs followed by CT and shiv?

near valley
#

am i already forgetting affixes?

coral ibex
#

the ones that have to be cc'd in some way

#

and hold you in combat

#

they SUCK

spice surge
#

Build with stealthed garrote if theres targets without it

near valley
#

ah now i remember

balmy condor
versed gulch
#

I think if you Blind a mob near the orbs it chains. But yeah, just targeting an orb it doesn't splash for some reason

#

Still doesn't change the fact that we're kind of garbage at dealing with that affix. And the dispel one too

balmy condor
#

The issue is that blind aoe is off of the mob, and if you blind an orb, the orb dies before the aoe

#

So the aoe fizzles

silk sundial
#

Cool and double shiv during your DM windows? Then use shiv between windows basically on cd/pull?

balmy condor

Because no affix Surebud

red schooner

(Pushing keys scares me, pls)

balmy condor

Yeah cause no shit ass affix

pliant remnant
#

Why do 10s in vault when we all eventually die anyway

spice spire
#

12s are pretty easy. Damage requirement isn’t stupid High and things aren’t one shotting you

#

At 648 was v different

balmy condor
#

Okay elitist

red schooner
pliant remnant
#

Just get up to resilient 12s

coral ibex
#

nah bro 12's are literally easier than 10's bc the pug monkeys can't fuck up the affix

spice spire
pliant remnant
#

No worry, and you'll probs get better players in queue

spice spire
#

Worst case you fail

#

Move on

wanton lava

12s are easier honestly just a hard M0 with a DPS check lol

red schooner
spice spire
#

If anyone types rude things to you they have more problems than keys

coral ibex
#

you can't fuck up the affix!

#

its literally just like a 4 that hits harder

#

therefore 12's are easier than 10's

#

thank you for coming to my tedx talk

ok so i have a dagger myth with haste mastery and one crafted, but today i got a crit mastery dagger myth, 3 ilvl are a really upgrade?

Do we play around zoldyck execute with much or is it kinda there? Like would you hold a shiv or dm if the enemy hp is close to 35%

hi guys, i'm currently playing as an Assassination Rogue and am unsure which weapon consumable to use to maximize my damage in both AoE and single-target situations. I've been using Oil of Deep Toxins for both, but I've seen suggestions to use Algari Mana Oil and Ironclaw Whetstone. What should I use?

coral ibex
#

hello mr sins love your work

spice spire

I have not used anything other than whetstones

I use whet

What is the usecase for the bleed build in high keys? I know it does better boss damage, but is there any other considerations? For example, if your comp is aoe stacked so packs die faster/4-5 boss dungeons, etc..

coral ibex
#

it does better aoe

btw, is there a different stats priority for Raid?

so its just better

hey peeps! is alchemical chaos flask truly the better route S2 for dps? i mostly run M+ keys and my stats are : Crit 28%, Haste 6%, Mastery 54%. I just feel like i should be using tempered masstery to hit that 62% mast mark. or Would alchemical chaos still be the better route this season?

spice spire

Alchemical chaos is best because it does best during our burst windows. Tempered potions gives you all stats

If no one minds me asking a really basic question, because Garrote/Rupture only affects limited targets, and because you need to use Ambush to apply Mark, what's the typical for an AOE mythic fight? Should I mark > garrote/rupture lots, or...use gar/rup lots and then wait for Ambush before it isn't available?

balmy condor
#

You ambush first
