I’m gonna use the gif
Use it
that has nothing to do with haste, i literally explained it to you
your energy will no "surge" because you get 2more energy a second and your bleeds tick 0,2seconds faster
How much haste are you running on bleed build?
Whatever the sim says
!stats
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 This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec.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
Sims says weird things. It says, that items with haste are not an upgrade, but crafted same ilvl with haste is and upgrade.
Sims are reliable most of the time
crafted items are always 50/50 split on the stats too, drops are usually tilted toward one stat
Crit on both cases
Sims are run by birds which are not real. therefore sims are not real
Are we talking 0.00001% better / worse?
but birds are robots and sims are robots therefore birds have good sims
0.1 - 0.3%
muh parse
that 0.3% is all that's keeping me from pink parsing, trust
Just remembering to dry shiv is more than your gear swap
I thrust
PREACH!
but yeah, what royal said. it's margin of error territory so don't over rotate on it
just crit more
man they gotta remove parry from this game, or bring back dodge for ranged, cuz i'm going crazy
Thanks.
remove all crit from your gear and just git gud
crit is a bait stat
if you resim, it could not even be there again
REAL
?
yeah looked at the log, I gaslit myself apparently
just crit
Get a sub rogue in your raid group
i'm just malding when i cant be behind boss and they parry my big DN
i'd love to be the sub rogue but the cards arent destined to be mine
Oh that ... Thematic
wait
do you lose DN if they parry the applying envenom?
if you can play assa, you can play sub
yep
the specs are nearly the same at this point 
FUCK THAT'S WHAT IT IS I GUESS
well yes, but i cba playing sub with a 2min trinket
BRING BACK SHADOWDUST
Nty
shadow dust being gone is based
They need to make sub have less cds not more cd tracking lol
its not more tracking with sd
playstyle wise sub is in a good spot imo
Okay the spreadsheet they had says otherwise
double vanish shadowdust was peak fun
i would agree
but im on my hater arc, so no, sub should get more cds
it feels like a classic spec since
it was also fundamentally broken and was removed cus of that
current sin is infinitely closer to a classic spec than sub is
So true
if they stopped thinking they have a chance to tune 50 point talent trees when they struggled tuning 5 point talent trees
no
they could make it worse
Sub is the most broken spec by default.There is no other spec in the game that can tap into so much power by pressing dance.Its crazy how extreme sub can be
you talking about assa or abot 99% of specs in wow?
in that case I'm not sure where my mark goes sometimes (like, 1% of the time)
oh a spec is hard to tune because we overcomplicate things, lets just make it bland af
do you have a specific example?
it wasnt really that broken though
also true,we kinda try to milk everything so that complicates stuff alot
but by default
as a spec
pressing dance
is extreme
Having more points to tune makes it easier. Not harder.
nah, it just happens sometimes, I even made a DN tracker WA to make sure I'm not just running out of time on it
it was
get the League of Legends brainlet thought out of your head that "broken" means "its overly strong"
it was broken because they made a CD burst spec and then gave it 100% customisable CD windows, which translates into "no matter the situaton, you will always be bursting perfectly"
which is like
holy shit
you cant desing around that at all
literally everything would slowly become "allright and what are we doing with sub rogue here?"
tryan throwing knuckles sheeeeesh
yeah man
SL Sub
Hey sorry to ask this if it’s been asked before, I’ve tried searching everywhere and can’t find a clear answer
Are we spamming envenom or only refreshing it? I’m guessing we pool energy when we are under 50? But I can’t find anything to back that up.
I’m following rotations but my parses are shit and this is the only thing I can think of
DF S2 sub
gloomblade 
wow classic rogue peak
i hated sub after the rework
!fok
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
just spamm, its not really something you minmax for
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
the shizo hitting hard
it wasnt a very complex spec but it was a vibe as fuck
never had more fun
p sure you also get evis in there, SND lasts long enough
but they showed us the least amount of fun ever with the launch state of 1x shadowdust at launch haha
Gloomblade 
personally I think shadowdust was interesting because it actually made Sub use Vanish in combat, which makes sense
after my initial garrote and rupture falls should i vanish to reapply them?
did we even use gloomblade before the rework
always fun when muscle memory applied fighting mobs in open world
design issues aside, I don't think sub needs Vanish like at all right now
pvp only iirc
which is weird esp with how other specs do use it
was niche
nah, was played 10.
might have skipped idk
have a nice night peeps
yo, what sniping rupture means?
god i hate concentration cost sometimes
"5skill? thats 30% of your concentration bozo"
when a mob is about to die u press rup on it
to get energy back
too much outlaw in you fam
just pop that stupid paper in, I have tons lying around somehow
we need to perform the dagger ritual on you
average
I am so sorry for your friend
never feel sorry,the man made a choice
My guild is deff heading in this direction
we're like 120ish or something with no signs of life
Why is there a dps difference in the order of trinkets?
margin of error
there is no difference
mate, that "difference" is not even in the 0,1% range 
I was just wondering why it considers the order at all
Like why are those 2 seperate sims
They’re doing it on purpose to hurt you
its not a big thing but i got my first 100 Log ever today on normal Vexie! Im a bit proud of myself :3
Playing my Rogue since i started with wow in DF, last season 7/8 Mythic, i really feel my improvment over the time!
Thanks to this awesome Community and the best (and cutest) Guidewriter/Youtube Creator / Twitch Streamer / Assa Rogue Whispy ❤️
love you guys so much
gz man \o/
Grats bro massive
Thanks!!! <3
congrats max!!!! i am 670 ilevel and i will queue normal for the first time in weeks just to take that spot from you out of respect for your commitment to the game to make sure u keep striving for greatness
do that ! i will take the throne back when we clear normal again :D
The fallback conditions for trinkets is that it will use the top slot first
Gratz!
ty ❤️❤️
watching the raid do stix, boss is on 1%, last two balls run into each other instead of the boss and time out
rip
Well if all my things lock in
5/8 bosses have 99s this tier
Also gratz !!!!
ty ❤️❤️❤️❤️
is there a reason ppl who delay burst on Stix for 38 sec dont do dry shiv after, is it just bad timing oor smth else
it comes up as he's landing after air phase
i mean i made this conclusion using a few top parses on lorrgs, might be wrong
i try to avoid going in dry
and sometimes it doesnt align
how do you guys get a bleed build role?
If that doesn’t work lmk
I’ll manually add it

