Yea, isn't leech a part of the tree?

tall pumice
#

Only ones given trouble are the undermine dudes

#

I use a m+ build so who knows

#

If you want just use the delve build

#

I got like 8 or 10% leech

#

So some coems from my gear

#

Use ur stuns interrupts damage reductions and whatever the ability that lets you dodge all attacks

spice surge
#

7.2% of your leech is from leeching poison

#

So yes its from the tree

haughty flicker
#

its also all garbage

cosmic sandal
#

Idk wtf I’m just playing next patch, am I maining assassin this patch? Is it looking solid or same same

buoyant herald
#

for the next few weeks assass is fine, tuning still happening so who knows for next

haughty flicker
#

my uncle said assa is going to be bad at the start but get buffed week 3

cosmic sandal
#

Yeah literally, I just want to get my toons up to scratch so i can jump into 0’s on launch lmao

haughty flicker
#

so use that as you will

tall pumice
#

Oh yeah not sure how it works since I just started playing this season (last I played was like 8 years ago when all I did was press whatever button lit up) how does gearing work when seasons change

#

Do current tww2 gear just become invalid and tier set bonus off

earnest remnant
#

Ilvl drops get bumped up + new Dungeons and raid

#

So you just slowly swap out the gear

#

Tiersets still works

plucky stream
#

If your using bleed build tho

#

Your trolling if you aren’t using mouse over for garrote and rupture imo

#

Same for kicks if no focus is found for mouse over

plucky stream
#

Mouse over macro to apply them

#

They said assassination needs only 2 macros

tall pumice
#

I need macros

plucky stream
#

I think you need those additional 2

tall pumice
#

I hate manually applying dot

plucky stream
#

Yeah mouse over is way better to manage bleeds properly with plater

tall pumice
#

Ima check it out

plucky stream
#

In m+ with bigger pulls

#

Same with mouse over kick and mouse over kidney shot, cheap shot

#

The kick and KS/CS should be coded in the macro to prioritize focus target if no focus target is found then mouse over

tall pumice
#

Not kidding at this point I just ambush+ garrote and then whatever that aoe ability is again and then spam garrote + rupture since I can’t see who got what

#

In the 6 seconds before the ability stops cleaving

plucky stream
#

Ye you just need a good plater cause u can see the bleeds above name plates with timers on garrote, rupture

tall pumice
#

Ahhh I’ve seen those on yt always wondered what they were

plucky stream
#

I didn’t like the platers they had here cause I’m used to the one I been using all season and it works fine for rogue as well

spice surge
plucky stream
#

Whysprs edit or w/e is horrible for me on m+ cause I can’t find prio kicks cause it makes all the enemy name plates small af and your target big

plucky stream
tall pumice
plucky stream
#

But like I don’t think you can get over 3k without have macros for ur kicks, kidney shots and cheap shot imo

tall pumice
#

True that

plucky stream
#

Cause that’s like the big part of higher keys is just kicking and cc

#

Hard stops

tall pumice
#

Will look into it at work right now so wish I could

spice surge
plucky stream
#

I’m only 3.1k and that’s not on rogue tho so I’m sure other ppl here have much better knowledge on shit.

spice surge
#

Cheap shot and kidney are insanely rarely used, wouldnt really bother with an extra bind to have it hit focus

plucky stream
#

Sure u can but I’m also sure you’ll have a harder time playing the game and being spot on with interrupts imo

tall pumice
spice surge
#

But yes focus kick is good

plucky stream
#

Eh I disagree

tall pumice
#

I swear mines 6

plucky stream
#

I’ve used CS and KS a lot when ppl are kicking in between hard stops

#

And blind as well

#

A good example of this is in flood gate on the demolition guy

#

You can literally cc him as a rogue the entire pull

spice surge
tall pumice
#

I forgot but does vanish have anything that reduces its cooldown

#

I typically forget to use it

#

I need to setup my rogue properly

plucky stream
#

If ur using bleed build in m+ I would personally hold vanish for when the darn tank chain pulls and u can’t resteslth

#

Or u can just vanish on longer pulls to apply bleeds on everyone again with improved garrote

tall pumice
#

My tanks have a shared brain cell among all of them

#

They overpull lose agro and die

rotund oak
#

even experienced rogues forget this specific thing

#

or try to squeeze dmg by edging their cds in such a way they would die

#

its obvious by now but never,EVER put urself into a situation that u might die

#

u cant do dmg if u are dead

waxen oyster
#

no one is pressing cheap

worn geyser
#

I can’t even think of one circumstance I ever needed a focus kidney macro for keys lmao

#

Maybe heresy but I don’t even have cheap on my bars

runic hinge
#

I have not pressed cheap the whole season and kidney is almost always for trying to keep the one 5% hp mob from following the tank while he goes off “chaining”

worn geyser
#

That’s where 90% of my kidneys are too lmao

#

Just slam a 7 sec stun on that 50 mil health soldier before the next mega pull

runic hinge
#

Exactly. I get my stealth off and the tank gets to feel like he’s doing a good job

tall pumice
#

I never die in keys unless tank loses agro or dies

#

I still top in damage because of my dot

iron carbon
#

You don't need macro to play

icy geyser
#

we shoud evenom before or after deathmark?

