no
no, offhand has the least amount of stats and doesnt affect ability damage, you should craft anything else
ah okay thanks for the tip then I craft a cloak or someting

I love it, finally
Just watch they'll make deathmark parryable instead
Balance in all things
every time kingsbane got parried on progress bosses I wanted to immediately jump off the nearest ledge (in game?)
Hey guys, is bleed build competitive in 12/13 pug ?
yes
The difference is, less ramp ?
I mean deathmark is still the only offensive CD that is only on (one) enemy and poofs if they're gone, so we got that design choice to balance things out
Happened to me 2 pulls on a row on queen. Almost logged out for the night
oof, had it happen a few times on queen, one time because one tank overaggro'd the other and boss turned around early
any gamers mind taking a look at a m+ log of mine on bleed? not sure if I'm over garroting/rupturing in mass aoe situations during IC windows. feel like on lower keys I do better (obviously because less pressure/less risks of dying etc), and would like to know how to best deal with such situations if possible
Yeah when used with indiscriminate carnage.
Applies the silence onto every mob hit with it
sweeeeeeet
sorry for sleeping
@ Whisper
What is the average parse we can expect when using the rotation helper in game addon?
grey logs
Rotation helper as in Hekili?
Absolute dog shit parses. Smooth brain, extra chromosome, flat earther, chemtrail tier parses.
I know your awake
Rotation helper as in the one button thing blizzard are adding
I can smell you
Oh, that may be better - but we don't know yet do we
I have doubts
But, we'll see
My raid leader has already said if he catches anyone trying it in raid they're getting immediately benched 
Hoooold up,is that just going to give a single button to spam and it'll pick the spells for you?
Can you edit the rotation of spells it does?
Yes
But with a slight GCD delay
Hahaha yeah I'm rolling ret pala, Let's goooo
No clue yet
Might be equal to manual play Tbf
Considering we are humans and will make mistakes
This button will not
Just for a 0.2 sec delay
Absolutely no way will that be allowed.
Ret Pala already has the rotation helper, every button you need to hit fucking glows 
But that means moving my fingers from one button to another.
If I can just spam a side button on my mouse...
I mean i dont see the issue if they give you this button but increase mechanical intensity
On mobs/bosses
Even better, bind to mouse wheel up/down
I see the issue, the game becomes 'dodge the mechanic' and not 'learn your class'.
I had a tank we raided mythic before who actually constructed a 1 button macro
That actually did his whole rotation on 1 button
What a hero
I reckon I'd bind it to A & D and just vibrate on the spot.
Either way, the rotation helper will be dogturd.
Legit I'm terrified that several people on my team will just toggle it on and try to hide it
Some people need it for sure
i feel for tanks its pretty fine
esp like prot warrior, feels like they are just pressing what glows most of the time - maybe im wrong
the gcd increase is pretty brutal to be fair
.2 seconds aint it
I think 0.2 probably less impactful for casters and stuff
but man
outlaw with +0.2%
im sure if we use the one button in DM push, we miss out on one charged kb hit
they could've honestly just slapped a 10-15% damage done reduction on it and it would've been the same thing
I mean it doesn't matter for KB specifically
but you just do less muts/envenom during shiv
how many hits are you guys getting with kb
whisp, why did you hide the REAL opener from us btw
which is also ass
yes yes funny meme of video showing random jumble of skills very haha
i feel you can only get 4 hits in kb window
yes
chat what is bro talking about
Tryan, sprocket prog last night, guess which spec was the one consistently yeeting people off of the platform
boomkin
havoc obviously
YUP

