they're already threatening me with the same tonight...
weekly vault keys
i mean i didn't even want to do 12s
but my boy sj said he needed me
i will do anything for the homies
you make me sick ipsa
man blame @upbeat bobcat
he bribed me with feet pics
and not shooting me with his gun
oh okay understandable
ty
you should've lead with that
duly noted
and, i mean... how could i resist a request from sj with a name like this
man just speaks my language
you could have the real thing but instead you run off with a scientist

@fallow canopy 
Help I forgor how to play Sin
we still using bleed build for m+?
Yes
is this the one right?
yes
can we replace the Siren Isle Ring with a Mythic Ilevel Ring next ID?
if it sims higher, yes
they're playing for boss damage
cause keys would legit be impossible otherwise
bosses would take too long, run out of defensives and die
zeross build is wild but i like it
what lvl of keys we talking about?
17/18
We’re talking Rank1 rogue
there's a build that doesn't take improved garrote and it's a bit cancer to play
and also giga shit if you're just doing like 15's or something
just absolutely no point
ye
why do you think its giga shit on 15s or so?
KB
things don't get chained enough
stuff dies too fast
you're not bricking keys cause bosses take too long, etc etc
ahh ok, overall hybrid 2 vanish build can be played in every key with no big dmg fuckups right? (15+)
I guess you could if you wanted to
yeh
the rule is basically just if you have to ask and don't understand why things like the above build exist, you play bleed
thats pretty easy xD
not trying to be elitist or anything, it's just a natural byproduct of pushing that high
like at some point you just push high enough and understand the problems and pitfalls of things cause you've run them a bajillionity times
and at that point you don't need my ass anymore 
But Whispyr
XD
Without you who will explain that main target shiv doesnt increase spatter damage

I was very close to just adding a giant ass table to the wowhead guide explaining each and every interaction
but I composed myself
Ngl that would be lit
Can we get this emoji
if you add it now you can update it next week for new ilvls
no balls
jokes on you, I'm writing corruption guide atm, I'm already suicidal
I will jump off this bridge if you try to stop me
so you wont jump if I dont try to stop you
this is quite an ethical conundrum
potentially dumb question inc

say you wanted to funnel to a boss and you have 5 shitter mobs right, you wanna keep the mobs alive as long as possible, would the play be not to activate caustic?



why are you the way you are nairda
thats tells me all i need to know

just born this way

the problem is that there is definitely a breakpoint
it just depends how much longer the adds are living
like because
based question
I guess I could just use a dungeonroute pack
last boss of rookery, grps have started to pull the shitter mob pack into the boss for rogue prio dam and more boss dam
so im like
could you just rupture them and keep thjem alive as long as possible
whats that one webpage that you can look up health in
keystone guru?
yah okay this works
just the top right pack?
or the bottom right
I guess for the thought experiment it doesn't matter
I'm just doing the top right
top right
for the record I hate this a lot
lmao
the boss doesn't sim properly cause of the fucking bullshit stupid shit
god damnit
I'm just giving it like 5x the health
thats what im saying
yes thank you ryler that's what my feelcraft says too and I hate it
I wouldn't be entertaining this otherwise
surely if you can keep them alive the entire way it has to be worth
its not a raid build ignore that
but

problem is that I can't actually get the prio damage properly so I have to resim with an estimate which requires building yet another fight
this sucks so bad
also would you use CT or not
blindside diff
last boss of rook pisses me off so bad
so tanky and for what
fr i hate that boss
the build is called "respec sub quickly"
worth making an alt rogue? my rogue has 669 gear my first season so spended the crests bad
wait for the legion remix to make an alt rogue or two and they'll transfer over eventually to the regular game
sry wdym by this?
that's true
mmm okay
anyone have that simc string that I can use that shows all crafted gear in my top gear choices
tysm!
Crests are literally uncapped next week
Do I make a third rogue for legion remix
whaaat
why do they even keep them capped them?
then*
bruh
so youre capped by valorpoints instead and have to do dogshit content to farm those
(no one knows why valorpoints still exist)
because historically wow players wanted the never-ending treadmill to slow down somewhat
I didn’t run into any problems with valor points this season
you used to just be able to infinitely farm power
Which is weird because last season they were a plague
and so people felt obligated to be always logged in
missing my point
now you hit your weekly cap and ur good
when you already have a weekly-limited resource in crests early on
why the fuck do valorpoints need to exist
I don’t really notice them
because low tier gear uses only valorstones to level them up
And obv to slow down those guys upgrading adventurer gear’
people who wanna gear alts or dont do all the weekly content or daily content all the fucking time definitely do
there has to be a currency for that gear
theres doesnt "have" to be a currency for that gear
would it just upgrade for free then?
thats literally what whelpling crests are for
or always drop max?
Just drop whatever the weathered crest gear is
Busywork stones
maybe make a world that people wanna engage with then other than carrot and stick rewards

