That's cool

bronze pike
midnight mist
#

Hope we do that for reclear

#

I ain't stopping dps

#

That's for sure

subtle tundra
#

it took a bit to change some soak positions

#

very improv

#

Stat reforging

#

#

Take me back

subtle tundra
#

but its gonna make next reclears much better

bronze pike
#

Why do they always take out the good shit from the past

grand trail
royal lantern
#

eh, they will, but probably in a different way

i can imagine that "Delves" just turn into "solo Dungeons" instead

royal lantern

#

thanks buddy

#

thats all i needed to hear

#

Oh

Crispy whispy

#

Are we farming arcano crystal for huge stats again??

#

Hey guys, what plates/wa's does everyone use for dot tracking? I've just got standard elvui on atm and on big AoE packs, I can't ever see majority of the bars or whats dotted or not very clearly

balmy condor

so it's just bad

prisma monolithBOT
midnight mist
#

shouldnt be that hard next weeks

balmy condor
#

can pick from there

golden loom
#

next 3% is in 2 weeks right?

#

it was like every 3 weeks instead of 2 this time or am I wrong

midnight mist
#

really

arcanocrystal exploits happen every expansion and they're literally just not even worth it

#

but HOLY SHIT OLD TRINKET EXPLOITED WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

#

and everyone goes crazy

midnight mist
#

i hate exploits !

bronze pike
#

Tho this might be my classi side talking tho

#

I like it when items from last season are still viable option in the next

#

Granted as long as it’s not ultra rare stuff

royal lantern
#

naaaaahh

#

you like it because you have it

#

if you dont have it? lmao, get fucked

bronze pike
#

Yes pepe_chad

midnight mist
#

Ye when your bis is from an old raid and you can't farm it anymore

#

Gg

#

Even when you have it it's annoying your Ilvl is lower

bronze pike
#

Having normal syl dagger and it being viable all season 3

#

Was neat

midnight mist
#

I like illvl number to go up !

royal lantern
#

now imagine literally never dropping it

#

🙂

midnight mist
#

Bigger illvl bigger damage

bronze pike
#

But ya it’s a silly take from personal subjective bias

Bleed build uses CT on 1 target correct?

balmy condor
#

yes

wide gorge
#

is eye of kehzan better than pacemaker? it sim higher for me but while reading the guide i understood that EoK is not a great trincket for assa right?

balmy condor
#

eye of kezan is great specifically for the last 3 bosses on mythic

#

and that's about it

#

it's still like a fine trinket, it's not terrible

#

it's just niche

#

tyvm for your help whispyr

spice surge
#

Its very good if you can have it near max stack, its very bad if you cant

lucid nexus
#

i have a (stupid?) question on sanguine blades. The effect occurs when you refresh the bleed and u are at 50%+ energy or every time a bleed ticks and u are at 50%+ energy ?

How important is cyrces ring? Haven't farmed it yet but want to play sin

balmy condor

it's best in slot

so idk

#

Is holding a tea charge for kingsbane a significant gain?

agile wedge
#

!energy

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.

proud pelican
#

Hmm that’s useful but doesn’t directly answer my question

#

It mentions KB with tea so maybe I hold

glacial relic
agile wedge
#

oh it was more for myself sorry

#

as i dont know the exact answer to your question 😛

agile wedge

#

Keys are going well

royal lantern
warm vortex
#

We told him prekey aswell

glacial relic
#

If I remember correctly the auto tea vs manual tea is around 0.4% difference

agile wedge
#

yeahi know

agile wedge
#

just wanted to say if i just play, i dont have a spare charge, cause autouse consumed it all for spamming

grim jay
#

Which is fine

#

Because it lines up with kb

royal lantern
#

mate

they have the same cd

you literall, always have it for kingsbane

#

you cant use kb and dont have tea

glacial relic
#

Yeah not relevant to worry about it 😄

proud pelican
#

Oh word that’s pretty ez. Then just let the other teas happen natty in between cds?