with every pull i watch, the more happy i am that i ain't on stix prog
sometimes
life is okay
stix is not a fun rogue boss no no
Me with mythic
Mythic is fun, stix, pain
Im just gonna keep my goal of getting 8 99s on hero
stix is not a fun rogue boss no no
Depends on who you play with
I like stix as sub to be honest.
Cause w the guild im in
Most likely we will get 4/8M or smth
Like we spent a whole night and couldn’t reclear
But we have done reclear before, lots of people were just off speccing
if i had HoC instead of Transmitter i would say the same
Collect buff
I do kinda wanna push but idk how to find a group
Plus
BM might be the worst hunter spec atm from what I’ve seen?
Cause I think it and surv are p close
i tanked a +12 ToP with my VDH today and i only saw MM Hunter apply
alot of MM Hunters
Well MM is better and also ToP is the best dungeon for MM
"rupture sniping is bad" "rupture sniping is trolling" feelscraft wins once again
ah well
mm is hype in top
oi
soemthing liek that
dont know
except for volley and explosive shot but neither of those are big damage
craft OH dagger or continue to wait for one from keys and craft a cloak or boots or somethin
I’m p sure
Aimed shot + rapid fire can only hit up to 6
What
Brother
yeah trick shots is like 6 hard cap
do not double craft dagger
have they giga buffed it or something
bad plan
bc i remember it barely being worth pressing
It’s one of the reasons they are so varied
figured, just sitting on a 629 cuz not a single one has dropped for me lmao
hey, with VV talented, we do not FoK for last CP for DN on ST correct?
4pc says smth like
“Lock and load (auto attacks have an 8% chance to make your next aimed free and instant) also fires an explosive shot at 300% damage”
And if there is already an explosive shot on the target both get the 300% buff
ye
oh well thats cheating
How so
no cheaters allowed
How is it cheating big man
Sure buddy
back in my day we had ethical non explosive shot tier
Bro why tf did I swap off Ass
It’s good like every tier ffs
and explosive shot sucked
but you had nothing better to take so you took it anyway
Lmao
assa learned its lesson from the pi debacle
Lmao
Offhand is your least valuable slot stat wise
did they change anything in sims i feel like simming less than week before 😄
for stealth build do I vanish at 6 sec left of my cds and refresh garrotes and ct?