Imagine this, you’re out doing your weeklies - and you run into the bfa legend seliathan!!
but people want carrot and stick rewards
😮
people just want rewards, they dont care how they get them
or rather, they want rewarding experiences
you can provide them in other ways than actual rewards
Ive been trying the Shiv macro with castsequence, for some reason its just not casting my Thistle Tea, would there be any reason for it not to work?
videogames are still an artform thats supposed to evoke emotions. theres more emotions to evoke than dopamine. but most games fail tremendously at that.
make sure you dont have any of the old thistle tea item in your bags or bank
it fucks with the macro
wow peaked in shadowlands, the maw was great at evoking emotions other than dopamine

real
Hmm might have to check that - recently leveld the rogue it was from back in Draenor era xD
glad jeff hamilton is back with blizzard, really looking forward how he can top the maw, conduit energy, and shards of domination
if ilvl of gear is being increased, does that mean were gonna replace circlet ring? Or will that be increased in ilvl too
Yep Thistle Tea's in bank
When playing bleed build in M+, particularly on single target fights, is it normal to feel like you're just pooling energy to stay above 50% for sanguine blades? As in, is it normal to feel like I'm pressing fewer buttons?
Hi, when running M+ dungeons when would you say its most appropriate to rupture snipe without losing out on dps particularly with hybrid x2 vanish build? want to maintain dmg but struggle to know if im spreading too much rupture instead of just pumping w envenoms
you only need 5 ruptures out with hybrid
in aoe you should basically have infinite energy anyway
rupture sniping shouldnt be as relevant
would you say just getting more ruptures in would result in more dmg? assuming i have all my other dots up
i mean envenoms*
with hybrid i should still be pooling for envenom uptime / chaining envenoms right
unless its ttk build
how does shadowmeld work in M+ for a rogue?
do u awlays want to stay above 50% energie or is this just dor deathmark rot?
Sometimes. But never on bosses
You have to use meld to drop combat and then stealth. It doesn’t put you into stealth on its own
You can use a macro to cast one then the other
But it’s probably a 50/50 shot it works at all
Do you guys think we can solo the corrupted Visions when they come out?
Rogue feels so squishy in solo content to me
Yeah legit feelycraft
Sometimes it do sometimes it don't
I'm pretty sure it also has a range detection rule, if ur tank is running away with one mob and u hit shadowmeld it'll work if ur far enough from the mob
when delve belt guide 
yea very annoying that our guide guy didnt log to PTR yet to test everything
pathetic
wtf is a delve belt
I did log ptr actually and I looked at it for 3 seconds and went “man I really don’t care”
And then logged out
From my napkin math a 684 ring will have a tiny bit more total stats than circlet, but it’s definitely a sim yourself angle
im trying to cope that it wont be bis
so i dont have to do a delve
(ive not done a single delve since week 2 of the expansion)
What is the best build for mythic dungeon crawling?
Do you ever
feel like a plastic bag
drifting through the wind wanting to start again
you just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
just own the night like the 4th of july
u feel me
Do you ever see a question and you wish you could just telepathically give them the answer
Because typing it out is a waste
answers telepathically
no but I do see questions and wonder how people managed to find a class discord, formulated their question, didn't think about possibly being the millionth person to ask the same question, and then also found the confidence to go "yeah.... I'm sure" before hitting enter
there's like
should i swap to rik barrels
so many layers you have to break through
if you think about it, its kinda all our fault because if we weren't shitposting all the time, they'd just see the same questions getting asked and then answered

