cause m+ system is dumb
io score is dumb
raiding is like walkign outside and the birds chirping and the sun shining on your face with a cool brisk breeze

Thats what i do, theyre just RL friends who are barely getting into mythic raiding, so helping out, less stressful than maxing everything out
was getting burned out

thats probably more RNG from your flask than anything tho
yeah its just random 15%
but haste = moreeee gcds
If you stack enough haste
Yeah like 2
if you dont have a noodle, youll need to do the noodle dance

Hey
Is the bleed build still ok for m+?
or we switch back to Kingsbane one?
bleed build good
ok nice
Im struggling only a bit on Single Target
Hybrid is the Kingsbane one?
yeah
hybrid is viable always, it's just not better and the single target is kinda the same
the zeross build with FI and shit is more in the spirit of the old cleave builds
and cleave is the one that's not viable until hella high
yeah that ^ he lied through his teeth
its a great feeling to get rid of it
Imagine. Battleshout
What bar texture/font are you using?! if ya dont mind
crazy high quality gif
Sin is squishy or is it just me
Squishy splat squishy
I dont die on outlaw but then I'm target capped and ks sucks so its hard choices here
I mean
Sin die from squishyness or outlaw and die from ks

Hello police
I'd like to file a complaint
Ask Zac. He usually fills the box first thing every day
Buy bombsuit with your dinars 

Just pop bomb before ks
And pop bomb if taking lots of dmg as sin
I could replace pacemaker with it
also you can use it when you get arena in TOP to grief your team
@worthy rose dude I forgot to set my render scale down after flexing my fps and I was wondering why my fans were spinning up so hard
I've been playing 200% render scale
for like 2 weeks

bruh

Relative to outlaw and sub ye assa is quite squishy. Its still alright as long as feint works
But when feint doesnt work on a dangerous mechanic its 
I did notice that I forgot to put some case fans back in though after my rebuild
but uhhhhhhhhh
did you upgrade
I don't wanna fucking do that rn
?
not recently
but my mobo exploded a while ago and when I rebuilt I guess I didn't add fans on the top
so I got like 3 fans in the front, 1 out the back

idk it's been fine I'll put in the 3 fans on the top later maybe at some point surely
I'll remember

It sounds fine tbh unless you bring in vastly more air than you get out
connecting fan headers is aids I wish on not even my biggest opp
I tried to connect to a fan header when I built this pc
my finger slipped
I impaled my index finger on a pin
and then also bent the pin
and had to bend the pin back into shape
AIDS I say
man ... that would bother me smh my head
You gotta pay a little more but a fan hub would mak things easier for you
depends of volume of air the back fan get out , sometime it's 3x120 front and 1x140 back so air pressure is positive but not too much :p
just read that the bug on raidbots is "hopefully" fixed .. so I ran a sim and and my upgraded offhand simmed -5k dps 
yah kinda except it's 3x 120's on the front panel and a 160 I think on the back
something like that
and then I have space for 3x 120's on the top
but I haven't put them in
not 160
140

idfk
Yeah it's most likely fine 😄
no its not, panic!!! ur pc on fire!!! plug in fans!!!!!!!
yeah I mean my CPU and GPU temps are giga low (if I don't have 200% render scale on)

don't think they ever creep over 70-75
big whatever
like even with the insane render scale my gpu was at like 83-84
fellas ... gf wants me to comment on her ig posts but I aint got shit to say rlly, am i rlly about to ask chatgpt
Fortunately wow is not using much of the gpu usualy , so the 200% render scale just made your GPU work like a beast :p
My lazy ass 4070ti man 
Dang that's still a beasty card imo
upscale my game to 10k you fuckass gpu
you could go with a classic and just comment like "nice tits" or somethin
Whispyr have you considered that maybe it’s not Comcast fucking you it’s that you keep rendering games in 24k?

