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

it's like they heard feedback on fated seasons and said what if we just do that in the middle of a season

golden loom
#

Atleast crest cap is gone also

balmy condor
#

I'm gonna be real with you

red schooner
balmy condor
#

crest cap would've been gone by may 14th to begin with

red schooner
#

though this now means i can't just do my 8 m+ a week and then chill

golden loom
#

Yeah

red schooner
#

gotta get the gilded

golden loom
#

But the combo is nice atleast

rotund oak
#

this sureki champion dude still bugged

#

multibillion company type of thang

shy axle
#

ngl a little bit disappointed that you have to kill the boss to buy the item with a dinar

#

was hoping it would be like before

grave rivet
#

Ya and you apparently get 1 dinar a week, but each item costs 3 dinars, so even if the feature releases May 13th you wouldn't realistically get an item until May 27th

rotund oak
#

i dont care tbh,just fix it,i wanna gear up my ponytails

golden loom
#

Players can purchase Mythic and Heroic gear but will require the associated boss to have been defeated at least once in any difficulty to purchase Hero track gear and at least once in Mythic difficulty to purchase Myth track gear.

#

Also this

red schooner
#

Is there a dinar catchup or do we have to do this every week per char

#

I wonder how it'll work with alts and the boss kill requirements

shy axle
#

just do it again i guess

red schooner
#

Shit

rotund oak
# golden loom Also this

so in order to get the actual mythic track on house of cards i need to have killed the boss that drops it

#

aight?

golden loom
#

seems that way ye

rotund oak
#

on mythic diffculty

shy axle
#

thats what i understand from the wording, yes

rotund oak
#

thats some wild sht

shy axle
#

yep

rotund oak
shy axle
#

would have thought it would be like s4, one item, upgradable until max with that extra big path

rotund oak
#

nope,just blizzard things

red schooner

My hopes of a myth track jastor have been killed

#

Shot dead

Just kill boss

red schooner
#

Like I'm RFWL here if we CE at all its last week of the season kekdog

gray horizon
#

tbh i'm fine with the mythic requirement. Kind of tired of Blizz just handing out gear like crazy

earnest remnant
#

its about as hard as stix

spice spire

That's not good

viscid spear

VS warbound btw

subtle tundra

bruh people genuinely are upset you need to kill a mythic boss to get its mythic loot?

Is there a guide for mythic bandit

!up

royal lantern
#

its wow players

#

varas, wow players want the best items for no effort always

nova aspen
#

i play ur game blizzard, i want everything handed to me

royal lantern
#

like, i personaly think thats reasonable

#

the Bullshit part is the time

#

3 weeks for 1 item for something that comes that late is just insanity

brave comet
#

why is haste consistently simming higher for me than other stats?

rotund oak
#

get gated noobs

royal lantern
#

if it existed with the patch launch allready? yeha sure, 3 weeks is OK then

rotund oak
brave comet
#

is haste much more important now?

royal lantern
brave comet
#

i have 10.4k

humble trail
#

isnt haste like the worst stat

royal lantern
#

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

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

assa has no bad stats

subtle tundra
waxen oyster
#

haste has never been bad

golden loom
#

only bad stat is when your dagger is a int dagger and not a agi dagger garf_sit

waxen oyster
#

it was kinda meh in s1

#

if you had a sikran neck

viscid spear
waxen oyster
#

because that thing has a gorillion haste

waxen oyster
#

why use eye

royal lantern
#

the 2 main stats of rogue are Dexterity and Intelligence there

waxen oyster
#

just use mythic pacemaker

#

chat is he stupid

viscid spear
subtle tundra
#

idk man we boost mythic this only means sales gonna be big

#

everyone will want their first kill

golden loom

more gametime!!!