royal lantern
#

yeha, kinda

golden loom
#

macro tea to shiv, and u never have to think about tea again

royal lantern
#

you macro tea with shiv and forget it exists

#

can remove it from your skillbar, doesnt matter

#

!tea

prisma monolithBOT

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

balmy condor
proud pelican
#

Oh ok this macro is what I was missing. I tried binding it to shiv and chugged all 3 charges instantly like a neanderthal

balmy condor
#

if it were >0.2% it would still be manually cast in sims and the macro would be gone

proud pelican
#

Is the dry shiv still a thing? I was seeing a lot of the top logs are not using dry shiv

balmy condor
#

it is, yes

proud pelican
#

🫡

balmy condor
#

all of these shivs at 0:40

#

are dry shivs

proud pelican
#

Do you have the numbers on how much of a gain it is whispyr?

balmy condor
#

0.5%ish

proud pelican
#

Word

fast folio
#

Isnt this supposed to be the last 8 seconds of Kingsbane? Or is it correctly Deathmark?

balmy condor
#

the last 8 seconds of deathmark are the last 8 seconds of kingsbane

#

deathmark is 16 seconds, kingsbane is 14

fast folio
#

Ah ok

proud pelican
#

My shivs on bosses this week about to be so fking dry

frosty nebula
#

is blood mallet website ok for checking trinkets?

balmy condor
#

yesn't

rocky zodiac
#

for general overview okay ish. just sim yourself to be sure

balmy condor
#

it's good for showing the value of trinkets roughly for 1 slot

frosty nebula
#

i mostly look for 5 targets , ma+

balmy condor
#

oh

#

then definitely not

#

putting aside the issues of using a 5 min 5 target sim to compare m+ trinkets

#

bloodmallet currently doesn't have alternate builds

#

so it's just the single target talents

frosty nebula
#

oh ok ty

pine fiber
#

For the bleed build, do we cast shiv on ST (boss) outside of Deathmark?

(Ik i didn't even do that good on this run but like)

#

It felt like i was the only dps tbf

grim jay
#

Brother noone in here knows what good dmg for a bm would be

warm vortex
#

I know but at least i was doing actual damage tbf

grim jay
#

Nor does anyone know what good log dps would be

#

99% of the people wouldnt even know that for sin

normal mist
#

I guess we just need to look at the numbers

grim jay
#

Because fuck m+ logs

normal mist
#

Since he did + 700k dps than the second guy

#

All had the same ilvl

warm vortex
#

So i'm not using it as the end all be all

grim jay

All i'm saying is they could have done more for sure

I'm purely talking numbers

Alsom didn't know just how fast gearing was this tier

#

got a fury from like

#

500 ilevel to 635 in like what

#

an hour n thirty?

#

Or smth like that

subtle tundra
#

what does that have to do with this tier

warm vortex
#

Tbf i had a war already at 620

subtle tundra
#

thats last season ilvl

warm vortex
#

Yea i know

subtle tundra
#

your argument makes no sense

warm vortex
#

I'm talking about catchup

subtle tundra
#

even if true, cause it is piss easy to gear

warm vortex
#

Yea

grim jay
#

The crest reduction is pretty good

warm vortex
#

that's my point

#

I'm saying gearing this tier is faster than i thought

#

Cuase i knew it was fast

#

But i didn't know this fast

But you can literally like

go and pick up the crest quests from the renown vendors and transmute those crests to make a ton of 629 gear to get started
Then do like the weeklies n shit and also check for warbound gear

grim jay

Can also just buy a normal boost with loot share for like no Gold at all

And then do delves and m+

#

would it be possible to create a bleed build for raid that also doesn't use kingsbane?

grim jay
#

Possible? Sure

#

Would it suck? Probably

balmy condor
#

yeah it's entirely possible, and entirely dogshit

#

there's a reason why we have raid builds and m+ builds

#

m+ builds are horrid in raids, and raid builds are horrid in m+

lavish wing
#

we should make one thats both horrid, in raid and m+

Intent to Kill is not troll sitmadge

#

More shadowstep = more uptime = infinite dps gain

royal lantern

tru

solves all assa uptime issues

subtle tundra
#

guys how much dps loss is intent to kill??

grim jay
#

About 30

golden loom
#

Especially with IC, if you have all the rik barrles garotted u can just shadowstep between them all and do insane damage

#

its like killing spree but better

like ks without dmg to dot conversion 😄

Noo, its rik, the voices..