ah missed that thanks
I want to get 3k io


I need my job to change
thistle tea
Ye, offhand is just a weak slot, better sending gilded elsewhere normally
A 45 minute commute each way means I don’t get much time on weekdays to play and I have wack hours so I can’t play with guild. And now it’s spring so I gotta golf on the weekends
Train Stuart to play rogue
We trust in Stuart
but just like
do one key and don't fail

then u get some io
can somebody help me i have the thistle tea/shiv macro and its not working for me
i hit shiv and thistle tea does not go up
Do you have any thistle tea in your bags or bank?
Yeah I’m working on it
i just got rid of them at first it was using the extras i had but now its not hitting any of the 3 charges it comes with
@runic hinge

Question for yall: Ive been doing some sims and its showing the old vanish build is ahead for me. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/p2iApz8kS84R1vdidM1UBX
yep
Is there something, I am missing?
wot in tarnation is cleave add
Yeah I seen it, I just want sure if I messed up my sim some how.
VV better when there’s adds cause it’s tiny bit more caustic ?
I mean not on cleave add im ngl
Oh
Only reason I did with adds is because my guild will be on bandit.
Whispyr is here 
I've probably spent more hours on raidbots than in raid and idk wtf cleave add is


One arm bandit has more adds on mythic or am I just looking at it wrong.
Ohhh
yes but you don't know what you're simming is the issue
cleave add very specifically is 1 add with around 60% uptime throughout the fight
it doesn't model bandit at all
Simming a fight > actually doing it
this might be a weird question but how much do optimal substats matter? should i even bother flexing to assassination with primarily verse/mastery gear from sub?
Ah, I get what you mena,

not much
gotcha, thanks y'all!
so the thing is, with how assassination plays, we just sim 1 target patchwerk for all the fights, and then infer our way from there depending on the fight since we can't directly (and probably shouldn't) try to sim fights
VV is better in execute for example because of blindside
so playing it on bandit/mug'zee which have non-trivial execute phases
is probably better
Thank you for the information.
VV does more spatter damage too
guys when i am on Vanish in Single Target, do i spam Ambush or Improved Garrote ?
garrote is a dot
you don't use ambush outside of blindside or applying dm
overwriting it would be an issue
huh 
ofc you do
has that changed?
ambush during subterfuge?
ye
ye, what's the issue with that?
nothing, didn't realise it was better than mutilate now
when was that not the case
oh I guess mutilate was better than ambush in amirdrassil
so it be good with: Imp Garrote -> Ambush -> (Last second Subterfuge) Again Imp Garrote ?
sure that's fine
broken logs, broken augs 
ty
good times
whenever i check my dps parses im like solidly 50% of rogues
mad average
but im like bottom 30 of my ilvl
what is this tragedy
don't worry about ilvl parse
im ok with being mad average but damn bottom 30% is right to the e-peen
Ignore all the of the enchant and gem combinations. But I finally got to the point where 2 fully upgraded myth track rings is the same as a cyrces. https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/oaTkLSQv48cnYkScTCuCEU
haven't played in like a week. bleed build still good? my st just feels bad in M+ and idk what to do
Hero house of cards simmed lower than my current trinket setup, and I'm very confused.
Is it cause it's 1.5 cd and DM is 2 min?
bleed still good. if boss is dying before you can press DM a second time with execute it'll feel extra bad but your key won't be in danger
well, to be fair, you have no idea if my key will be in danger
just curious whats everyones mythic rating here
if bosses are dying in under 2 minutes then boss damage won't be the barrier to a timed 
im assuming everyone here is really high just due to the server being biased to people seeking to do better
im 3k in chess and in m+
you can only speak here if you are high rated in m+ (1k+)
bro out here higher rated than magnus carleson
its crazy how magnus cant climb to 3k himself because everyone else is too shit compared to him
he gains nothing when he wins and tanks mad point losses when he loses
thats my little brother lol
hes not 3k
magnus omarsson
ye 2837 I think
thats what google ai told me so thats my story and im stickin to it
and in a mad losing position
and magnus was drunk af
and he took one look and was like "dafuq let me take over"
many people here aren't as good as you think they might be
Yeah like me
i know how bad i am surely people cant be worse
@ me next time
wtf
Would it be bad if I just stacked as much master as I can?
wouldn't really be good
it would be hype though
ye kinda based tbh
are there certain breakpoints I bneeda meet or somethin?
nah
do you know how to sim?
thats prob the best way to figure out what gear to put on
how much lower