It's always the fucking chickens
im tryna figure out how many hits you guys are getting in kb window
I swear
how many hits of fucking what
it's rng?
idk, ive figured out 4
typically you get 2 per shiv cause you can spend the superchargers before the end
Nah our havoc was very well behaved on sprocket to the shock of everyone
yeah
but where is this going
idk
idk either
my answer questioned
who is tracking that
i see people who track kb damage as WA
kek
His name says he asks stupid questions, idk what we were expecting
whisp forgot im the most stupid person in this discord
that is just not true
somehow im raiding mugzee on mythic
hey, you have to fight me for that title
you just ask the weirdest questions
we're on the sprocket wall, spend 2 hours last night barely getting past first knockback 
The amount of bad drills I had to dodge was WAY TOO FUCKING HIGH
the questions you ask aren't really stupid as in dumbfuck stupid
Idk I like that boss as melee though I barely do anything
dont dodge, eat them and let ranged dps getting flamed for their failures
they're stupid as in like your brain needs to be studied cause the thought process is fried
which is better
I think
idk
!up
14 cinder with 2xhypercharged shiv build
pogga
You can say that Blizz confirmed it in notes @balmy condor
Whats the rotation like for the new cooked build
I do ambush > fan of knives > rupture > rupture > multilate > fok > crimson tempest > cds > nuke all the spatter/envenoms
No garrote?
Aoe? would ST be raid opener but do we envenom b4 CT or CT first?
ye no garrotes only on boss I keep uptime on garrote
garrote is kinda weak since the build doesnt run any tals for it
Which build you talking about
Ross's cooked one
I sent a ss where I was playing zeross / casualaddict build idk who invented it
I’m guessing it’s high key st focused with FI?
Isn’t bleed build still out simming all or I missed something
with this build I sim 2.75M in dungeon slice, Hyrid I sim 3.2m, and Bleed like 3.1, but if you look at the screenshot you have envenoms top 3 dps spell
Think it was this?
so huge prior damage and huge st
Guys for how long has Gallywix Trickshots been bugged? Or is it "intended" to work like that?
i'm wondering why blizzard aint doing nothing to fix that
yeh true I guess
it's been more than a month lol
good morning guys and girls, whats the change in the m+rota now when leaving out kingsbane and playing 2 shivs?
I mostly stick to hybrid I prefer to feel impactful on bosses I know bleed build sims equal to it but it feels so bad on bosses just refreshing bleeds so I tend to choose hybrid
I know this bleed is personally the most enjoyable build for me, but after depleting infinite rookeries because of my st on last boss I switched over
You tried outlaw? I’ve been doing weeklies as law bc it’s fun
In pins, in guide, but 2x shiv in DM, then in AoE with CT up, laugh like a criminal mastermind when sudden demise hits.
Killing spree on 1st boss floodgate is peak comedy with sonic boom
I’ve seen people to drop combat hearth and change to sub for lst bit of rookery
You also do real boss damage unlike sin
I have no idea how to play sub or outlaw 😄 I play rog for 2 months
but with the zeross build I did rookery 14 yesterday and I was 2.2m on rookery last boss and with bleed hardly around 1.3-4
One time I swapped to raid build for last boss rookery and got summoned by a lock
Did like 2.3m dps on it
it is non existing imo, if you want to rock bleed you need pumper windwaker and like arms war maybe
resto sham guardian dudu
ngl I had to look up what the hell this was, the tank buster?
what's the issue with it
thats fake from my obesrvations it can do hybrid st, if you go with deathmark available and all tea's up
if you go raw
In 17s maybe, there are other problems going on if you need this in lower keys
you are 900k dps
But also ye swap sub after 2nd boss 
Apparently it's been like this since March or so according to the forums. The trick shots thing is supposed to stack up to 10 max and it resets every time the tanks taunt
so it's a burst spec without cds
That's what the tooltip says

Or when it reaches 10 stacks, well it just won't reset
and it pops when it reaches like 14 stacks dealing stupid raid damage
2,5mil per stack, imagine
okay
why is this an issue
it just sounds like if your tanks are absolute braindead idiots, you wipe
seems fine
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"miss type" might be a mistype
!
If it worked properly it should reset at 4-5 max, that's the interval in which tanks are taunting, 4-5 stacks of trick shots can be decently healed, but +10 (usually 14) is too much to heal
What I mean is that that spell isn't resetting no matter what the tanks do
It's doable but healers gotta work much more just that
Im r1 whispyr hater again
oh that's strange
hes a masterjebaiter
you're gonna have to grind a lot of haterpoints for that, other people are already doing +19 whispyr hate
What about barrels though? Should I switch?
I see, yeah
According to the tooltip it CAN'T go over 10
Since it's the limit
Weird
well that's why I was wondering if it's intended or not since they didnt give a fuck about fixing it
it's whatever though, just bring +1 +2 healers and fixed
but still
That's fucked, isn't it supposed to just dump at 10 stacks and murder the tank?
To kinda force regular swaps
yeah idk, whack
At least in P1 it shouldn't even reach 10 stacks since tanks taunt more frequently bc of the frontal cone
But if you're short on healers, good luck dealing with p1 damage+healing absorbs+ 15 stacks of trick shots