sounds like reasonable ppl

#

raiding sucks

royal lantern
grand trail
#

at what rank you endup this season

royal lantern
earnest remnant
#

same ish like 57

#

or smth like that

#

depending on which site you use for ranks

rotund oak
royal lantern
#

awwww

#

🍆

rotund oak
#

was waiting to that return

waxen oyster
#

ngl

#

i looked at my gear yesterday

#

none of it i got in raid

#

really makes you think

earnest remnant
#

so colour no raiding no more

waxen oyster
#

doesnt that happen in alot of guilds

#

because no one wants to gm

#

in a good guild

rotund oak
#

no one wants responsibility

#

good or bad guild

golden loom
viscid spear
earnest remnant
#

the amount of time you need to spend outside of the game

#

for the guild

#

is rediculously high

#

if you wanna be in a decent wr

royal lantern
earnest remnant
#

and it just never stops

#

even farm doesent slow down

royal lantern
near valley
rotund oak
royal lantern
#

like, if you want to be halfway competitive, its a nonstop job to be a RL

earnest remnant
#

ive got mad respect for Nox our gm/rl

#

it has been a blast raiding there, sad its gone but now we move on to find somewhere else to play

coral ibex
#

most hobbies where you can end up competing in a serious way require exponentially more time investment to maintain competitiveness

waxen oyster
#

but vault gains only

coral ibex
#

GM/RL is pretty unique tho

#

most other team based hobbies the responsibilities are shared pretty evenly

sonic schooner
#

Stealthi

#

become the new GM RL now

earnest remnant
#

tried being an officer once

#

not happening again

#

unless i can get away with only handling raid prep

red schooner
#

you don't willingly become guild officer. it gets thrust upon you against your will

nova aspen
#

stealthi enters the chat

red schooner
#

there is no raid leader who wants to raid lead.

#

it just happens

near valley
#

guild management is some soul sucking stuff at times

#

goes 10x if there is any drama too

rotund oak
#

to create issues on a team...

royal lantern
#

and then the 1 monk that ALWAYS complains about loot drops that one

#

like, i could not be a RL cus i would kick people 24/7 lol

red schooner
#

i couldn't be RL because I'm shit at conflict, I just wanna turn up to raid and vibe man

#

put some music on

#

stab boss

#

chill

radiant raven
#

Raid leading is exhausting

rotund oak
#

the exception to the rule

#

99.9% are sht at the game and toxic

#

reason i dont care to raid

near valley
red schooner
#

i'm shit at the game but i try to be chill so

#

its fine

spice spire
#

Same

red schooner
rotund oak
#

toxicity man

#

i cant take it anymore

#

instant gtfo of my life

radiant raven
#

Everyone should try leading a pug raid sometime just to see the incredible whispers you get imo

red schooner
#

i mean if i want drama i'd just go back to work on an evening and deal with the office politics and all that nonsense.

#

this is my free time let me vibe man

golden loom
#

working from home 4 days per week, got the office politics on wow while working basegcat

royal lantern
#

like, the endless chase to go higher is what makes people go dumb

red schooner
#

life is okay

#

only downside is prog never ends sometimes

#

straight from trying to kill queen into undermine

inland dirge
#

how else will i derive a sense of self worth

royal lantern
waxen oyster
#

i mean the only reason i hate rfwl is the fact

#

average rl at that rank is

#

insanely clueless

#

and tells you to do shit jobs

subtle tundra
#

if you get a half decent raid leader toxicity is never a thing

coral ibex
#

i just want to be at whatever guild rank is needed to not start extending on boss fucking 5

royal lantern
coral ibex
#

i fucking hate extending man

royal lantern
#

like, 80% are just there and use it as a jumping board for higher ranks

waxen oyster
#

yeah idk extending just kills my motivation

royal lantern
#

and you feel it

waxen oyster
#

to play

coral ibex
#

"hey what if all raid days were prog misery instead of one day for reclear"