Holy shit your pc must have been toasty
Why do u not have anything to say about the endless beauty of your one and only !!
"firm tits, springy ass, makeup is caked asf tho, love you but you're kinda chopped shyt"
will work every time trust me
if someone said this to me i’d kms
LOL
not kidding
Titties? Supple. Booty? Bouncy.
youve been putting your gpu in overdrive thats crackup
but at least you know your computer can handle 4k if you ever move up
yeah 4k + small prop airplane taking off under my desk
PC achieving lift
try being a content creator
No❤️
i could prolly cook something up with ur mom tho
but i won’t make a career out of it
being put on the spot - head empty
shitposting/normally - head full
I get told to write editorial on state of barbarian
so I write editorial on state of barbarian
what the fuck am I supposed to do with this

did u just describe my ideal e-girl
fucking wowhead commentors
Get bloked idiot
half these comments are "wtf is the writer talking about, having 4/6 of your buttons auto-picked for you is totally fine and running every shout in the game as a baseline for a barb build is fine, shut up"
and the other half is like "yeah that's shit, agree"
so i made the decision maybe i should dip guilds after mine has had some attendance/cancelling issues
other mythic prog guilds talk about rotating out dps per bosses sometimes and that sounds fuckin stupid to me bc i want to play but is this normal thing that I just have to accept or find another guild that doesn't do subbing like this
this is normal
that's basically required for a mythic raid roster
you can't have a mythic guild with 20 people on roster
just doesn't work
and if you have more than 20 people, someone has to sit
- if you never sit available people then the perma benched never get geared etc
it’s just part of the game
ye
tab out and do something else until they get to your boss
yep
if the guild is competent you'll be sat for vault slots and stuff as well
like assassination has 0 vers in most ideal setups
i get wasted by alot of mechanics
like getting everyone a 4 boss vault
sup gents sorry for the dumb question but is cyrces still worth it or should i just craft better rings
so what is guaranteed? it seems like i have to accept reality that I won't raid every week and 3hrs i dedicate to playing on raid day might just b 1hr
Yeah 100%
it is for some, you just have to sim it
cyrces circlet will be your ring to use unless you can craft a 681 ring
but you shouldnt craft a 681 ring until you have your other gear all up to spec iirc
no it just means you'll be out for a boss here or there
sim yourself tho
hold on a sec let me show you what our roster looked like earlier this season
I did the sim and it gave me a 0.0% change
yeah dont do anything then in that case
simply be good and you’ll be there on the prog bosses
circlet is pretty pog
this is not directly rogue related, but I could not find an answer after googling, do any of you guys know a way to bind the 'interact key' on the same keybind as 'extra action button' and 'zone ability button' : for example i want the same keybind to interact with an object to pick it up, but then use the same key to cast whatever ability the interactable object i picked up has
no need to rush to replace it
my sims gave me small gains with crafted rings but ever since the boost update im kinda struggling with damage somehow
part of me thinks that im playing the double shiv build very wrong or something
press feint no?
rogue has such fucked up defensives man
lock in
like this right, we were reclearing up to sprocket, I'm out on vexie to get someone else in for vault, and we get rotated around
we have a fairly small roster
but same concept
yeah but feint doenst always help
or like on a prog fight it's like okay ahool sits on bandit
coz like if you have a pulsing aoe and your healer cant get you
and then he's back in to prog mug'zee
we have basically nothing outside of cloak of skil
and someone else sits on mug
i get so fuckin triggered when i run pugs with shitass healers
so it doesn't suck as much as I thought it seems, I take it this is for reclears, not for prog. or does it include prog as well?
not necessarily true... 671 ring simmed higher for me over cyrce, but its the +1 luck ring
i think jastor diamond is in a similar situation
Just be the only rogue and you’re almost always in for prog 
but outside of those exceptions the circlet generally is one of the best rings
well you still only have 20 people progging a fight, so generally there's people that will sit on a fight, and then they're in on the next
yeah i believe youre right for jastor too
so like if you aren't in for prog on bandit, you would usually be in for prog on mug'zee
i mean yeah but that’s just a bad healer it’s not a rogue thing or an assassination thing
other rogue in group is sub and my dps nums higher than him so fck that guy (not actually u get my point tho)
we barely have enough for 20, we had to find a random thursday lol
i think assassination feels it more no?
no
coz both outlaw and sub stack vers like no tomorrow
what double shiv build
bleed?
whereas assassination has like 5% vers or less outlaw and sub have like 20+%
thats a 15% damage reduction alone difference
that in itself is like a permanent feint
Evasion
like i guess maybe but if you’re dying on assassination to unavoidable damage not getting healed you’re probably also dying to the same damage on the other specs
vers is kinda fake news a lot of the time