Am I tweaking or did you add a target condition to ctw when using VV to your wa pack?
I did
Goat
How should dmg breakdown for M+ look like with bleed build?
just a psa, the temp control in my apartment is still broken so its 78 degrees in here and im fried
Nice good shit
Is CT pandemic in?
yes
Okay I update
Tbh I thought the WA was imploding since I kept changing between MA/imp gar and VV like 10 times in 20 min
anyone peep dh sims btw? they're def smokin'some good shit over there
its actually wild lmao
like completely unreadable to a human idk how they maintain it
they're doing like gcd math and shit in there shit is crazy
you can't convince me anyone plays like that
unironically havoc sims might be the least human
also

no no no
Bro thought he was out
how's elusiveness on one armed bandit?

guys am i macroing house of cards to deathmark
good
wtf did whispyr run a whole ass top gear sim to make this guy stay in circlet prison
yes
How does this make sense? would this suggest I have just hit a dr on mastery? im talking about the crit mast + dawnthread being worse then vers haste, duskthrread
thanks
you'll almost always hit a DR on your "best" stat, it's how much value it retains into 1st, 2nd, 3rd DR levels etc
Hold my beers
looks like it's enough to make other secondaries more appealing
my sims want me to enchant rings with cursed vers for example 🙃
lol. yeah i actually havent simed enchants for assa. but im able to gear both outlaw and assa at the same time, very well
which is awesome
as you can probably tell i also play a bit of both
but im into myth prog stage where i can't play HO trick anymore so
here we are, chasing the mastery dragon i'd previously been dodging like the plague
but now i have too much 😂
I just play KiR tbh. might swap to ho as well. had one pull on stix where I got 2nd, but sadly we a guildie just ran into a bomb -.-
im not a HUGE KiR fan tbh
rly?+??? damn. I cant picture myself playing HO tbh
and assass is more brain off for mechanic heavy fights
is having secondary stats good for assassination?
no
in the bleed build for M+ , which i have both <blindside> and <Thrown Precision>,do i use Fan of Knives on 2+ or 3+ targets ?
No. Reject secondaries embrace agility

You’re welcome
np
it really is. where outlaw is the COMPLETE opposite
so im assass on sprocketmonger
Losing death mark on rik reverb is annoying
then OAB and mugzee has meaningful execute
and spatter in the cages
so assass looking good for the next wee whjile
for me
im just fatebound on sprocket
can someone tell me whats wrong with this
are we being marked out of 10
oh
shiv before evenom and shiv before kingsbane
shiv before deathmark too id imagine
*after deathmark
i mean
if you want actual advice post a log in !log
seeing a random screenshot of details
how can i post my log sorry
doesnt help
@balmy condor did you hear about official old school maplestory
is that a thing you care about
!logging
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
nope not that
I have to manually thread them here
you should be using spatter over IB for that fight but otherwise there's not enough info to help, we can't see abilities below IB