you should see some of the sims I do when I'm fixing the damn thing, you haven't seen shit until you get back a copy with -NaN%

and raidbots NaN is a really big negative number cause it gets insanely confused

Fatebound build only work for pure single target like sprocketmonger?

balmy condor

yes

sonic schooner

Raidbot being like "whatcha doing bud what s this trash u implemented me hell nahw i aint giving u any answers"

Fatebound works best if you let it rest in its coffin

regal linden
#

does deathstalker provide any benefit for cleave fights?

pure moth
regal linden
#

what's the difference?

balmy condor

and deathstalker just has raw aoe talents

wait what, it nerfs itself how

oh my god I made the sim go insane

if you try hard enough the sim will eventually just jump off a cliff

royal lantern
grim jay
normal mist
#

Fair

golden loom
#

these are the only 3 envenomns it cast the entire fight kekdog

balmy condor
#

there's gaps in logic if you do some insane talent build that dodges all cases

sonic schooner
royal lantern
#

bro made the sim commit suicide

sonic schooner
balmy condor
#

making it not cast envenom is impressive though

golden loom
#

even then... it did more damage than KB kekdog

balmy condor
#

those 3 envenoms are most likely the fallback in the stealthed list for kingsbane

#

but I'm not entirely sure how you managed to get it to avoid the main envenom line

grim jay
#

So we can truely see how bad it is

sonic schooner
#

Imagine it becomes actually better

#

And we have à New 🆕 build

#

Davyn are u telling me 88 mutilates in a 5min fight isnt optimal?

wait actually how did you manage to dodge the envenom line

#

wtf

sonic schooner
#

Whispyr being as confused as raidbot makes my day

balmy condor
#

wait

warm vortex
#

Tbh feel like these class discord severs should have verification processes or msth

balmy condor
#

you hit the base envenom line

grim jay

Its a fucking mess

balmy condor
#

HUH

what does that mean

u broke Whispyr

that envenom line is the one that fires off

now whos gonna do our tc

balmy condor

it's the main envenom spam when you hit x cp

probably, yeah. I was just excited to get some high item level pants. Kept running droptimizers and seeing legs give me an 11% damage increase but it was only going to give me 3p

@golden loom you actually managed to run into something that I have a drafted fix for, but it's for entirely different reasons

#

(variable.not_pooling|debuff.amplifying_poison.stack>=20|!variable.single_target)

basically has to dodge all of these conditions. The last two are easy, you sim single target and don't take amplifying, so that's done. The first one is a bit of a mess cause the sim still technically pools, it's not a dps gain, but its kept in just in case it comes back at some point and it helps with like energy planning stuff and whatever for some more complex sims and the pooling before kb etc and staying above 50% with bleed build, doesn't matter. Point is that with these talents it's trying to hover around 80% energy before casting envenom

#

combo_points<=variable.effective_spend_cp&!variable.cd_soon|variable.not_pooling|!variable.single_target

this is the condition it has to trigger to use mutilate, which is similar, except that first part is combo_points less than OR EQUAL TO effective spend cp

#

which means the sim is allowed to mutilate on max cp technically

subtle tundra
#

ok

balmy condor
#

under normal conditions, that never really triggers and only has some niche edge-cases where it matters, which is the thing that is getting fixed

#

but in this case it's able to mutilate at max fast enough to permanently stay under 80%

#

and essentially just block envenom from ever casting

The zagging zizzler

balmy condor
#

I literally just explained it

static glacier
#

Reading

#

Ok wait

#

Why tf would it ambush on max if it has no energy to env instead of waiting

#

To env then ambush

ionic pumice
#

dont how just it put it on you sometimes you got 2stacks and you probably die cant find anything that how you get the debuff and how it stacks

static glacier
#

And you better not tell me it doesn’t matter

balmy condor
#

I.... literally just explained it

static glacier
#

Yes I understand the logic coded into all

#

Apl

balmy condor
#

the entire conversation we just had

#

was about how its able to do this

static glacier
#

I’m questioning the logic itself

spice spire
#

Because that’s the logic it had.