ty my boy watching the whyspier bleed video now 🙂
what is your girl doing
probably watching zac stream, for balance right???
checks out
?
i wish i was a girl watching zac stream
same
ill get my wife to watch for u
do we have any thoughts on the 0.2 increased gcd for the automated rotation thing that they are trying to implement?
evasion is not working on rik reverb anymore?
It’s a good debuff for people using it to not be competitive
Correct, can’t dodge them anymore
So I am thinking about switching to ass from sub. But every crafted piece I have is haste/mast and most of my gear is vers/mast. I have some hero track pieces with crit/mast/haste. But this will be dreadful transition if I don't recraft and resocket/enchat my gear for ass, yes ?
No
Secondaries are fake on this spec
On most specs really
Just wear whatever and it’ll be fine
Isn’t bis sub gear like -2% to bis assa
Less than that?
Id be surprised if it was that high
I checked at some point but I don’t remember anymore
I think it was less than that but I remember a 2
Maybe 1.2
Tbh only my ring and cloack are ver/mast (outside 4 of my crafted items)
yea thats fine as long as you have 2 daggers youre golden pew pew
but wouldn't mind more haste. I tried ass 3 weeks into the patch and had like 0 energy regen
This is 1 of dag the other one is Rick's dagger
It’s like sub between dances not having energy either
That’s fine
Any daggers will do
They have shit for secondaries
Outside dances this is not a spec it is a NPC
1rpm

Sadly this bad boy it only HC
offhand weapon damage does not matter at all so the crafted in the MH will be poppin
u are rly enjoying this shit ?
sub, ass are fine
I did watch all your movies
outlaw is just bugged since its creation
the james bond one was cool
why is an AI shit talking rogues
bring back outlaw from s2 of BFA
hey wtf !
zac may be artificial but not intelligent 
the only thing i really want in rogue is 1 more vanish
boss is at 86% I am still spending CP on RtB
bring back shadowdust
I want pve smokebomb
yessssssssssssssss
that sounds cool
dont insult my intelligence
doesn't trickster distract talent have something that looks like it?
Even if it's not fully LoS breaking just have it be a damage reduction or something
mass barrier exists
Some utility ya'know
Or smokebomb allowing restealth maybe in dungeons? Would be neat
your stream music is making me horny
nice
All I'm saying pve smokebomb has possibilities
holy shit, actual raid utility
do you always stream at this time?
no
Yeah it'd be neat
its an holiday today
uk time?
think so ye
or is it same
+1
ye
server time
But like, DK grip is viewed as raid utility by blizz, so why not rogue smokebomb to force mobs into the melee cluster for utility?
ye
It's a good plan there's probably some glaring downside I'm not thinking of though
I mean a los ability ?
that probably break half the mechanics in the game
other than that
i cant see any downsides
nah remove the LoS
Could just have it be aoe damage reduction instead
just DR
Idk there's options
well then its just another aoe dr
But some raid utility would be nice
sure
zephyr, mass barrier, Group AMS
i liked fuu idea
would give us something
hm
Hell yeah
Idk I just wanna bring something outside of damage to raid
ye true
its a gate with different applications idk i think it could be interesting
😂
You're welcome.
np
But yeah this season in particular just feels eh for rogues in raids. Like, damage numbers are fine, it's not a gripe at that, it's just not being able to help with some of the mechanical things in raid that need to be done, like Rik barrels/territorial bombshells/OAB adds
We bring good boss damage but so can every class
Sub does well on the things that arent the bombshells
Its just slightly overtuned for overall
Yeah I'm looking at it from a sin perspective, I should edit it to just sin
But some raid utility would help mitigate that feeling at least
Atrophic is honestly pretty good
It’s not immediately noticeable but the DR passively removes a ton of raid damage
Yeah true, I forgot about that, it's just as you said it's hard to notice due to it being passive