Details tells nothing
Logs tell all
i mean it would tell us if he'd forgotten to hit DM entirely
i know there's a command for how to post logs as well
Not in this channel

Getting Started with Warcraftlogs https://www.wowhead.com/guide/how-to-use-warcraft-logs-6341
Logging your combat is a very powerful tool, and the main way of finding mistakes and improving yourself. Logging your raid, mythic+, or even just when you hit a dummy can be great way to learn!
Here's some common things to look at for rogues:
Checking your resources/overcap: Table -> Resources -> Energy/Combo Points from the dropdown
Buff Uptime and trigger amount such as adr/envenom/symbols: Table -> Buffs
Checking casts: Timeline -> Casts (shows sequencing) or Table -> Casts (for cast overview)
Ty
should you spend cp into first boss flood or just spend envenom into the adds
is there a macro for whetstone anywhere?
It’s like classic wow I guess. Will bring in a ton of old heads craving a nostalgia hit, it’s a completely different experience so like cool I guess
I don’t really care for it
i see
one of my buddies has been playing old school maplestory private servers for years
Yeh
so he's pogging big time rn
There’s definitely a market for it
trying doesnt work
is it pre big bang?
I’m more hyped for the new class and all the QoL they announced
Yes

i could never get into maplestory
when whispyr maplestory guides
Back to the days of 20 minute flights between regions just to get ganked by a balrog and die
God bless
I mean technically already did for my friends but they’re all spreadsheets
okay you dont need to call me out like that
"actions.ar+=/soul_cleave,if=!buff.reavers_glaive.up&(variable.double_rm_remains<=(execute_time+(action.reavers_glaive.execute_time+action.fracture.execute_time+action.soul_cleave.execute_time+gcd.remains+(0.5*gcd.max))))&(soul_fragments<3&((buff.art_of_the_glaive.stack+soul_fragments)>=20))" 
So simple
is the opener in the stealth build the same as in the no stealth build? i have just been doing, ambush, 2x garrote, 2x rupute, garrote. and so on.
no stealth build, what's that
If you don’t have a buff and some variable that checks the duration of a buff is less than the time it takes for fracture and soul cleave to hit, plus the gcd remaining until you can cast, plus half of the gcd
And if that’s try and you have less than 3 fragments and your art of the glaive buff + your fragments (which is between 0 and 2) adds up to 20 or more
Then cast soil cleave
that is just the induction one

!craft
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

can you precloak rockets on gallywix to not get assigned?
why does the balrog one shot you on the ship @balmy condor
why wouldnt it
bruh that's like if you're just on the airship to tirisfal from org and deathwing just shows up and puts you in the dirt
it builds character
Idk can’t remember
But I think so
Yeah except the zep tirisfal from org has the same cadence
But the zep doesn’t take 20 min
:)
that's some good shit man
i love old games
they just kick you in the teeth for no reason
alt rogue here - can craft 2 675 daggers and one 658 off piece or a 675 dagger, 658 offhand and 675 off piece - any suggestions?
unsure how important off hand damage is
cool, thanks guys
uhh question, when is the ideal time to pool for energy? just for yor cds?
- Energy just is low on the spec there's nothing to do about it, you will run out
- Only one pooling condition exists (pool around 4 seconds before non-deathmark kingsbanes until 150ish energy). This is worth 0.3%
- Other optimizations are simply not impactful enough to show a benefit in sims, but pooling before quick-dying add spawns could in theory be a practical gain to pad.
bet ty
Are yall swapping you CS to adds on mythic reverb?
!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.

he 2 gud

Hey its me ya boi back with another stupid question...
Is there any way I can tweak my talents to be able to ramp up quickly for add damage on Gally? They dont tank them up by Gally for whatever reason
I feel like i know the answer already but...
!richard
@balmy condor surely you can sim something for me cuz i am giga busy rn, right?