waxen oyster
#

i’d rather be on farm for 4 months

coral ibex
#

who wants this

royal lantern
#

we extend this week poggers

waxen oyster
#

than extend 1

inland dirge
#

my wife divorced me because i didn't get a myth track dagger before we extended

coral ibex
#

whats wrong with farm

subtle tundra
coral ibex
#

you get to kill the bosses

royal lantern
#

fucking loser

subtle tundra
#

thats what i did in my first serious guild

#

i was begged not to leave

inland dirge
waxen oyster
#

Idk i just hate extending

#

i dont want to play the game when its 3-4 weeks of waiting for someone else to know what colors are

royal lantern
#

i love extending cus its when we do prog

but thats probs cus we play 2 days a week, so its kinda needed for a clear

subtle tundra
coral ibex
#

i benched myself on ansurek prog bc we had been extending for weeks and weeks and half the time we were wiping during LUST on PULL

#

every raid day just misery

waxen oyster
#

genuine question

rotund oak
waxen oyster
#

how are you getting deep on sprocket

coral ibex
#

i dont remember, i didn't want to remember

waxen oyster
#

and people still

#

fuck up the first colors

golden loom
#

cause sprocket

#

brain drains

coral ibex
#

i just could not handle

golden loom
#

thats the mechanic

coral ibex
#

wiping in lust on pull

#

and then the fucking warriors go ERM I NEED 90 SECONDS FOR MY CDS

waxen oyster
#

like

golden loom
#

the boss does nothing, so u just wipe

coral ibex
#

nothing is more tilting

waxen oyster
#

you stand in the middle

#

then you go left

#

or right

inland dirge
waxen oyster
#

its not hard

inland dirge
#

but i'm also redacted so

subtle tundra
#

reclear sucks cause you know youre wiping to something youve killed before and youre just wasting time

#

and i wont get loot

#

i never do...

coral ibex
waxen oyster
coral ibex
#

just kill the boss man

Honestly tho, I had such a good time on our first night of bandit prog, was just smiling for 3 hours

waxen oyster
#

i mean its always

golden loom
#

goofy dumbass boss

waxen oyster
#

the first one thats the worst

#

not even the swaps

coral ibex
#

very hard mech

subtle tundra
#

and people come prepares

#

and know the fight

coral ibex
#

gigantic colored words

waxen oyster
#

Yeah i mean those guilds usually

coral ibex
#

and text to speech

subtle tundra
#

crazy i know

coral ibex
#

telling you what to do

waxen oyster
#

dont extend for months

coral ibex
#

how do you fuck up polarity

#

after 3 pulls

waxen oyster
#

i think frankly if you take forever on farm

#

your guild is just

#

bad

#

and got lucky one attempt

#

on who got stuff

!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.

waxen oyster

also dratnos is thr worst person at explaining shit

#

ever

#

this mf yaps 99% useless crap

@coral ibex whoops!!!!!!!

coral ibex
brave comet
#

do you guys sit on the boss or switch targets on one armed bandit in mythic?

golden loom
#

hit boss

#

rupture snipe adds

brave comet
#

rupture snipe at 5-7 or at any?

golden loom
#

usually I refresh pandemic rupture on boss -> get bonespike combo points and send that on add

brave comet
#

so basically any

golden loom
#

ye

coral ibex
#

i just send whatever amount will result in it still being active when the mob dies

golden loom
#

another thing that feels good is after you proc DN to just fok for clear the witness and then send whatever u get on add

#

Guys, I don't really understand the current Deathmark > Shiv > Kingsbane window.