When do I use Tea? Should I swap to rik barrels? How do I take IW? Should I play Bleed in M+? Does Shiv on main improve spatter damage? What target count do we use CT? Do we have to pool?
Yep, I relate to that
!richard
okay but what if the dagger is in the barrels and i haven't looted it because i'm not hard swapping to them
what about that, huh
- first you had to have not consumed guide content
- then you had to think to ask other people instead of going "this is probably in a guide
- then you had to have found the class discord at some point without thinking about the above two
- then you had to open the channel, type out the question, read it in your head, and still not make a connection
like there are
multiple points of failure
fuck, you could use the discord search even
discord search 
and most of the time its even in the pins, and those don't get checked either
it's literally anywhere you could stick your nose
i dont stick my nose places
we know, mr bitchless
coward
Literally every one of the three builds on wowhead and the one build that’s not on wowhead all will work
how about you stick your nose up your dagger @inland dirge
How about you stick your nose near a mind goblin
i will just for you
once i have one
so, never
whispyr you ever get your internet fixed?
in june apparently according to comcast
Mind Goblins are Goblin Shadow priests
I spread wisdom
its a crime there isnt a mind goblin boss this raid
I like to leave everything open to a margin of error
strange
Jail
Penar explosion chamber 
i should call her
i was watching a woxtoxic +20 on bleed build, in st with no procs and low energy he uses fan as a cp builder...is this something i should be doing?
no
are you sure he's not just using fok for clear the witnesses
yeah
thats why i was confused
maybe he just does it every now and then just cuz
we all have some small bad habits ig
ya some people just fok for the vibes
welcome to humanity
I Fok for the vibes sometimes
It’s really cause I already cleared the witnesses and I’m pressing it again
Or I forget if it procs when I get darkest night or when I apply mark so I just fan both times to be safe
Yes I’m tracking it. Yes I’m stupid
I just press buttons 
afaik you only use fok on st in lingering now right
thats the only time i do atleast
the conversation was regarding m+
Legion Remix guide when 
Which m+ build should I use for my legion remix keys
I been pugging my push keys on the legion remix PTR and these tanks won't let me restealth
Just like live when quake says he’s gonna terrorize me and always drags 1 5% hp mob
make a macro to let them know about how unpleasant it is
!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.
Hey guys we are doing heroic raid tonight and I can’t figure out how to up my damage on Rik any suggestions.
I do appreciate the lvl of crap posting vs help here. After you take a beating every single me helps. Vs like going on beater discord where there are just gifs of a guy in a penis costume riding a bike 24/7 cause rotation is brain damaged
Man I’m drunk sorry that was unreadable
But there is M+ this time why not
Maybe wowhead makes you do it anyway 
Huh?

There a deathstalker mark tracker? little purple glow is ehh
SHOULD I RUPTURE MORE THAN 5 TIMES MR WHISPYR, I THINK I WILL DO MORE DAMAGE IF I HAVE 100000000 RUPTURE DOTS ON ALL THE MOBS IN THE DUNGEON
not after mop
Why was it that much of a mess
damn
ignored my obvious ragebait as usual

@balmy condor did u guys actually kill bandit
yes
lol hey after that rupture convo I upped my dps like 2 million on pulls that was a good learning experience for me
I read I just have a hard time retaining
yeah, just spamming dots aint gonna do you good :D
well, 2 nuclear powers might actually clash this year
Cauldron about to get spicy
wdym
Cauldron does have 2 powers that clash
And now they about to go nuclear
crazy work
AINT NO WAY
💀
Are you a liar
Whichever you want them to be
funny you ask
If that is on carnage
no just a random snapshot of mug'zee
Ok good, because a destro lock not being first on cauldron would be incredibly sus