hmm
Well the damage reduction of vers is only half of the damage increase, so its more like 5%
^
Its moreso due to them just having 2 extra defensive talents in their tree
Just gem for verse you coward
The vers thing is secondary
Straight verse gems and then go PvP
Just vers flask like a maniac
Real based and true
nah the spatter one, im tryna move away from bleeds since its not played in higher keys
but either i have wrong gear or im incredibly bad at the build
Assa gets +3.6% leech, sub gets soul leech and a 10% dr thats up more than half the time (and on demand)
oh cleave, sure
what key level are you doing
yeah
16-17s im sure bleeds would do the job but i need to learn the build thats been played the most
okay well played "the most" and "the best" are two very different world
but I get it
what is this chinese tech u speak of (link build)
it is a bit difficult to play though
outlaw plays like 40% vers this tier
it's def a big factor
I’m memeing because when bleed build was getting popular people called it new Chinese tech but Whispyr had it in the guild for many seasons already. Cleave in some form which sacrifices aoe in favor of single target and doing your aoe with spatter has also been in the guide for years too.
So basically I’m just telling jokes
we still same on latest?
Sorry they aren’t funny I’m gonna keep at it
if u have to explain joke misses the mark 😦
Yeah well it’s not my fault you don’t know the context. Try being permanently online more

Is it weird that hybrid is simming higher than bleed for me in ST and Dungeon Slice?
I got it 

not necessarily, how much is "higher"
Hello just hit 80, should i go bleed or hybrid for m+
just go bleed
is it because its better or easier?
easier and better for low keys
the setup for hybrid just does less damage in lower keys
got it thanks
like 1%, was just under the impression bleed was much better
nah they sim basically equal
im kinda surprised you guys are behind us on prog @balmy condor since you guys did 4 days first 3 weeks 
sudden demise damage doesn't sim
yeah but we did 200 sprocket pulls into 300 bandit pulls
Have you guys tried the forced induction build that’s been floating around? I used to play bleed until I found it, does way more st and pretty equal aoe with no need to target swap
its been doing well in my 14s
oh yeah forgot about those

funny thing
you guys were infront of us in easter
it's in the wowhead guide and we have a command for it in here yes
it's much harder to play and sucks in lower keys
since we had like 2 raid days instead of 3
and we BARELY killed stix on that wednesday
dont think we even killed sprocket on that monday after
what makes it that much harder? I don't really feel a difference
ok nvm we did
!builds
Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds
Broad rules and Section in Guide:
- If you have to ask, you should play bleed
- If you're not doing +17's or higher (or rookery), you should play bleed
Some general concepts as to why people play different things:
- Ease of play: Bleed build is simply the easiest to play due to subterfuge/no kingsbane/less need for giant prio targets
- Boss damage: The cleave/zeross build is mainly for boss damage. Assa single target in keys is pretty bad, and the bosses would not be possible otherwise
- Specific Dungeons: Rookery as an example is very boss-heavy, especially the last boss, making bleed less ideal.
- Where the damage is: Bleed spreads out its damage and does great overall due to sudden demise and powerful 3-8 target damage. Hybrid is competitve but doesn't pull ahead until bigger AoE. Cleave is for single target damage and insanely large aoe because of how much caustic and crimson tempest carry aoe damage.
I found it much easier than bleed, same opener every pull with no swap then spam envenom
then you're doing something wrong lmao there is no way it's easier
Yeah but "hard" doesn't come to mind with it