I’m bowling but uh
Sure maybe?

surely you have nothing better to do than run sims for other peopple

Whispyr trying to get that water sponsorship with a bowling team
ok i got my logs for one armed bandit
can please someone check it
i am doing horrible dps for bosses
170M
what am i doing wrong ?
kingsbane only work depends on shiv ?
Kingsbane depends on you applying poisons
which is ?

the choice node with internal bleeding
ah i see i got this build from icy veins
Boss specific builds in the wowhead guide
but it's also hard to see what you're doing wrong without a link to the log
But you should run caustic on every boss that isn’t lockenstock
that screenshot doesn't look like a kill?
i tried to get a link but i didnt know how exactly
just copy paste the url
oh normal, that's why the casts look different
then you should check opener and read your talents
Practice on training dummies Im not kidding
keep doing that
and itll click somehow
No you didnt, Kingbane was your 5th global, and you used desthmark 20 seconds after
Shmeeps has better gear than you and he hasn’t logged in since February
but idk how the rotation has changed this patch so someone else can sort you out
It hasn’t
but I know enough to know that opener ain't right
Its your 2nd day as assa, watch/read guides, and go practice at training dummy
oh I actually do 
do u have a good guide or vid ?
cant expext to watch a video and suddenly play the class perfectly
pretty much wowhead for everything

will all of your needs
Wowhead/icy veins guides should be good
Come back after you hit dummies for one hour
i wil check wowhead guide
i will work on that tomrrow 4 am already

not the best time to study rogue xD
I stg I hit dummies for like one hour a patch during df and now I’m very average
So think you could be as good as me in like 4 hours
the idea is
lol gn
i played monk and warrior without guides and i was going top 5 dps in heroic
thats what scares me
i know those classes
way sooo ez
rogue is pretty easy, but it does require some conceptual knowledge
about how stuff interacts
it won't take long to get it down
tbh i used to play rogue on most mmo games but in wow it sacres me idk why
If you just keep dots up and dm>shiv>kb you’re like 80% of the way there
what's the fattest dry shivs you goobers are hitting
On vexie or no amp?
outside of damage amps
Hmm. I’d have to look
13m
but thanks guys i will read the guide very well and go f**k the dummies i will be back with the feedback tomorrow
Hell yeah

costco 'tiss goes hard af
well done soldier
I’m tryna play feral Druid alt
feral just feels like
can someone take a look at my rik kill and give any pointers? the other rogue we got just gapped me by a lot, idk how. seemed like most of our casts were same number but it was just a huge difference in damage
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Q3H7FaGmTP4R2ydL?fight=33&type=damage-done&source=18
feels miserable to manage bleeds compared to ass
you get a fat dopamine spike every 2 mins withconvoke
Gotta pool to build and pool to spend. It’s so sick
u kinda stopped doing damage at the end of the fight for some reason
But wait! You take a talent so your bleeds are off every 3 seconds
i died at the end thinking i had evasion to stand in the amp thing or w/e
That will do it
feels like he was gapping me through the whole fight tho
his caustic was higher i think, but feel like was doing things properly
was the death really it? i feel like i did so bad whole fight
an entire round of CDs in execute is massive
you actually had better GCD management and got more casts off
of basically every ability
yeah the breaking news that dying is bad for dps is a bit stale lol
they crit 48% of their envenoms though and you only crit 31%
so you kind of just got edged out by RNG for more of the fight
then lost like
all of your damage
in execute
cuz deadge
damn, i was thinking the whole i was doing it all wrong and griefing myself
i mean look at this execture burst from the other rogue
it's like 50% higher peaks than any other time in the fight including blood lust
accounts for an enormous amount of damage
fuck me then. i did grief myself with no evasion but i guess other than that i did alright
does anyone know which of whispyrs videos discuss sin in M+? been playing with it the last 2 days and find i'm struggling with it. Wowhead guide gives me the jist but I find things click with me better with video guides.
every week i did play a diff spec, first sub then outlaw and now back to sin
.
ty for the help tho, appreciate it a lot