What soup do you sell
Should we be switching embelishment slot away from belt with our recrafts next week due to the DISC coming in .7?
unfortunately we only provide cat soups for now
we will bring up an upddate later to support other animals
being soup'ed in a soup

i call it meow soup
yooo thats some ass dam cuh
all the dk's with infinite pi's
ye well sin is stronger than mage
it just doesnt have any util/no lust
sin has the best dmg profile in the game atm for sure
for high keys that is
its just EXTREMELY squishy
its crazy
i have to swap to sub for 3rd boss DFC because of how bad it is
sub has fazed + the 10% dr talent when u enter dance
and higher vers ish
and u got a vanish which heals 30% of ur hp which is quite good and easier to press on sub
Plus you get the finisher shield + heal as sub
than sin
yeah ur basically healing alot during cds
so it is a defensive too to press ur offensive cds
sup boyos missed yall been out of country for work for a few weeks.
Interesting
whats with the back to back ruptures out of stealth? zero consistenly does it
Yeh, that
Bis talent tbh. No bias
Gotcha, makes sense and reason for no garrote? or will he be energy gaturated by those 3 ruptures in IC?
so he just opens with Rupture instead of using garrote because of that bone spike?
well ambush then rupture, instead of ambush - garrote - rupture
2 rupture casts is 5 ruptures in ic unless he mouse overs something else in which case is 6 but that should be plenty for energy
He has zero garrote talents so he doesn’t usually cast it I don’t think
Yeah he mouseovers there as one is on a harvester as the next on a bee
i use hekili a lot, i know this isnt the discord but any idea of the sim/hekili reflects his build?
Maybe. But his build is generally only good for really high keys 18+ and requires more knowledge than following the rotation helper
or his his niche (i see higher key players going towards it more) due to high pull count
understood, it does seem reletively simple tho. easier to focus on spamming envenom in my opinion
Things have to live your full dm and kb and you’re using spatter and envenom for damage and generally things won’t
Idk bleed build is so simple. Spread bleed in ic and then keep ct up
Much easier to not have to worry about kb and shiv timings imo
i think its just annoying cause my plater sucks lol hard to see for mouseover

Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required
- The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
- You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets
Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.
It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.
yaaa that makes sense
Tbh rotation helper in m+ is more if a "hey you could do this" since its pulling from sims and dungeons can vary from person to person and group to group
ya typically when learning new classes i'll use it then i transition off
but i saw such a large discrepancy when using his talents
made me question life choices
Yeah i dont knock the rotation helper as I generally leave mine up to know when to refresh bleeds😂. Its just easier than doing a WA for that since its just a small Lil icon on my screen
so it does look like he will garrote prio targets
question, regardless his build or bleed build, if you have serrated bone spikes its wise to double send rupture after ambush?
There’s a rotation section of the wowhead guide that’s super helpful
...yes, it is wise to double send Rupture in AoE, 'cause you want Scent of Blood stacks maxed
I don’t believe you

Talents having value is so 2024
hey guys what talents do you use for myth fights? raid council over st w cleave
there's a pretty standardised raid build
with just one swap if you're doing pure ST
which is the one all the guides will have
2020
Imagine decisions mattering
In 2025
ross has some crazy cooks for his build
idk how sound his APL work was
but i guess it's a gain for him to just not garrote or rup spread too much with his build in his keys
he just get scent stacks and then caustic/envenom games
he's literally like the only rogue doing that tho
assuming hes also just carrying CPs into next pulls to open with rupture, but eyeball test says it makes sense if you're not taking any garotte talents
@balmy condor ive achieved peak

hello rogues
I have betrayed you all and have been living the feral Druid life
how much has sin rogue changed since last season ?

it needs buffs
simpler than ever, balance wise basically the same, maybe even stronger than s1
I play feral Druid it in fact does not need buffs LOL
Feral Druid however 😭 😭
yah assa is cranking
it's like top 5 across every boss in raid, insane value on last 3 in mythic
It’s why I’m thinking of getting back into the rogue grind
Cranking but not fotm is such a sweet spot
feral got massive buffs this patch
None
There was only supposed to be a 3% and that didn’t even get added
and very easy
Nice!
well it kinda rose up the tier list anyway, weird.
i guess it didnt need buffing
look at it in raid and you’ll see the problems
we’re just above Aug :p
with a massive skill floor
sub is above aug i believe
yeah it’s sitting around where sub is
Is this heroic ?
we’re doing okay in heroic atm
Let me find the chart I was looking at last week
The chart that got posted is from this week mythic 99th percentile
they really did subtlety dirty by nerfing them back to back to back to back
just cause it was "overperforming" in week 1, that was gross
that's a ridiculously small sample size
even for the most played specs, that gets u a sample size of less than 5 for each spec
on end boss
And only looking at the smallest sample size of the very top players and not accounting for specs strengths and weaknesses from encounter design is surely a great way to compare them.