Does the dummy in dorn remove envenom>?
I hit it with 3 envenoms and they disappeared 1 second later in a row
mkay https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rk4tA7HMJn59KegntACqnN
Recrafting to crint/mast is 4k dps gain
Omw to check Whysper's guides
Twist the knife is buggy
Gonna take however long they took to make kingsbane unparryable to fix that for sure
It’s also just super whatever
The buff from envenom is basically cosmetic flair at this point
Who cares if it’s bugged to shit tbh
Oh
new pin 
New pin
Does Blackjack work on bosses? 30% reduced damage seems pretty great
big, now i can parse, finally

Time to not read it and then ask about it in chat
Did they fix it working on some bosses in m+?
I remember boss 2 motherlode it applied to him
For some reason
I don’t think so but that shits so janky
It also works on first boss priory
But can’t tell why
Sometimes it also just doesn’t work
I think it might be if you blind an add in the fight it just jumps to the boss
But that’s not been consistent for me either
Idk it’s all spaghetti
Yeah I've not really messed around with it, I've just sent blind sometimes and gone 'the fuck is that doing on the boss?'
garf likes spaghetti 
Roll the bones is thematic
Seliathan - Washed and Old
dam, rekt
my guild is literally called WashedUp
but the old man still got it, parsed well on gally while RLing and doing bomb
Seliathan - raising the avg age
ok but what about DN parries?
true
still valid honestly
the only other gripe i have is having to press mutilate on aoe every 10sec
which is kinda crinj

Think this might be encounter specific, your mom’s never parried DN

It’s like Boy Scout medals to me
- help an old lady across the street
- tie a bunch of different knots
- fuck Nike’s mother so hard he hears about it in the news
- finishing a hiking trail
its been normalized in this channel for years
largely due to oxi and quake, id say
True
I’m an innocent bystander in these societal trends
No influence from me on the matter
only banging nike's mom cuz its fashionable these days
Yeah I hear everyone’s doing it
Simply incredible
5
5+, 7 with DN up
gotcha
i think
and when to FOK?
mutilate should give 3 cp if you get 2 back to back noncrit ones
i still crinj internally when i have to mutilate 4 times for DN envenom

!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
Dry shiv parries hurt me
Fan of Knives as a generator to replace ambush/mutilate:
when to?
is it always FOK it means?
It means you would use fok to generate cp
My KB got parried during damage amp lust on vexie on tues I almost fucking blew up
Almost became a reroll fire mage angle
skill issue

Kinda true I could’ve stayed behind the boss 
I mean on some bosses I understand, but Vexie is standing still during intermission no? 
or press it harder



🫶
Like you’ll get cds, if the content is hard you’ll have time to get cds off - if the st is over without getting dm off that’s suspicious additionally we can function in aoe packs without committing cds so you can always hold cds before a bottleneck boss is to be pulled
does mastery amplify zoldycks recipie?
wdym?
oh yeah its was worded horribly
mastery increases poison/bleed damage. so does zoldyk. if smth does x amount of damage after mastery applies and zoldyck also applies, itll just get the zoldyck benefit too
yy nah i mean like
would mastery be better in execute rather then flat out vers even if vers sims better
like does patchwork sims factor in execute range and yada yada
Yes sims factor in execute
I'm seeing this pop up more and more....
Play it if you are doing like 18s/19s
If you are doing vault keys, dont go close
barely scraping 14/15s atm lmao
Outlaw after fixes got better than Assa?

Dog
Go upgrade your ring from siren isle brother
Dog what part 2
My ring is 658 IG
Nvm just the sim being weird
Ye
But dont bother with stat weights
Just topgear your items 
Yeah the siren isle ring gets weird in sims unless you top gear
did i stutter?
In this build do we apply more than 5 rups?
Is it needed like bleed build?
And then go full envenom caustic?
5 rups
ignore garrote in aoe
and ye
ur prio targets need to live tho, so only good in like 16+ keys
sure bud
we all know what you are
??? Buddy I don’t even know what I am
a dog
a horndog. ye.
outlaw has always been competitive in raid but it is still much harder to play well and has a lot higher variance than sin.
100%
Can't wait to be raiding Heroic in the next tier and still using it