i'm struggling with my energy management. I find i'm often low energy and my thistle teas are being auto used so when I get into cd's I don't have much energy and no teas. Also finding tanks are chain pulling a lot and I can't get back into stealth so spreading bleeds is difficult.
in single target, your energy is going to stink
that's just how the spec plays
restealths are a lot less important than you think, and you can often drop combat by staying away from the new pack until the old mobs die out
or, if more than one mob gets chained in, just use the energy refunds from the current ruptures to manually spread bleeds on the new targets
I was playing sub for a long while so maybe i'm also just hitting buttons too fast and blowing my energy quickly. Haven't touched sin since last patch and its not feeling like it was last patch. also just rusty. I just did a cinderbrew 10 at ilvl 668 and only did 2.76m dps overall.
the main thing is getting as many bleeds out as possible in AoE
yeah thats what I was wondering. I was trying that but was having a hard time reacquiring my initial primary target.
that saturates your energy and you basically can't run out
idk the ins and outs of the bleed build now except that it doesn't have KB but I'd imagine the general concepts are the same
probably less strict because you're not managing that CD
in a +10 mobs are probably dying pretty fast
so just by the nature of assas being a dot class, you're going to do less damage
it doesn't have KB? interesting. I am using the spec on wowhead.
until mobs can live long enough
WoWhead has been updated
idk when this all happened
but either way
concepts are the same
spread a bunch of bleeds then hit CDs on a big guy
Pins are always a good peek too
so bleed is now better for like 10s?
i have no idea
fair enough. The DH in my group was doing 3.91m, druid 3.16m and like I said I was doing 2.76m The keys I was doing last night was generally similar. I couldn't finish about 3m while others were like 3.4-4m overall. I was usually able to keep myself just at or slightly below 3m on sub and was hoping by switching to sin I could keep up better. Sub just seems to be struggling to keep up damage as the key progresses, and archon is showing sin overall performing better damage (in raid at least).
i think it's just better period
yeah in low keys dot classes just take a long time for their damage to ramp. Like even if crimson tempest is going to do 500m damage in a pull over 12 seconds, but your other dps kill the pack in 5s, there's really no way for you to squeeze any more damage out of there
I'm sure there's things you could be doing better as well, but without seeing a full dungeon log
That’s what bleed build is for
it's kind of hard to know
Sudden demise goes crazy
last night I was doing 12-13 and was still about 2.7-2.9m dps overall.
did a motherload, priory, and floodgate
if you can find a dungeon log or a clip it would be easier to tell

he has a cast tracker thing it looks like
idk how helpful it would be
don't think anyone was logging but i'll run logs next time.
depends on how you like to learn stuff
i'll check it out. thanks! I definitely learn better from watching and listening to someone explain things. Reading a wall of text my ADHD brain is like "Whats this blur of stuff?" lol
oh he doesn't explain anything in this, it's just group comms
but there's probably some knowldge to be gained

I am looking for some direction in M+, is there a number of mobs that I should break away from focusing caustic spatter damage and just spam crimson temp?
I am parsing around 3.4-3.7 overall, but I feel like I should be doing way more than that
that is with a tank pulling roughly 3-4 packs that have around 3-6 mobs per pack
I am 667 ilvl, 23k mast, 12.4k crit, 3.5k haste, 3.6k vers
Ct is a dot
as soon as i read that last line i knew in my heart of hearts that i'd see this before long
time to unequip circlet
I got big haste mini wheel so I flip every time
nice! unequipping circlet feels like you've finally grown up or something
hmm... thanks for the help.
Thank you.
does pressing ambush vs mutilate with a blindside proc do anything like the weird thing with outlaw or does it not matter
general question, if i craft an item say wrist, and i get a drop for wrist. I should be able to upgrade to same level without crest righ?
Yea
‘Tis tradition
I must post gif the same way a bird must fly south for the winter
Just start asking for log ins and just play for them.
28.719% crit ooooooo no can do bud you’re gonna wanna recraft and get that back up to 29.3 AT LEAST
I see the problem, you didn’t crit
I would’ve crit there
It's that easy
Fuck it. Boss dead
It's fine next time you'll get it twice in a row
We ball
we use clear the witness in raid build with 2+ target right
true, next time is mine to shine, for sure

so how do i work on my energy regen on single target i feel like i stay starved
!energy
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.