well encounter design is not a variable you just get rid of, if the raid design is good for a spec it means the spec is good
but its silly to crank it to 99 and for 1 week only when we have multiple weeks in the partition and not many guilds full reclearing
I mean moonkin on sprocket and stix are gonna look like 2 different specs.
well it's ironic you say that because sprocket is actually a perfectly ok boss for moonkin
there are only a few specs that have outlier bosses, and with 8 bosses, it doesnt make a large difference when looking at all boss
shadow priest and destro on bosses like coc, one arm, mugzee are going to have a bigger outlier than moonkin on stix
its just not that big of a deal
thats all
I mean I kinda agree but cranking the sample size to tiny and squishing all boss encounters into one bar isn’t completely indicative of spec strength
but realistically you could probably ignore all bosses except one arm, sprocket and gally and balance exclusively around those and you'd get a pretty decent spread of dmg profiles
yeah i already said thats dumb
someone just thought 99 = bestest and didnt use any brain power past that
is what it is
did u read anything anyone just said
I still think that sample size is too small for what blizz balances for
showed instantly u didnt absorb any of the points
Im answering to what you tagged me in, not the rest
yes that's exactly what i said
I mean you answered to something that never stated anything else in the first place
All my message said was
„This chart is x“
and i said
that chart is bad
u are not doing urself any favours here
just stop
XD
Surely ima stop talking because paper says so
Glad ur here bro
Still don’t get what you want, I said chart is X nothing more
And while wclogs statistics page is a very tough chart to make statements from you can definitely see clear outliers from it
I think a problem is wowhead posting 95% mythic as if that’s what blizz balances for. People have the expectation that blizz balances for the chart getting posted every week and not their own goals
yea nerf outlaw, fuck those guys
broken ass spec
hammer down the outliers on the chart
True
Outlaw does pump on stix idk what’s wrong about that chart
🤦🏼♂️
ρ=M/V
😂
I mean guys
You posted a stix specific chart
Where outlaw pumps
I said outlaw pumps on stix
Tell me what’s wrong about the statement
go back and read
Brother
u might get it
ok
I said
well u can keep embarrasing urself then
Outlaw pumps on stix
lmao
Very embarrassing

Oh no I just realized who you are
Nahhh bruh can’t believe i didn’t get that in the first place
did u know that density is expressed in unit of grams per cubic centimeters?
CHAMA
tf happened in here
good morning 🫶
re-rolling to outlaw
Data analysts
do we do it?
Can you use two crafted Everforged Stabbers?
you can but offhand is worth the least dps out of any slot you could craft
yeh if you have literally nothing else to do with your crests and you have sparks left over then go for it
but actually EVERYTHING else would be a better use of resources
Hi, how does AP scales on assa ? Does envenom have an AP ratio ?
apple pie?
mmmm apple pie
yuuumsies
AP is what im about to do with you after our dinnerdate
Wait what


corruptions 2.0 seems like a weird carrot to the stick of visions. like, that system was fucking wild but the best part was finding a balence with it.
and by balence i mean not killing yourself from the curse that came with the kiss


have you ever played trickster outlaw 🙂
far too much
far far too much
and i said that the curse had a kiss, KS is only a curse