bleed feels faster big burst aoe once CT and ruptures are up
you literally just press garrote + rup + ct on bleed
and then phone it in
you have subterfuge to move mark around on stuff
like
it's half the opener but also way harder to fuck up
yeah you do not need to move mark that much lol
Idk it just feels smoother to me, maybe I just sucked at bleed as well
Idk pretty much regardless of what build i play i feel like the overall is the same or extremely similar
ambush -> fok -> ruptures x2 -> fok envenom spam
Sure forced induction stuff does more ST
its still the same
i suck equally at everything so it doesnt matter what i play
Wdym
Interesting. Ty
You have to refresh your ruptures either way
Well first lust pull of the dungeon for example, I'd hit 16 mil vs like 12-13 on bleed. And unless I have deathmark I'm not keeping up with FI in aoe
Can I see the build? I’m curious
guide
wait
Ty!
whisp, you added zeross' build to the guide?
yes
I've been supporting a cleave build in the guide since dragonflight
ah
This is what I’m using
Ive been trying to old school cleave build too
And again, pretty much the same shit all around

ya
Not much discernable difference in overalls
It’s been super helpful bro… super appreciative. Much have missed that FI build. I’ll check it out when I’m back home.
but on bleed build on ST you have to stay 150+ energy right
no shiv, no DN, no deathmark, yes
so i guess, zeross is just basically playing cleave then
np, watch this
"here's a build that is pretty straightforward, deals really good AoE, excellent execute damage and you don't have to worry about kb anymore! You can safely use this up until 17+!!"
Guys doing between 7-12s:
"Yeah but-"
The best thing about bleed is that you get to pretty much use deathmark on cooldown always
No kingsbane screwing up your timer and even if the boss is slightly too low so it wont live the entire 16 seconds, its kinda fine if it dies after 12-4 because of demise anyway
Minor thing but on cleave build it says you lose priority dmg from dropping scent, which in zeross build isnt the case
just yolo zeross's recommended build for dummies

ruh oh
did the page fucking back-update again
I mean
un-update?
@winged sun 's build for dummies
de-update?
people dont read the summary
they wont read that section
hey will ping zeros here and ask
I mean I rewrote that section when I updated the build so it shouldn't say that, I took that out
or ping you
@balmy condor
but sometimes the guide just like
randomly doesn't take changes
idk its been weird this expac
something something versioning something
no we have versioning
these buttons
for ptr and live
and when a patch goes live, the PTR database rolls into the live site
and sometimes when that happens my guides explode idk
bit annoying
Annoying af
ye i know
that's so fucked

I wonder how many people actualy read that sectio
near no one
2/3rds of guide clicks are on the overview page, scroll to the cheat sheet, and then close the tab
1/3rds of all guide clicks end up going to a different page
i read every word
why would i read the guide when i can just ping you here and ask anyway
so like out of 100% of clicks, 30% of them open a different page, which may or may not be the talent page or rotation page

and then from there the number of people that actually will scroll down enough is even more diluted
and then you have to think that out of that diluted diluted dilution of players, people would need to do the 3rd build, the least common build
and then read the thing in it
Hey, can anyone check this results real quick?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/tB9rNvpLCzkXm5nGSASuim
So I went in top gear and added Gally hc ring, priory trinket myth and Floodgate myth trinket.
As far as I can see it's suggesting to pick Signet > Pacemaker and only then Ring, is this right or am I doing something wrong / siming it wrong?
yeah that's reasonable
it's also telling me to trash my circlet for the galy ring which makes me sad, I liked it :p
I thought we'd only replace it for 700ilvl rings
turns out 684 is good enough
I only have 2 upgrades in the game now, the rik reverb neck but mine is myth track cinder at 4/8 now that I think about it so that’s probs what happened there. And myth jastor
?
thats not even what i play