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
hey quick question, with arcane and bleed build sin on the same comp, who do u PI on aoe and single?
Tbf thats mostly for raid ST. In general if youre not playing bleed you shouldnt be getting PI as assassination
And i dont think its very strong on arcane either
I’m currently not using it

oh idk i cant access bloodmallet at work
thought there might be a chart for dungeons as well
Well theres for 3 and 5 target cleave
But its using the raid builds for the most part
Which is uh
Not great
yea i see now
Since not a lot of specs have contributed aoe builds for it
anyone have a video how to play with single target bleed build?
iam constanlty on like 900k dps and when it drops to 30% i get maybe 1.3-1.4m dps is it that u do with the build or can i get more? i have all bis aswell
Keep CT up
how many combo points on st?
Keep CT up
Same as any finisher
7?
People are overthinking it
do we replace cyrce circlet with a 678?
You use 7 for all your finishers?
no xd iam stupid
ok but i did tempest on +7 all time maybe help little


Kingsbane can't be parried anymore holy shit sorry if I missed this discussion already but omega change
Hi , what is this ? m+ 13 /14 friendly ?
there was never a discussion only people coming here and feasting on this happiness we would never see happen in our lifetime or future lifetimes
Yeah that build is fine
Nah I’ve seen whispyr’s dumpy. I’ve felt it before 
Do I have to just save deathmark for bosses in bleed? Its literally tank damage without it
you still wanna use it for big hp mobs
but yeah
generally save it for bosses if you can
Anyone know if there is a quick way to not show useless debuffs on player since there is a ton on rogue? Or do you have to disable them one by one
Isn’t that CDs in general?
Like if a boss is coming up save it but even if it comes up like 20 seconds into the fight it’s Gucci
pm yes
its more so about learning when and where to use your cds
MFer gaslighting himself smh my head
2k dps gain to not use it 
It’s really just jastor Diamond that starts fucking with things
Ye for me it was heroic jastor and crafted
I’m so happy I don’t have to run it on BM
For me it’s champion jast and myth ring
Funny at this point I have more champion items equipped than heroic
1 heroic 2 champ
I may be stupid
same
Go look into blacklisting debuffs. There's a spot to stop showing specific spells.
Out of all the Pokemon music you could have chose
I mean it’s not bad but like
There are 100 better casual city / route ones you could have chos
hes saying fuck you
I mean I’m not wrong tho
Relic castle
Drift veil
Kalos power plant
Aether paradise
Accumula town
Humilau city
Just naming a few
on mugzee, can i just shadowstep out of the prisons or how does it work?
Had to check spelling so took a moment
no
only outlaw can get out
so iam trapped, sad
yes
The goon cages act as smokebombs
Irrc
So you can’t target anything outside of them while in it and you can target them when outside them
ty ty guys
yeah in 6 weeks maybe 😄
Oh lol

why zerross have more versa than crit?
because thats the gear he has
He kissed his last boy
whatever data scraping website you got that pic from isn't making an intelligent recommendation for stats
its just telling you what people have equipped
!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
TLDR sim
its his poopy gear 
well hes also running crit/vers on his neck
so theres that
and on his other crafted gear
I love all these stupid spunkjunker clips
Cause ik my guilds gonna be stuck on him for a few weeks
i gotta lock in on sprocket tonight and get a better log
capstone in opener all night

I need better logs this season
My overall ones look v good for heroic tho
wanna hear a good bit
i accidentally bought multiple gateway control shards
before sprocket prog
so i tried to sell them on the ah before raid on tuesday
guess who had 0 gateway control shards in their bag
It uses the warlock gateway
You can, but if theres 20 people standing ontop of it and you need to click it at a very precise time
On use it clicks the nearest gateway so u can keybind it
easier and more consistent with a control shard, good luck clicking it when there's everyone waiting
Its easier to just have it keybound through the shard
Fair
But can’t you also just interact with things near your player?
With a hot key
Like balls in ML first boss and shit
Nowadays ye
i just had the control shard on my bars
Ahh ok ok

You could have controlled* it better then
richard is strongly nerfed by gear so shouldnt be too bad
Mine is
My uhhh
Neck I believe
I have 2 chanps
Jastor and energy drink
Rik radio in mythic barely sims higher than champ drink in mythic and sims equal/less in st
dick radio
ok
You’re so real for that king
i can't not think about it
there are 0 fatebound logs in the top 100
this is good to know
oh wait there is 1 from 11.1
really good system btw
i have 50k i need advice, im deciding between fucking my sister or my cousin