Heya guys, sorry i am super new to wow, been playing for like nearly 2 months but got sub 1 week in game time, ive been running raid tree in all my mythics, and doing average to good, but as i get up to anything past 11, my dps is starting to linger, i really wanna try a Mythic tree, and learn the rotations but people are so divided in what to use and how, could i get any advice if possible, or like a 5 minute coach, this class is a struggle as a first time wow player but i also love it haha
the big difference between raid and m+ builds is that m+ runs indiscriminate carnage
you just prio spreading garrotes and 5ish ruptures for hybrid / ruptures on all long lived targets for bleed
while its up
otherwise it plays pretty much the same as raid
bleed st is maintain dn env > rupture > ct > env in st for finisher prio st
https://www.youtube.com/@whispyr5793 whispyrs video guides are quite helpful
@balmy condor I beg you make 4-5min rotation guides that we can send to people not prepared for an academic lecture
if running hybrid it will be amp and deadly
the non lethal ones are personal preference
Hello ppl, how much do you sim single target?
ya good idea
the most common tree from archon has only got 5 poisons and neither are in it 😢 haha
litterally just barebones what you do and the very basics of why
"we press ct as high prio because it does a lot of damage, but we dont press it before pack is gathered due to its increased damage per target up to 5 and because it hits all targets"
keep up the good work btw
Yes
I think assassination should be able to swords
Just a bigger dagger, equal stab
you can sim the different weapon buff items
Mmmh I can sim the war buff only as well, good idea
lowkey maybe I offer wow coaching for gold xd
yes of course it's AP
everything that does damage is AP based
that's just how ability math works
@nocturne gust if you're eu and prepared to pay a modest fee I can offer one on one coaching over discord and follow up help over the coming weeks
If you step aside for a sec and consider a newer player, like AP doesnt really come up very often in how they present the game
oddly
it also just doesn't matter though
So war buffs affect everything that deals damages ? Even mage's spells ? 😮
agree
like it's not important to understand
agree
war buff affects all your damage
mage buff affects spell power
which is not you
but like all the healers and wizard specs
boomkin and ele sham and all that
agi/strength is attack power, int is spell power
Okok ty I thought it was mostly physical & meles only that were affected by ap
yeh
the other keyword thing is "magic" and "physical"
very easy to see from warcraftlogs or details at a glance
anything that is not that beige color used by garrote/melee
is magic damage
some of them are mixed cause of dropdowns
yess that I know, it's mostly about how attack power affected rogue damages that I was curious of
so like corrupt the blood? magic damage, demon hunter debuff, rupture itself is physical, monk debuff
yeh, just completeness

I learnt something today, nice ty
kinda surprising bliz didnt make bone spike necrotic damage for like the 1 lore person dispite the 10 other people who were like wait what

could've made it plague I guess but would've been a little strange with multipliers
Good morning (night) ass man
i have a catalyst question (ive never used it before )
if i do this , is it still a pvp item or now full pve ?
and should i do it lol
it still has this line
so you're good
tier bonuses are good
probably want to do it
so it become a universal item ?
thats cool
you have 5 charges so I don't really see a reason why not
I mean it's already universal
the item level is just higher in pvp
pvp gear these days gets an ilvl bump
pve gear is still jsut better in pve
ill do it ,maybe not on the chest tho as the dungeon one is bis over that
if you're looking to play pve and pvp, I'd suggest catalysing pve items with higher pve item level for your set bonus, then making them viable in pvp with the conquest item that adds the increased pvp item level on them
that way you can make, for example, hero track pve items viable in pvp (if you dont have mythic track items)
interesting
If I send a kidney shot with Supercharged Combo points, does the duration last longer than the 7 Combo Point duration?
i dont think so
no, supercharger specifies "damaging finishing moves"
and kidney shot does not do damage
Ah, this makes sense, thank you.
IB
what about IB
Didnt it make kidney bleed em
yes but that's not kidney shot doing damage, that's internal bleeding doing damage
the ability itself isnt a damaging finisher
it doesn't just magically change what kidney shot does
it just puts something on top
Thank you for the work you do for the rogue community, @balmy condor I've commented this on your stream before but I am a assassination rogue bc of you. I look forward to more of your content.
Which dungeons would it be better to play hybrid x2 vanish over bleedbuild in a phys comp? Is there any data on this?
probably none
Phys comp probably irrelevant but maybe ToP if anything.
Doubt enough people do it for any data
It’s kinda play bleed until SC no garotte takes over in the higher keys
play bleed until you don't need to ask if you should play bleed
I’m a huge fan of that answer
But people tend to react badly to “if you have to ask, don’t do it” for some reason
Yeah fair, tried hybrid force induction in 14 top but it bleed build just feels so good
cus it sounds kinda rude
It is a bit snippy
Bleed is just super easy, only real downfall is bad ST and that’s not a real problem until probably higher than 14s