I've read that I have to Shiv in the last 8 seconds of the Kingsbane window. How does it work?

coral ibex
#

there's not really anything to understand

#

you just press shiv with 8s left on kingsbane

shiv increases kingsbane damage, the end of kingsbane is the most important part

#

so you want to increase the damage of the end of kingsbane

!stealth

#

WHAT IS THE COMMAND

#

!RESET

#

!chainpull

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

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

Hey guys not rogue specific but is there a buff you can activate this season for the raid similar to the one last season in nerubar palace?

yeah im goin to the logs hopefully that's it

#

I guess the fact I’m normally top dps in pugs without even using that buff speaks to how bad pugs are

lost wharf
#

We finish on 5cp except for Darkest Night. However if we have Super Charger from Shiv, we can hit the 7cp breakpoint with 5cp. Does it make sense to finish on 5 then or should we still go to max cp?

golden loom
#

Just see supercharger as extra damage instead of extra combopoints and build as normal

Evening lads. Are there Dungeos where you talent into Iron Wire just to make it more timeable in a Pug? If yes, which ones do you go into IW?

sharp hill
#

how much haste u guys running for just raid

coral ibex
#

whatever gear the robot says is best

#

i dont think about my stats for raid or m+

sharp hill
#

gotcha

#

feels so energy hungry so often, was curious if i should get more haste

coral ibex
#

that's just how the spec is

#

energy starved

dapper cradle
#

fasting helps curb hunger urges

lost wharf
sharp hill
royal lantern
#

like, its nothing

sharp hill
#

thought it helped with energy regen

royal lantern
#

10% haste is 1 more energy each sec

#

aka

analog pawn
#

!wa

royal lantern
#

10% haste is 1 mutilate a minte more

runic hinge
#

One mutilate a minute

rotund oak
golden loom
#

The real value is, low energy = less time casting spells = haste attackspeed giga insane value gain

sharp hill
golden loom
#

So haste + hit chance is very good cause white hits carry our raid dps

rotund oak
#

bro is so lost

#

u cooked him well

coral ibex
#

need to hit expertise cap too

fleet pagoda
#

does haste not benefit venemous wounds?

spice surge
#

Not really no

coral ibex
#

i usually reforge haste to expertise

spice surge
#

But you tick faster

#

So you get more, but the value remains the same per tick

rotund oak
#

its just VV that asks for haste iirc

#

pretty sure it was mentioned yday

arctic dust
#

Concerning the adds, how do you guys tackle Rik on mythic difficulty? Focus is said to be ontop of the adds whenever they spawn, switching to them from the boss however gets me in serious rotational problems with my Deathstalkers Mark -> Darkest Night. I think I will do more dmg overall PLUS to the adds when i keep focusing the boss and use the cleave of Caustic Splatter. Is that correct?

lean plover
#

!rik

#

Wtf

coral ibex
#

!richard

#

moroes is asleep

spice surge
#

Focus boss

vapid sierra
#

and then use caustic from the boss to damage them

#

rupture one for the agi % and energy on death

spice surge
#

You dont have scent in raid

coral ibex
#

if your tank wont drag the boss to the adds on bad spawns, you will just do no damage to the barrels

#

no way to change that

vapid sierra
#

is scent the oen that gives energy back too

lean plover
#

ofc you dont wtf

coral ibex
#

no

spice surge
#

The energy is from venomous wounds

#

The agi is from scent

vapid sierra
#

i see

#

my b

quasi pine
#

can anyone check my logs to tell me what i'm doing wrong on HM gallywix? I really dont see how to improve

golden loom
#

Send log bossman

arctic dust
#

thanks guys. Focus boss, maybe rupture an add to regain energy after its death. Sounds good to me

quasi pine
golden loom
#

Ye

golden loom
#

Right away spatter damage seems low

quasi pine
#

adds are dying a bit fast, do i need to focus only boss and spatter around? and just rupture some adds for energy in the meantime?

golden loom
#

Yeah adds do kinda get blown up so its kinda hard to padd, and yeah stay on boss

#

I didnt realize how awful logs is on mobile to check the cast timeline

wispy iris
#

!fuu

golden loom
#

But your deathmark sequence seems a bit off

#

Deathmark -> shiv -> KB is the order and after that just build and spend envenoms and shiv as the first shiv expires

quasi pine
#

i did my first shiv too late so

golden loom
#

Well its more that you did 3 mutilates and an envenom before shiv/KB

quasi pine
#

maybe use my first env before deathmark so i dont build one just after too, just realised that

golden loom
#

Yes

quasi pine
#

and then mutilate + env till the next shiv

golden loom
#

No you want envenom up before dm

quasi pine
#

trinket before deathmark? good to go? or after?