@balmy condor yo
oh ye, just wanted to say what's up
Oh
Not much
Bowling like absolute ass
First game was 227, second game I can punch out the back 6 for a 180

dude i thought bowling alleys were dead but that shit is so pakced its crazy
Covid really got all of the millenials out for the boomer sports
Golf courses and bowling alleys
goin crazy these days
golf is simaltaneously the most fun and most frustrating game ive ever played
It's cuz you can't blame anyone else
it a lot of sports u can just be like "damn they're really good, just got outplayed unlucky"
but golf is like, do the simplest thing imaginable
hit ball with stick
and your body is like "nah"
yeah its also that like one shot i hit perfectly, the next is a complete shank and im like whyyyyyyy
"imma throw it in the water"
just constantly chasing that feeling of the good shot
washed
Update, I did not punch out for 180



166 new goal
why alchemical chaos instead of mastery pot?
because sim bigger
ahhh
👍
so we just blindlessly listen to a robot? lol jkjk
Mastery flask nerfs your potion
You just remove your best stat from your potion for no reason
ohhhhhhh that makes sense. Didnt think about that
Lol ty for fixing the sim. Not out of cyrces jail yet, but it is close
I made the vers/mast neck for sub and sin but i might as well recraft it to haste/mast now. Kinda gave up on sub, still no HoC 😦
nope there's no ambush bug with sin
just law
Wait why is my haste vers is simming so high
Probably because you have a lot of crit mast
aren't those our stats?
here we go
Please
Okay, if you do 1000 damage, and you can increase that by 60% and then multiply it by 10%
im already lost
ew maths
Is that better or worse than multiplying by 70% and 0%
ty friend
just tell me what stat to use mr funny sim man
for a real answer, stats are never as simple as "stack x and y, avoid a and b" - the general rule is that the more you have of one stat, the more value the others gain in comparison to more of that same stat
Or you can think of a fence
here we go
lmfao
you reckon he's gonna follow that up or just tell us to think of fences while he goes and does something else
is lfg broken? i cant list someone elses key or my key at a diff level
am i multiplying the fence by 70%
thats not a fence
Which more area
Bottom fence more area
Cause length and width are more balanced
Dps
Area
Which more dps
speaking of balanced, check this shit out
Bottom stats
Cause stat A and stat B more balanced
Or you can think of it like a burrito
Burrito is mostly rice
But no beans? Bad
ok i like this analogy best
beans make me gassy though
apparenltly agility makes me gassy
i hope you get banned soon
You can’t just make a burrito with rice and chicken and then close it up
i never had a burrito
They fill it rice so they can put less meat in. Smh.
That’s a bad burrito
So just sim every single piece i have in my inventory to find the right balance between guac and beans and a little bit of rice
Ye
just ask whispyr to sim it for you
Is there a special sim?
sim the sin
yeah he has the secret sauce
@balmy condor sim for me
special guidewriter secrets they hide from the plebs, yes
truth be told now
speaking of sims ive been wanting to troll a bit on outlaw but holy fuck trying to get rid of mastery is hard

i think you're stuck on like 2k ish minimum just from tier bits
ok i have like 30% though
dont get rid of mastery, use it to play arcane, or sub, or monk, or idk anything
after swapping gear
what are the best burrito fillings
pickled jalapenos
toes
outlaw just be bad with stats still and now have a haste tax on top of it
The tongues of my enemies
Ok lets see
im currently siting at 1.8 with current combination with 660 item level lets see
How much the sims increases my dmg
1.8?
yes

1.8
In… a raid build?