static glacier
#

There is the crux of the issue

spice spire
#

I mean it’s why it needs to be fixed

static glacier
#

Why did it have that logic

#

Like what

brave comet
#

so is getting a high value on caustic spatter in the first boss just pure luck?

balmy condor
#

because I accidentally added an = instead of not doing that

#

???????

static glacier
#

Oh

#

Silly billy

brave comet
#

i have 300 million less damage on caustic than the #10 parse for example

balmy condor
#

sims have mistakes

static glacier
balmy condor
#

these things happen

static glacier
#

Ur not beating the allegations any more xd

spice surge
#

It literally doesnt affect the overall of the sim

#

It happens like once every 30 minutes

In her group, in the pins or from whispyrs bleed video

static glacier
#

The impact of intuitive rotational changes leading to no gain is driving me into an absurdist view of our spec

balmy condor
#

or from my weakaura

#

or probably also from the collection

#

basically everywhere

gusty mirage
#

she separated the dif pieces so you could yoink the one you want instead of downloading installing the entire pack

golden loom
spice spire
#

I see

balmy condor
#

overcapping 3 combo points every 30 minutes

#

is not enough of an impact

#

for the sim to be able to tell

#

like that already just happens naturally whenever it mutilates on 6cp

#

it just happens to ambush and overcap once every 6-7 pulls

spice surge
#

Its not an assa specific thing either

balmy condor
#

yeah

#

things like this happen on every spec in the game

static glacier
#

I think we suffer more of these it doesn’t produce a significantly large result in either direction to matter

#

Maybe it’s bc we actually have more decisions due to downtime

balmy condor
#

I fixed an issue in dragonflight where the sim wouldn't cast vanish, which sounds really terrrible

#

except that it would only happen once every 1500 pulls

isnt this a lie

gusty mirage
#

it is now

#

it never used to be

midnight mist
#

i think i have seen whisp trashtalk wowa again recently

gusty mirage
#

we should prolly update that command

balmy condor
#

yeah just turn it off entirely for the channel or something

#

but I mean it's kinda fine

#

it still shows raw basics on uptime

#

it just doesn't have any logic for how to get better either

midnight mist
#

i got a blue log on mugzee

balmy condor
#

so it's sorta useless

midnight mist
#

will improve with wowa

balmy condor
#

is what it is though

archon buying everything

i think wowa is still just a random side project

#

completly open aswell

#

just that archon bought it like they did with every single wow thing

#

only thing thwey wont be able to buy is wowhead

alright, works

midnight mist

the whole idea is that it doesn't do that fuu KEKL

we don't have enough people to do log reviews

you could've just left it as it was

vestal wren
midnight mist
#

No

#

George

#

He is log review guy

#

Let him log review

balmy condor
#

what was wrong with the wowa stuff

midnight mist

George wanna log review me cuh

vestal wren
#

oxi asked me to remove it

#

Has it even been like that

vapid sierra
#

Current st assa feels better than sub even tho both are energy starved as shit

midnight mist
#

If at least you were consuming your blindside procs

#

Can't believe they removed the only gameplay the spec had

grim jay
#

Whispyr knows for sure tho

midnight mist
#

Well it can be slower but with a bit more stuffs to do

grim jay

wait did we want it back to wowanalyzer?

midnight mist
#

So you just Perma spam one button

balmy condor
#

there was nothing wrong with the wowa thing

leave alone my one button

balmy condor

Idk why we wanted to change it in the first place

midnight mist

Not my fault

gusty mirage

#

Otherwise I was falling asleep

balmy condor
gusty mirage
#

figured we'd just give @spice spire more stuff to do

dawn heath
#

You hit perfect a-d globals on assa as fillers

balmy condor
#

if we want to update the command, we get rid of it entirely

he seems bored these days

that's fine

just leave it

vestal wren

kk

gusty mirage
# midnight mist Ok

see how many detections you can fit in your cooldowns without dropping envenom buff

midnight mist
#

No way that's what I'm doing to get a little excitement out of the spec

vestal wren
#

if you want to remove the command all together lmk

dawn heath
#

Feral is actually somehow worse than sin

midnight mist
#

Also pooling is useless now

#

Whispyr told me

vestal wren
#

else, happy assassinating

midnight mist
#

So you don't even have that

balmy condor
#

problem with removing it is that people would be confused why it isn't doing anything

midnight mist
#

There is no way this isn't the worse assa iteration ever

#

Or

grim jay
midnight mist
#

Ye I do it

balmy condor
#

at least this way it has a feedback to the command and give something to maybe help