h-hows that work
well you see, if you have to ask if you should play bleed, you are not a strong enough player knowledge wise and extremely likely to also not be doing keys befitting of a level where you would be playing not bleed
Kinda like asking how to turn a 747 on
If you have to ask
You shouldn’t be playing with those keys
yeah or it's like a teenager's first car being a maserati
slow down a bit there bud
I tried hybrid in a top the other day and it felt
Ehhhhh
Probably wasn't high enough level to feel the difference tho
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

dumb question, does the trick to meld mid combat and get IC again still work
in keys
Yea but meld is still pretty shitty and doesn not always work
Meld -> stealth
Just need doesn't work
yeah i saw it's finnicky
cool i might just go nelf next reset
my main spec is sub but it's dead in raid anyways, literally the worst spec
Going nelf just for that isn't worth it
Meld is better to just use to cancel casts than to maybe get a vanish
You doing good there bud?
same
yeah?
ahhh ok

tell me more
The most coherent ai output
only 40liters of drink water boiled for this

sry my child trying connect with aliens :p
good comms 🙂
fihs 🙂
is eye of kezan mainly good for raids or m+ aswell?
M+ good aswell if your tank knows how to pull
Not those pulls where 5% is left of an mob and he pulls
Rather more healthy
Def play either HoC or Signet
And either Seaforium/mechano core/kezan
Obviously only if you have
i have to lose 3k crit rating to use signet/mechano and and
, it's so grif
stuck with champ track hoc lmao
is there some weakaura that can take specific timings for cd's and then flash on screen? like if i grab timings from lorggs
You can do that with mrt notes lorrgs even has a function to export the cd timeings as a note
oh nice - so do i just create a personal note?
Yea but if you also want that the symbols flash and not just in the note you can use a wa i think its called Kaze MRT timer or so
what build is best in keys atm. is it bleed build?
Is there something in rookery causing me to lose stealth at the corridor?
I keep seeing lightning spark out
huge
hm i typed kaze into curseforge and nothin popped up
ohh it's a weakaura
sorry didn't see that in your response
is this the format that'll work for kaze?
i just directly copied from lorggs for now to get it to work - not sure if i need to edit at all
Its the feather buff you pick up when going down after the first boss
If you have to chose to send Darkest night or reaply CT on Aoe what woud you send first? 🙂
Has anyone tried Geargrinders Spare keys trinket? How annoying is it to aim.
gotta rmb to remove it then, ty
when using arterial twice in a big aoe group. does more debuffs go out or does the 7 curent targets just refresh?
ok 🙂
any one mind explaining when to use bleed build rather then hybrid build in keys =)?
Bleed build is fine till higher keys people have mentioned like 15-17s but idk never not used bleed as of yet
How many targets do you bleed before you roll into splatter?
I see thanks 🙂
stop coping
there is no higher keys as roghue
just reroll aug
Bleed build use CT in st right?
y
cool
according to new rotation helper showcase also poisoned knife as builder
minimum 5 for stacks, or a couple more on targets that you feel like will live long enough for it to matter