lean plover
#

!guides

#

ok commands are off 😦

golden loom
#

Ambush-> garotte -> (builder if needed) -> 5+ rupture -> build to 5+ -> envenom -> deathmark sequence

#

And u macro trinket to deathmark ye

quasi pine
golden loom
#

Ye

quasi pine
#

i'll see how it goes with that then

#

90 parse on Cinderbrew 12 with bleed build. I'm throwing out extra ruptures and garrotes during indiscriminate carnage during gather up, then I hit a Crimson Tempest once most things are gathered up. This usually amounts to 3-4x Ruptures and 4-5x Garrotes during each open with tricks of the trade on the tank.

And if you’re in a group it can mess things up

Delves have some ilvl scaling

But I don’t think sudden demise takes this into account. So you’ll have it trigger and the mob will still be alive

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.

How much damage do we lose on aoe going the bleed hybrid build that has more st or something along those lines with ma?

#

or was it ma

coral ibex
#

huh

#

bleed hybrid build?

bronze pike
stable pasture
#

oh maybe i misheard then lol

#

lemme scroll up

balmy condor
#

The confusion is you said bleed hybrid

#

Which are two different builds

#

So no one knows what exactly the build is you’re talking about

stable pasture
#

True ok

#

So im pretttyyy sure I heard talk of a bleed variant that sacrificed aoe for st, im probably dreaming

#

ignore

balmy condor
#

There’s a hybrid build that does that with forced induction

waxen oyster
#

It's copers

#

who think the st matters

#

take a 5% st gain for a 20% aoe loss

balmy condor
#

Ye I don’t really get it either

waxen oyster
#

makes about as much sense as blizz adding another 2 upgrade tracks

balmy condor
#

But it’s high key stuff

waxen oyster
#

nerfing an already easy tier

balmy condor
#

So just a different game

waxen oyster
#

yeah high key stuff matters in their 12

stable pasture
#

I'm only doing 16s but still feel like idk my st is so ass i need to do something but sacrificing 20% aoe doesnt make sense

waxen oyster
#

balmy condor
#

Yeh unironically swap specs lmao

stable pasture
#

I should practice it but erghhh

#

just long

waxen oyster
#

i mean sin still does like 1.6/1.7

#

its not that awful

stable pasture
#

i dont think i hit 1.7 unless i go into boss with cds

#

oh i got this from a delve?

stable pasture
#

even then idk

stable pasture
#

i think and it gives you

#

can you time a delve?

waxen oyster
#

idk if you dont go into a boss with cds

#

you get them during execute

gloomy heart
#

oh thats my first time timing a 11

#

rarely do delves

waxen oyster
#

its new as of this patch

balmy condor
#

Why wouldn’t you go into a boss with CDs

stable pasture
#

timings

#

feel like that's pretty normal sometimes

#

idk

waxen oyster
#

if you only get 1 cd use its probably more value

#

that your cds come up during execute

balmy condor
#

I mean if you’re just full mongo slamming it on cd

#

And not holding for bosses

#

Then yeah

balmy condor
#

That is pretty normal I guess

runic hinge
#

Me when dm

gloomy heart
#

LMAO

waxen oyster
#

kinda have to judge if you can get dm value

#

on that group

nocturne quail
#

playing bleed build im sending DM on pack before boss, and then pack not taking 2 mins so the not having for boss. I think is normal enough

waxen oyster
#

if your pack doesnt live 2mins

#

you're doing a low key

#

where the cds likely come back under 35%

nocturne quail
#

packs not taking two minutes on 16/17 for me bruh

#

@balmy condor is it worth to dry shiv at the end of lingering darkness window even if that means that we wont have 2 shivs for the next kingsbane