Is how good a system is defined by how diverse it is?
if the system is supposed to support diversity of choice
What about all the other specs/classes that actually do have it
they're just lucky to have devs who care 
Sin hero talents stink, but the system is fine
Well, I like deathstalker
But fatebound kinda stinky for both at this point
Im I have like no idea what’s happening im in a dim room i have water given to me in 2 day cycles and outside is a house with green paint
rng capstone activation is truly a choice of all time
Deathstalker is fine until you have a mark moment
well it sims worse for most ppl
But VV is better in cleave
and the entire raid is cleave
Which is most of the raid ye
yea VV is a lot worse in ST for me
And then you’re also in the line of
If you’re only in st
You’ll never have a mark moment
Happens in dungeons occasionally and it gets eaten randomly and by some bosses (looking at you council boss in top)
until you get DN on rik reverb as the intermission comes up
And like in theory it’s dogshit but in play it’s fine
isnt fatebund only good for one fight this raid
u guys happy about the m+ trinkets being added
I like the play pattern of deathstalker tbh
i guess so, played with heroic skardyns all last tier
It's just yeah when U have to swap its a bit annoying
signet would be better on shorter fights
i dont care, giving out free loot ruins the point of a loot acquisition game
Also you’re buffing your friends with signet
im kinda happy i got hero skardyn after a while
this 1?
they're throwing "bad luck protection" at me when i haven't killed any bosses where my bad luck would have mattered
i dont get it
yeah
what are u complaining about?
facts
i just dont really care to be given bad luck protection when i havent even completed the tier yet

Okay?
now i will kill oab and go redeem my mythic trinket
Mythic oab though, right?
how many p2 pulls will it take to kill OAB
yea that's what we're progging atm
we're like 2 weeks in and we got to 30% once
I mean that's fine

5 prob
last phase is piss easy
As a treat some dinar
yeha fair
im biased just by HOW bad the rogue ones are
Trickster is good, deathstalker is good 
Killing spree is bad
Fatebound isn't flashy or interesting enough
like, i literally leveld and play a guardian druid rn, and like, thats how it should be more like
lunar is very very very passive with only a minor gameplay change (lunar beam more often)
while claw is more involved with actually shapeshifting midcombat for more dps
i dont begrudge other people getting what they want, it just reduces the excitement of killing a boss for me in particular
atleast for assa its just so stupid that both trees are "envenom does more dmg"
I mean idk thats what a lot of hero talents are
WArrior is "bladestorm deals more damage"
im friends with the trees or im dropping moons
Paladin is "wake deals more damage"
the worst part about lunar
is that you share it with boomkins
actually disgusting
I would say mechanically Empyrean Hammer / templar tree do have implications
eg divine hammer being as strong as it is because it can trigger hammers
Sure but it doesnt do anything
Like neither do anything to the rotation
U press ur paladin buttons and it equates to "wake deals more damage"
at least with paladin ur wake upgrades to hammer after cast which is neat but it doesn't really mean much
stuff like holding hammer of light for execution is thought
but yeah I see what you mean, a lot of hero trees can boil down to this is x amount more damage on your usual buttons
paladin trees are heavily tied to wake for sure
I really like what deathstalker does to the rotation personally
I think it's pretty cool too, the slight minmax of when to finish and minimising mark downtime / lining DN envs with aoe
yea the 5/7 interaction does require some thought
give us some measure of control
if u dont kill OAB mm , it s gonna be signet and pacemaker from dinar vendor what u guys think?
stuff like making sure I chill on 1 dsm stack before he finger guns the add on mug is an example
I like ds for assa, hate it with passion for sub
ds on sub is funamentally cringe
they COULD fix it
Yeah a bit shit for sub
lacking a flurry type effect on evisc makes dn feel atrocious in aoe
if it applied to BP it would be perhaps too strong
then again ds competes with fatebound, unsure how much of "i like ds for assa" is actualy being glad its better than coins
hard to say
playing for those big envenoms feels great
The lingering shit is fun
THe general minmaxing around being at 1 dsm is interesting
I think its fun at the end of packs when you get 3-4 dn in a row
issue is dance is a lot more constraining than sin's env amplifiers
I think its good for sin
additionally I still think it would be less cringe if dsm stacks were a buff
instead of a debuff
it's deffo less of a pain point now we can spec into vv
but then how would singular focus work
!wa
Assassination Weakauras/Plater profiles:
Whispyr's Afenar Edit
Luxthos's Group
LE's Group
LE's Rogue Collection
Devlin's Group
Ceverion's Plater
Whispyr's Plater
would be your target
Eh
not thought through it much, could be some abuse cases
I dont think itd work as cleanly
they could make singular focus a damage buff to your next dn envenom perhaps
I think it's fine as is, I just hope that MA is never good again 
wtb the old MA again