how do they keep from running out of energy on bosses? how do they manage their energy?
!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.
I mean it’s not wrong technically, but so is cheap shot 
What is the best comp to play for Rogues in mytic+? i feel like so manny other clases burst prio so hard i cant even start doing proper damage before its dead.
What key level are you doing?
13-14s
!pooling
- 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.
It does not matter then
Ideally you want buffs so shaman Druid monk warrior
But it does not matter
With bleed build i ST - do we stay above 50% energy for sanguine blades (while maintaining dots ofcourse) or do we spend the 50% on envenoms?
well you maintain dots and need to spend darkest nights and u also kinda pump during shivs, but when u have nothing to do you pool over 50%, which ends up being like 20%? of the fight at most
Okay thanks 👍
zercool doing weeklys at mdi
So during shivs I should be spamming my shit, all the teas, starcraft level apm?
idk just click stuff it aint that deep
just spam poisoned knife
Starcraft level apm is wild on assa rogue
Play outlaw for that
Whispyr has a video talking about bleed build and how to play it in ST, recommend that
Its in pins
Will ahve more detail
interesting zero not playing circlet even only at 678 ilvl ring
!sheets
ig the gems are better
they need to give us way to make it 670+
for the HP
we are missing 5k stamina
if it will be 678
or better yet
You’re not deleting it. Just recycling it into a belt.
no chinese team at mdi this time
you are pure evil
Maybe some day. But that day is not today.
for rupture sniping - does it matter when we put rupture on the mob being sniped? like are we actively trying to put rupture on when the mob is as low a spossible or is it fine to just rupture the mob early
"he's he gonna die soon? Yes? Rupture it"
put rupture on yourself
?
you see one?
oh
Is it wort sending 9 ish Ruptures before you send one CT as bleedbuild?
Nah you want CT up asap, 9 ruptures maybe if they’ll all live the duration but also you’ll wanna get into CDs at some point so you don’t lose a bunch of MA uptime outside of CDs
.
did zercool convert you
Fuck the cyrclet
Does this mean I ignore the staying above 50% energy talent ?
!pin
Possibly dumb question, in bleed build is it optimal to sit on shivs (outside of deathmark, or avoiding overcap) for execute phase for zoldyck synergy? vibes craft it seems to be beneficial on higher-ish keys where the sub 35% health phase can easily fit a shiv or two
what key level you doing
currently working on 15s
🤔
you can hold a charge, but you never hold 2
Oh hi Ryukage
Shiv is ok at the start under MA as well, either on pull or during execute imo for track packs
Hi guys where can I get good macros for assa ?
Yeah I also want to make mouseover macros for bleeds
If you found out please let me know too
I havent seen this build yet. and was wondering, in m+ do you bother spreading garrote? Like using vanish to reapply
I have some on my demonhunter I will try them on bleeds
Demonhunter also has ability that u want to cast on target and mouseover
Prob use same macro
no shrouded suffocation, no improved garrote, fake spell
nah it's better in high keys
yeah, kinda what figured.
well padder will do lot of dmg
yeah you run it in high keys. I just didnt realise, but i tried and it feels nice. just didnt know if I care to reset garrote at all
you dont, you just send it on opener, keep on main target
Are we still going to be taking circlet after ilvl boost?
i have not played it but id only use it if i had DM
gotcha, kind of what I have been doing
ye
interesting.
You probably could on low target cleave like 2-3 mobs to keep energy rolling quick maybe
did you play last season? thought you were pretty high rated back then.
i did but this build not
you do, you get energy and other tree synergies from having it up
probably the only person who really knows the ins and outs of the build is Zeross, since he created the abomination
cause obviously you use it in ST
Are you in short term retirement
hopefully forever term
That high key build also takes dashing scoundrel which makes up for some energy loss from not garotting (if you even needed it)
No I'm in a sexual assault by killingspree protection unit now. That's why I'm here.
I hope I'm safe from killingspree while here
Thanks guys
killing spree cant hurt you here. youre safe <3
now you have to deal with caustic spatter and kings bane </3
Ty ty omg the nightmare is over
(I love caustic spatter and kingsbane but everyone else hates them)
That’s a crazy take lol who hates them
I'm familiar with them
hi!
I am a KB enjoyer
im right here!
if you spend time in this chat youll see a lot of spatter haters
fuck caustic!
Oh gosh what have I done
yeah see
Killing Bree 🧀
you just havent spent enough time in this chat
Came out of the woodwork real fast
We are like auto tea malders
Mention us once and we crawl out of every hole in the nearest surface
bad change
Surely people hate auto tea more
Why do ppl not like caustic because u have to apply rupture maybe
Cringe and unfun way of doing AOE
cause i dont wanna be outlaw and blade flurry?
Its a cool flavor but just not very creative
You mean you don’t want to be sub and blade I mean nimble flurry
I agree, very weird thing to do