#

Bleed does damage without dm so yeha idk. Probably not necessary on packs unless something has to mega die

dreamy rover
#

we do or we not do

#

im talking about raid build btw i love this game

balmy condor
#

The whole thing of a dry shiv is that the shiv is better used in lingering than kingsbane

#

That’s the optimization

Whereas an extra 30% of the LD&Darkest Night envenom with an extra combo point from supercharger... Fuuuuuuuuuck

#

Line it up with 10 stacks of the set bonus and some amplifying poison and it's big numbers, way more than the extra 300k or so you'll get from the first 6 seconds of kingsbane

#

chat i saw my rogue leader foreverguy post a tweet about his weakauras and it said highlight deathmark at 1 stack to not mess up ur rupture

#

now idk what that means so i assume im not a min max knower

old lily
#

With the m+ bleed build, are you supposed to use shiv before 35% so AP is up when sudden demise triggers or do you yank it when the moves hit 30%?

nimble tartan
#

can someone help me ❤️

coral ibex
sudden brook
#

It's something personally I find useful to be mindful of cuz like

#

Lets say

#

0 tea charges, rupture is 13 seconds, you have like, 60 energy, and 1 stack of mark

#

If you envenom here, you brick on crits, theres a non 0 chance you literally can't build to a max envenom, and a 5+ to rerupture the target

waxen oyster
#

It's more of a

#

reminder for people who dont think ahead

sudden brook
#

So in a situation like that, it feels better to just wait for a bit for pandemic, rupture, and then go into envenom

#

ya

bleeders how much % haste you rock with, I think I overstimulated myself with haste today, went from 6% to 18% with craftned neck and myth legs

#

it might not be good cuz lost like 7% crit

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

sim

sim

buoyant herald
#

i sit at about 9%

royal lantern
#

sim

buoyant herald
#

but yeah it's not that relevant

royal lantern
#

the answer is always simming

buoyant herald
#

actually i'll put it this way - when i rip a top gear sim, the outcome is that im about 9% lol

nova shadow
#

I'm simming but everything sims rly similar ;d

royal lantern
#

well yeha, thats assa

buoyant herald
#

lol bro you're THIS close to understanding hahaha

royal lantern
#

stats dont matter much

nova shadow
#

I wanted to go for more ST and the difference is actually noticeable rookery last boss went from 1.4-5 overall to 1.8 last run

royal lantern
#

thats a general truth about the game for everything cus people LOVE to overthink secondarys like crazy

and even more for assa

nova shadow
#

but the crit mastery lose is noteable in aoe

royal lantern
#

with a boss that is 99% on timers?

fleet pagoda
#

and a damage amp monkahmm

nova shadow
#

I was playing rookery depleted for 7 secs cuz my st is horrific even tho I blast aoe, but I guess the real answer for assa is to play with ww/frost dk

#

and just timed it

#

on 14

royal lantern
#

assa does low boss dmg in m+

#

nothing changes that

#

ESPECIALLY not stats

#

you wont suddenly do giga boss dmg cus you got 3% more haste lol

buoyant herald
#

mmm going from 1.4 to 1.7 is kinda moot when others are doing 2-2.5m

nova shadow
#

Are you guys running crafted neck with haste/mastery

zenith smelt
#

When you get abush procs in bleed build does the ambush also give you mutilate posion stacks on the targets?

#

Guys, race change only works within the same faction right?