what flask yall use for m+? my stat weights with no flask are crit 47. vers 47. mast45.
the no scent of blood
feels bad
stat weights have nothing to do with it
Feels way better to play
Because you dont need 5 ruptures
dont you lose a shit ton of aoe dmg?
Depends 
The ST with the build zeros plays is pre good and you get scent still
you just lose a giga ton of prio without scent
Sure you dont get +20% agi, but you get execute, which is like 10% on average, and AP makes mobs take +30% damage
No you dont
o
@balmy condor why use crit enchant on ring instead of mastery one
sims higher idk
this was the build you recommended a while back
that's a raid build
?
are we fully high now
You played this in ToP?
i only play this in M+ on all keys
the only thing i change are those talents
i literally never touch anything else
when zeross recommended it a while back for this build
not saying you play it right now
that was before the double shiv cook
wtf cheat death too
that was a long ass time ago
thats old af
think that was last month or something
might as well go back to beta with zerocool playing cb+follow the blood
i cant remember man
thats more than 1 month ago
by 2 days
can i get another recommended build by based zeross
kinda want to try that now on my resi keys
can i get that in a pastable
CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMjZmZmxM2mBAAAAAgZB2mBAAAAAg2WGzgZGjZmZZ2mZmBzYGDmZmNLzMDwmZZgBsFsMMDYYB
yea just remove the long shroud talent
love u bro
swap to shadowstep cdr
dont press garrote unless 3-7 mobs in IC
1-7*
u can prob do higher target counts if ur in deathmark
dont dm me to ask questions answered in the guide please
!guide
Assassination Guides:
Wowhead: https://www.wowhead.com/assassination-rogue-guide
IV: https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/assassination-rogue-pve-dps-guide
Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
Rupture is worth using a third time during Indiscriminate Carnage (IC) to spread it to up to 9 targets, especially if mobs are high HP.
→ Spread to new mobs—not ones that already have Rupture.
Garrote is worth using inside IC if:
You can’t fit another Rupture within IC at higher target counts 7-8 targets so at lower target counts you want to garrote as the energy it generates is good to maintain sanguine blades
only shiv at 5 targets or below, unless lingering darkness is up then you can use it at higher target counts
you dont want to press rupture on low hp mobs, rupture does way more dmg than envenom even with this "envenom heavy" build
heres some detailed info
on the build
always remember that u should always like to press garrote at 5-6 combo points in aoe
u kinda dont want to waste combo points that shit only generates 1
zeross are you using garote for DM targets on packs?
yea i kinda do
its mainly for prio dmg tho
i wouldn't press it out of deathmark in aoe, its kinda worthless
some of the info could be wrong it was just few sims we did for that build a bit ago
Or you could read the wowhead guide that says the same things 

can anyone clarify this line a bit
Cast Vanish near the start of Deathmark for Master Assassin and Improved Garrote
so vanish BEFORE deathmark?
or just after casting it
during it
but you don't wanna wait until like half your deathmark is gone obviously
so just anywhere at the start of it is fine
awesome, thanks again
np
hey zeross what bar texture and font do you have for your details?! looks really clean
Source?
Based and true

I wish I had more time to play wow. Maybe I could get to play keys that actually use your build
isnt every guide made up in some way
i'll prob be the same soon anyway
will quit soon i think
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
my details will not let me copy paste in lol, very weird
Anyone know why my Kezan is simming higher than Seaforium Pacemaker (same ilvl) for dungeon slice when Kezan is supposedly bad for M+?
because its simming you for 5 minutes conintunes chain
instead of you being out of combat
if you stay in combat perma is very good
youre in combat for the whole 5 minutes
but kezan is a raid trinket
people saying otherwise are braindead icl
yeah but, we dont get good value from kezan
thats what i mean
we're the worst choice for kezan imo

Your fans need you
it just gets boring depletoooooo
ive been there last season

how much minutes is a pack in +15 in average so i can adjust my cooldowns
if you have two rogues with bleed build does the bleed execute work the same
no
does it stack?
okcool
2 rouges in 1 group sounds aids enough
at what key lvl do you suggest to switch from bleed build to prio if ever?
!bleed
Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds

Cleave is for single target damage and insanely large aoe because of how much caustic and crimson tempest carry aoe damage.
the command says 17s but some people have anecdotally had success a bit lower
idk the bleed damage is too tempting to ever drop =))
there's a couple of things the cleave build does well and it's kinda because those things ONLY line up / are required in those higher keys
so like yeah, go play it in your 13s for fun
you'll probably lose a tonne of trash damage but not feel like a dead weight on bosses
I love when my kingsbane dm target just dies before kingsbane finished ticking because its just a 13 
actually the reason why i jumped on bleed build asap when it got a bit more popularised, man that feeling sucks
but is it really have lower st? sims dont show much dif
Yup as soon as bleed got more popular i insta swapped i couldnt be asked to kingsbane a target anymore and it dying halfway through
the zeross build does decent boss damage, the "old" hybrid build does about the same as bleed
if you get to some bosse's that you can snapshot a 2 target CT it will surely be better on st isnt that true? and even with pure st its not that much of a dif !
mayyybe but what boss are you thinking off? remember zeross build still takes CT
kinda depends what you mean by not that much difference as well
you can have success with anything lower because it's lower 
He's right
yeah of course
but some people may read a command and contiue to live in a contextless world
I mean the context is that bleed is better
unless you're at a key level that you wouldn't be asking
If I wanted to swap to sub for final boss of rookery, when do you tele out?
i don't know if you're trying to add to or vaguely argue with what i said lol
can't win
say 17 and someone will pipe up saying well ackchaully i used it on a 15 and i was top dps so...
say use it anywhere and someone will say what you did lol
idk i'm just yappin
me too

i need to say less and let the bot have it's time in the sun


hey congrats you achieved your goal

How about ST for bleed build? 👀
What about it
what about love
Any way to improve it? Shit puts me off playing unless I'm doing something wrong
Play not bleed
But that’s literally the point
Assa ST sucks unless you go heavy into ST
And ST doesn’t matter for shit until higher keys
I mean you can just trade the aoe for st I guess
if you can't handle me when im bleeding, you don't deserve me when im spattering
But it all does roughly the same dps overall
i just use boss fights as time to talk shit
like...to yourself?
also i still somehow beat pugs in st so
lol
Hahha
nah because i only have overall details open
so i cant see the st damage

Is simc bug fixed ? or still there's problem in augmentation
banner is gone so i assume so
Banner gone and pin updated
Thx a lot
Can crafted pieces be converted to tier? 
nope
tyty
there any way to make the details breakdown group damage like raidbots does? for example: sanguine blades is its own line in details breakdown
so is is just forced induction now ? or just a high tier thing
Guys are this simmed gear stats ok? Started playing outlaw and now "have to" play sin. Simming 2.4
This is the sim, anything I can improve? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/afCMg1sZEZzdsEV3BFMxSu
Ofc spent bullion on M stix trinket and then RL told me to please go sin
!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
why do you "have to" play assa?
why do i do such low caustic spatter damage in rik reverb? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/compare/cfC4HgAYm72hqBtZ/8dzPwv1bAxQ9C6p2?fight=26&type=casts&source=548%2C449&view=timeline heres the comparisons https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/compare/cfC4HgAYm72hqBtZ/8dzPwv1bAxQ9C6p2?fight=26&type=damage-done&source=548%2C449&target=650%2C554
#assassination message check this pin, positioning might be a factor
Low dmg on Sprocketmonger as outlaw need to play fatebound and maybe they are scared of KSpree on Last 2 bosses
@red moat do not check that pin, the positioning is not a factor, it’s literally just barrels being giga rng and if the boss is on them you get big cleave and if it’s not then you don’t