#

good enough

midnight mist
#

Otherwise I fall asleep again

gusty mirage
#

maybe we put a disclaimer that it hasn't been updated a while or that it's only good for showing uptime of stuff?

grim jay
#

I do aswell

dawn heath

Yeah WoWA taught me nothing :x

Assa is indeed easy, somehow easier than ret and bm

I want to extend my sincerest apologies for my behavior earlier. I recognize that my actions—specifically the way I chose to engage with that new user—were inappropriate and disrespectful. Trolling, in any form, is unacceptable, and I deeply regret that I allowed myself to act in a way that may have caused him frustration or discomfort.

It was never my intention to belittle or mock him, but I understand that my actions had that effect, and for that, I am truly sorry. I take full responsibility and will reflect on this so it doesn’t happen again.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

how many garrotes and rup are optimal on hibrid build ?

grim jay

5 ruptures for max scent

#

And as many garrotes as you want

#

hi, what's the threshold for diminishing return on mastery & crit as assa rogue ?

balmy condor
#

not relevant

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

Can u guys enter wclogs

Or is it down

Guys, question...
For 10s is it better to play the Arterial precision & no Kingsband or Kingsbane biuld ?

plucky canopy
#

Bleed all the way

#

Hu, why is my name this strange colour?👀

gusty mirage
#

outlaw is higher on the role list

#

so if you picked it, you're stuck yellow

wide ibex
#

Any tips with energy management? I get some issues with energy during ST.. I just have to stay AFK for almost 20 sec

gusty mirage
#

sub is the top

#

so if you pick sub you become blue

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.

@midnight mist best assa iteration in raid, coming from sub i can still amazon shop inbetween 2 envenoms

earnest marsh
#

can you guys explain to me how sudden demise works ?

#

i dont feel like it does a lot

coral ibex
#

if a mob has 100 hp and your bleeds will do 150 damage the mob gets executed

earnest marsh
#

all bleeds combined?

coral ibex
#

yes

earnest marsh
#

so its worth to refresh bleeds even if its low hp

coral ibex
#

yes

earnest marsh
#

ty sir

balmy condor
#

it's not worth to refresh specifically for demise though

#

like it's just worth refreshing them like normal

#

you don't refresh bleeds just for sudden demise

normal mist

SD just... Happens

balmy condor

yeah

narrow sedge
#

hey, is this currently the best build in MM+ ?

balmy condor
#

yes

narrow sedge
#

after testing it, I found out that we have less dps on bosses and a bit more en AOE

balmy condor
#

other way around

narrow sedge
#

k. I guess you use shyv when your 3 bleeds are up and on CD then ?

balmy condor
#

you still use 2 for deathmark

narrow sedge
#

yeah ofc ^^

balmy condor
#

the other 2 between deathmarks you can just send, yes

narrow sedge
#

but on AOE packs for exemple, using deathmarks is a bit different

balmy condor
#

can hold a charge if you get close to 35%

#

you just slam deathmark onto whatever you're hitting

#

it's basically entirely a single target cooldown

nova aspen
narrow sedge
#

yeah, you gain a bit of poison spread but it's not that much

balmy condor
#

poisons don't do any damage even on hybrid

#

on hybrid they're just there to buff other things

u have to be a pookie to view though

hopefully u have the pookie role

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

balmy condor

I'm guessing you're talking about tiny toxic and not lightweight

#

and it's worth on everything that isn't named sprocketmonger

#

i see, but do i use it for getting poisions out or the damage buff with bleeds, and is there some kind of optimizinging?

you just use it like you did before

more shiv

this one is the same stealthi, good job

if you're bleeding other things it's more bleed

idk how else to explain this

sonic schooner
#

French wow is funny sometimes. I think german is even funnier sometimes garf_sit

it buffs like everything you would ever do in aoe

and then also makes shiv hit multiple targets, which is also damage