#

yes

copper shore
#

finally a run with a tank that felt right in everything. 4.17 average. I don't get high yet but I assume you need to be in 12+ to make bleed shine

I only do LFG though.

normal mist
#

bleed shines in every key

#

CT could have been higher but I tend to wait and time for add spawns to buff CT

CT should always be up

#

gonna try. Will focus it in next PSF

zenith smelt
#

When in your opener does you guys send Shiv? ambush - deathmark -shiv? on aoe or?

copper shore
#

but @spice surge percentages seem ok right like time right then SD should be high up if vanishes are timed right

nova shadow
#

I actually dissagree that ct should be higher

spice surge
#

Or wait, you dont deathmark immediately

indigo ginkgo
#

!up

spice surge
#

You apply your bleeds before

nova shadow
#

you never have time to spatter that much

spice surge
#

But yes you shiv right after DM

nova shadow
#

I usually open bleed everything mark shiv into offensive vanish and by that time you get to do 1-2 max 3 envenoms and you rebleed

zenith smelt
#

?

nova shadow
#

this works the best for me +14 keys

spice surge
#

It duplicates bleeds already on the target too

zenith smelt
#

So why woud you send it afther then?

copper shore
zenith smelt
#

aha

#

It does that to posions as well?

spice surge
#

yes

copper shore
#

I am old school so I tab a lot but platers show colors so I know

#

bleed spec also with knowing gives somehow time to do what next while bleeds are up

So am I missing something, or does nothing happen on bandit for melee

#

mythic bandit that is

spice surge

Correct

#

You have to bait the coins, and thats about it

waxen oyster
#

I mean I just finished sap's pov

#

and hes basically on boss start to finish

coral ibex
#

yup

spice surge
#

Yes

#

Thats assa on every boss

waxen oyster
#

I guess he hit one reel assistant

#

at the end

#

thats about it

#

i.e actually mutilated it

waxen oyster
coral ibex
#

baits on a random ranged and melee

#

aim at the door

spice surge
#

It shoots it at a random range/melee

coral ibex
#

well i guess you aim it wherever your RL says you aim it

waxen oyster
#

So you have to be facing a particular way?

coral ibex
#

we're sending all of ours towards the door

spice surge
#

Has nothing to do with how youre facing

#

Just where you are

coral ibex
#

no you have to position yourself between the boss and where you want the coins to go

waxen oyster
#

so basically just be positioned where your back is towards door?

#

if baiting them there

coral ibex
#

yea

waxen oyster
#

I'm guessing the electric circle and dispel debuffs

#

dont go on melee

dumb assa question. shiv + thistle tea. thistle tea's got a 1 minute cooldown. Use both of them on the kingsbane w/ deathmark, and 0 of them on kingsbane w/o deathmark?

waxen oyster
#

Conventional wisdom is you send 1 with each kb

coral ibex
#

you always generate a charge in sync with kb

#

so just use it

waxen oyster
#

ig slam a 2nd if boss about to die

#

XD

#

though the macro is tea on shiv

royal lantern
#

!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

royal lantern
#

use this and forget tea exists

waxen oyster
#

i just manual yeah

#

tea on the first dry shiv

royal lantern
waxen oyster
#

sometimes

royal lantern
#

only if people are watching?

stable cove
#

with bleed build in aoe do you prio sending out asa many rupture as possible or do you send like 5 then swap to envenom spam

waxen oyster
#

But really the only time you can "waste" tea

#

is ig if you proc it off feint

jaunty sparrow
#

okay so 1 per kb, rather than 2 per deathmark

waxen oyster
#

and theres giga downtime

royal lantern
waxen oyster
#

You have way too much energy during DM to justify slamming 2 teas in it.

royal lantern
#

like, spending 30years pressing fok->Rupture is ofc still not great

waxen oyster
#

Especially your opener one.

#

I guess you can kinda spend 2 if you managed to starve yourself before slamming 2nd dm?

jaunty sparrow
#

yea wasn't sure about the mastery buff and all

royal lantern
#

absolutely 100% perfect minmaxed tea

#

and "i dont macro or bind tea and only let the game auto use it" tea

#

are a 0,4% difference

#

its like, kinda a meme how little tea matters in WHEN you use it

jaunty sparrow
#

next dumb question. for anyone using lisonna's was, rupture has some extra text on it, rn in front of a dummy it says "+2 CP", I couldn't figure out what was meant by that from reading the aura itself, what's that supposed to signify?

#