Rik is not even remotely large enough for that pin to matter
Idk why people keep thinking that
wait so im really confused because my guild wants me to do more damage to barrels in mythic
im just trying to figure out how to do that
I honestly have no clue how big his hitbox is in terms of yards/meters/whatever the ingame measurement is
Its called not your problem
!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 Subtlety.
can we have one for stix as well
it is
Regardless, caustic is just 12 yards from what you’re hitting and assa wont do barrel damage and it’s literally so late in the season and we just got an extra gajillion ilvl if your guild is having issues with barrels tell your ranged dps to get their head out of their ass and hit their buttons
but someone will ask
!richard
ok tyvm appreciate the help
You are speaking holy words!
very fun on sprocketmonger/OAB if they do
yeah
:/
you are hitting barrels
with caustic
:)
alternatively
swap barrels for a pull or two
and then loudly queue your mic and go
WAS THAT BETTER
DID I DO IT DAD
swap to far ones when ranged exists
AM I GOOD NOW
DID I DO BIG DAMAGE
and then your raid lead will open the logs
see that you still don't do shit to the barrels
ok clarification they dont want me to not prio boss but they wanna know why my caustic spatter is so low
and maybe stop being a dumbfuck
compared to other rogues
barrel rng
it's just
barrel rng
it's 12 yards from the boss
if boss not on barrel, no do barrel dam
have good spawn
tell the rest of your guild to stop hitting barrels and watch your caustic go way up
move boss on barrel
crazy tech
gg
sounds like that raid lead will call out for him to save CDs for barrels 
yeah it can be a tank thing
like it's literally just not in your control
so i could suggest moving the boss to barrels more?
I mean sure you could but that won't magically solve things
you don't wipe on rik because a 3-clump in melee isn't dying
you wipe on rik because the one barrel out in fucking africa isn't dying
that can help a bit but don't know if tanks are willing/capable of doing that
and that's like, not even an assa thing
Feel like at this point in the patch the barrles would just go kaboom?
New strat, tank moves boss to Africa barrel
we're 25 ilvl higher than the first kills of rik
Lazy ass ranged can continue cleaving triple stack
if barrels aren't dying
My guild still wipes to rik if I don’t play sub

let me guess, they opened up wcl, clicked assa rogue logs and looked at the top parses
it's me i'm shitters btw
and were like wow look at all this caustic damage these guys are doing!
not realizing that it's confirmation bias at it's finest
ok i will relay my new found knowledge i appreciate everyones help

tell your RL to make all the barrels spawn on the boss
ez fix
Yeah like I don’t get the issue
Just get giga spawns
dw they're wiping anyway because their ranged don't know how to do their job
also remember to save shiv for barrels incase they are near boss
wait a second
these are heroic logs
no?
yeah i was testing
you're wiping to heroic?
in heroic
oh
did they actually ask why you're not doing as much caustic damage as this other rogue?
it's the middle of may and your raid leader is giving you homework for rik?
that's fucking diabolical

insane work

well they just compared my heroic logs because admittedly i was griefing and letting caustic drop off before
1000 less hits "why aren't you doing as much damage?"
but i tried heroic and didnt let it drop off

and they were wondering why it was still so low
could be anything really

How was caustic dropping off
honestly it's impossible to know
There’s a deeper issue here
Oh well I mean

If you’re not hitting boss caustic means fuck all
but for my heroic runs i didnt let it drop off once and my dmg ws still so low
my sides man
yea it's all rng
if the barrels spawn on boss, you'll do great
if they spawn in narnia
the stories from "casual raid guilds" sometimes are so insane
asking you to run to them is wild
this is up there with my raid leader making me play indiscriminate carnage and iron wire on dathea because our prot pally couldn't wait 2s to press divine toll

"just use your shadowstep
"
same guy made me pull anduin for an entire month before offering to bench me

sickening tbh
I hope you're in a witness protection program now
after like 200 pulls he goes "hey man you don't sound very happy, do you want to be benched for anduin?"
I was like no fuck you
you made me suffer
perhaps even legally actionable idk
I earned this fucking kill








SAME
my guild pulling one armed bandit for the 290th time
hey whispyr, you don't seem happy lately
no shit 
Aintnoway
No wonder you don’t play anymore 
fwiw that one sub pull made me very happy at least ty4ys
wait wtf
are you guys reclearing
I live to give content
HELL no
had to be sure ffs
I was actually in the world of warcraft equivalent of guantanamo bay
mugzee jail
you'd think with 297 pulls of bandit that we've been reclearing since before christ
but no
that's one kill