MA is actually ahead like 0.7% in st for me xd
Its like 2.9% ahead for me on ST
still not using it on mug just to be able to mark goons on demand if im in a cage
but this isn't a ST raid
WEIRDO OPINION INCOMMING
i like when MA is better, cus using vanish for dmg just feels like a thing rogue should do

since when are people playing tiny toxic blade instead of arterial precision
probably since it sims better for them
Death
Sprocket
ye but like whats the reasoning i dont understand xd
Well
What other targets are you shivving on sprocketmonger
bro finished the patch
676 but no bitches thats for sure
@wise whale it was taken in every st build before and does more than hitting 7 targets tho, hardly only cleave
I'm missing like, 2 items 
I remember you were seething about no gear like 2 weeks ago
ya cuz 2 weeks ago I had no gear
Then I got jaster + Hoc from vault back to back and then it was over
low geared 
guys on the multi target opener,with the Hybrid build,we put Shiv After Deathmark (Deathmark -> Shiv -> KB) or at the last 8 seconds of Kings Bane (Deathmark -> KB ->...Shiv (last 8 seconds of Kings Bane remaining) ?
i have 1 charge
shiv the last 8 seconds
ok ty
Great, I need to be carried through eight timed 12s
I'm clearly missing something when it comes to playing assasination. Are there stat break points or something?
!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
The spec doesn't have stat breakpoints
Even with the same ilvl with both Outlaw an Assasination sets I'm doing 20% more damage single target with outlaw
I mean it might be a general gear thing more than stats
And comfort, idk
Ilvl isn't gear
Mainhand weapon, trinkets, etc, matter a lot
Outlaw also just does way more singletarget then assa
Hoping I can get Myth track
Yea not way more 😄
if you aint first you're last
start high with deathmark and coast
you got this, all 12s is possible if you've done all 10s tbh
consider we will have uncapped crests
That happen yet, I didn't look
they're removing crest cap on 14th i think
so are they trying to communicate that they think timing all 12's is equivalent difficulty to mythic raiding?
or do you think they just picked that breakpoint since it already exists
the latter
Probably thinking raid gear is more valuable than dungeon gear
It's probably trinkets and comfort level. I've played outlaw for a long time, sin just feels so slow
no, just that its not too much harder than 10s considering we have no crest cap
yea that makes sense to me
timing 12s isn't hard but it's good time investment for myth gear
i think i only have like 2 keys to do for it on rogue
will take some work on alts
Like right now aside from upgrading from Heroic track to Myth track, all I could need is Pacemaker, Jastor, and Eye
ye this weekend gonna try and jam the remaining 4
i will be buying pacemaker, jastor, and hoc
still just gonna end up pugging so dont need to do 88mph into a brick wall etc
Would really be great if they woild make it account-wide.
Pipe dream, I know
my guild has gotten exactly 1 hoc from oab in all our weeks of clearing normal and heroic
so there's 0% chance we get a hoc from mythic
I had to beat 14 other people for it with a 97
got mine in the vault
Does anyone here use the Junkmaestro's magnet trinket? It sims (only 0.2%) better with signet+magnet than signet+pacemaker. I know we try to avoid 2 on-use trinkets but its CD is only 20s which is why i'm asking where people typically use it in their rotation
for raid^
we're 3/4 so far, no eyes of kezan tho also thanks
I need to pug Gallywix this week, we're done raiding for the tier.
Got it, just slam it on CD during that?
you should wait until the end of the buff because it does more damage with more stacks
and i imagine when im in deathmark/KB windows?

with the outlaw fixes, is there a new best spec for m+?
yeah id love that too, but we will see
as it stands i think ima get pacemaker for sure
gally ring
3rd might be one of the cantrip weps for outlaw
no Hawk Tuah of Cards?
next wish is for them to make a racial talent tree
and races are just 4fun / aesthetic
for keys how high should your sudden demise be sitting in 12-13s
im only about 7.5%
As it should be