What’s going on man that’s a lot of pulls
Whispyr of the Destroyed Mental*

rude
Like you killed sprocket so there’s some baseline level of ability tho
We had someone quit over sprocket, I can’t wait for oab

put me in coach
im surprised compared to nerub
(don't do this)
we didn't kill OAB yet but that fight just boils down to ranged doing their mechanics as far as I can tell, pretty boring for melee
OAB was definitely a giga tilter for a bit
I remember watching whisps stream when their priest figured out he was going to the wrong platform after 200 pulls of queen
He whispered me complaining about ranged being terrorists with drills
to be climbed
turns out when the guild officers do 0 raid prep for two tiers and then our roster explodes cause we're so dogshit awful, and the replacements are obviously worse, and then no one preps cause if the raid lead doesn't why should the raiders, and then you walk into a literal prep fight and decide to straight up wing the entire thing, YOU DO NOT KILL THINGS
its true tho

Ah yeah that’ll do it
nah this is fake news
ah no wonder 2 bosses 500 wipes
ok
understandable
idk blind prog kinda based
We had to replace most of our healers this tier but otherwise been stable
my condolences
your guild has the same way of doing stuff my former 2/8 guild is doing raid
I remember being in whispyrs raid when we had a warrior queue his mic after 115 pulls on jailer and go "OH THERES A THIRD ROW OF HOLES"
but if OAB was this much pain, how is mugzee progress going?
much better
cause I beat my raid leader senseless and told him to stop being a stupid jackass
(not really but kinda)
mugzee is comparably easier
icl
oab is just pain
I like mugzee, it’s cool
we shouldve killed oab much earlier
Shame I’m bench spec for it 😭
Because one of our officers rerolled rogue mid tier
Mugzee really easier the OAB?
doesn't do enough damage inside of the goon cages 
much
you got benched for an officer reroll?
you guys go into the cages?
smh
welfare check?
I did

I even got one night of prog in to fill an absence
had to on heroic at the start of the season
our officer benched himself so somebody else could get the mugzee kill, but then our monk had to go to work like 40 minutes before raid end, and he got the kill 2 pulls later 😭
i think rerolling rogue might be good cause for an involuntary hold in my state
yeah imagine voluntarily signing up for this pain
are you an officer though?
Only on details 😎
kek
are you?
Pacemaker or eye
ok so tell me
I'd come back for officer whispyr in DOMS
how would they see his details name if he is benched 
I say mid tier but I was more like after heroic before myth prog
if rogue is the least played class in the game
straight outta retirement
danger to self? check. grave disability? debatable
But still, bit rude imo
the shit I say in public would be a church choir in comparison to the shit I'd be sayin in /o
We also had another rogue who saw that happen and immediately rerolled LOL
He saw it coming
does this discord count as "public"?
hey guys, fairly new to assa. playin bleed build. do i spam crimson tempest an aoe or just use it once on every aoe pull?
yes
once, refreshing as needed
it's a bleed, you maintain it and fill with envenom like normal
Rogue is the least played class but the highest representation ratio of players to high end content. Aka if you play rogue you probably do hard end game stuff
thx man
i am hard
😎
aka if you play rogue you like playing wow on hardmode*
fixed that for you
I do
I'd pay to watch that being streamed tbh
oxi what's the build for 3.26
I just think it’s neat
leveling a rogue is legit the shittiest experience ever in world of warcraft
I love playing rogue
i am hardmode
😎
idk hit me up in 2026 when it drops
I swapped to rogue because I thought stealth was cool in wpvp
Then never did any wpvp
trickster probably getting nuked tho
But got stuck here
thats why you do it 8 years ago, and just keep on playing the class
Most other melee feels bad to me after rogue
SURELY assassin rework 
WW ok
wait, 3.26..... 2026....








delete nimble flurry
i was asked to play warrior in bfa
he's cookin
We need another spriest rework
that didnt happen
It’s been too long
Fury was meh when I played it
Mind link buffed to 32%
still true to this day - probably more fun to buy a gold leveling boost and do chores