iron carbon
#

Depends which build you play

balmy condor
#

envenom before if you're playing kingsbane

#

if you're not playing kingsbane then nothing matters just slam the deathmark onto something

icy geyser
#

bleed

balmy condor
#

yeh

#

bleed build deathmark exists to duplicate bleeds

#

for the most part you can just drop it on something and ignore it

icy geyser
#

thx

iron carbon
#

I always drop it after envenom cuz I'm used to

#

Buyeah, Whispyr said everything

balmy condor
#

yeh the thing is that without kingsbane, deathmark loses like 80% of its interactions KEKW

#

like you're not running kingsbane, so doubled poisons don't matter cause you're not ramping anything

#

you don't even need to hit the mob technically cause no double amp poison

#

so there's no special envenom buff

spice surge
#

Double bleed for demisemaxxing ez

balmy condor
#

only thing you really get out of it would be double deadly poison procs

#

but that's so giga whatever

#

unironically with bleed build on random packs of mobs you can just slam it at like 40% or something

#

and let zoldyck do the work KEKW

icy geyser
#

I should switch to hybrid build only after 16's key where things live loner?

balmy condor
#

probably higher than that

#

bleed build has timed 20's and 21's

icy geyser
#

assa received some buffs from last ptr build?

balmy condor
#

unless there's a very clear and obvious reason as to why you need to min-max for consistently insanely large aoe or super long boss fights, the build you play doesn't particularly matter

#

what little logs there are from higher keys basically have all the builds doing about the same overall

haughty flicker
#

what matters is which one will be higher on details

balmy condor
#

at that level it's a lot of coping

#

its not more damage, but its BETTER damage cause you're doing the damage to THIS THING instead

#

type of shit

#

icy geyser
#

and as a passive one we go with peacemaker?

balmy condor
#

sure, probably fine too

#

trinket for cd burst and trinket for bonus stats?

#

sounds like every trinket combo for the last 4 expansions

#

couldn't be bad now

icy geyser
#

we macro this trinket with crimson vial KEKW

spice surge
#

Theres a delve trinket that reads like it procs when you get a killing blow

#

Which could be good since we always get killing blows garf_sit

icy geyser
balmy condor
#

in this video game?

spice surge
#

Fair enough, maybe it doesnt

haughty flicker
#

that would be pretty funny if it did work

balmy condor
#

all I know is that it'll be unplayable for sub because it'll give kill credit to sectec clones

#

cause of course it will

spice surge
#

It also procs haste

#

So

balmy condor
#

haste will be good for sub

they're delve trinkets though, so will cap out before 723 ilvl right

#

is 723 myth?

spice surge
#

723 is myth maxxed yes

haughty flicker
#

seems like it would be annoying to try and play around

spice surge

So 710 is delve hc

buoyant herald
#

yah

haughty flicker

even if you gaurenteed every last hit with demise

buoyant herald

still insane though

that might take some time but we dont rly use macros these days anyway.We surely macro tea on shiv and forget about it,its practically no dps loss.Other than that focus kicks/stops is the highend tech in keys,couple other minors to end with all

always want to macro pots/trinkets on ur dmg windows etc

humble verge
plucky stream
#

rogues have very little to offer for groups already

#

you should do urself a service to others by helping rotate in kicks/cc best u can by locking things up that are prio targets with ks and cs

#

when possible and it makes sense ofc

static glacier
#

focus kidney? bruh

#

kidney on any target is rare enough as is

plucky stream
#

yeah what are you tab targeting to kidney shot

#

or u clicking lol

static glacier
#

if I have to kidney a mob i'll manually target it

plucky stream
#

cause 9/10 times when i am hitting a ks its cause I see all kicks are down in group

#

and no hard stops up

#

and if that casts it'll prob result in that guy burning his defensive or getting 1 shot

static glacier
#

id say I cast kidney like

#

0-3 times a key

#

usually

plucky stream
#

o yea thats good

static glacier
#

nowhere near enough to make focus setup worthwhile

plucky stream
#

that seems pretty accurate ye

#

how are u hitting ur kidneys tho accurately

#

cause they're pretty last second I would say when I realize I need to

static glacier
#

mobs that have important abilities / casts

#

have different coloured plater

#

I normally would target step kick or kidney as needed

#

unless ik im next to the mob

plucky stream
#

fair

#

I just emphasize kicking and stops for all and any classes when possible and offered by them

icy geyser

#

u do have ppl brute forcing 3k who rlly should be 2.5k but gear carries them

static glacier
#

if you want to focus macro kidney ain't nothing stopping people

plucky stream
#

and they dont know what a kick or stop is

#

they're just lucky for groups picking up kicks for them

icy geyser
#

what embelisment do we run on gear?

#

on weapon I have dark ascension. do I need to recraft it?

plucky stream
#

I have ascension on my wep

#

and then double effect 1 on my boots

static glacier
#

highkey embelishments barely matter

#

they're all tiny gains ad pretty close to eachother

@balmy condorfound your secret evoker

spice surge
#

But obviously your mileage may vary a lot in pugs

buoyant herald
#

kidney is usually like...last resort on a missed kick

icy geyser
#

how does sudden demise work? I was with another assa rogue in key, his sudden demise did by the 2nd boss 200m, mine did only 10m and don't know what am I doing wrong. should I go in vanish and reapply bleeds when pack is under 35%?

buoyant herald
#

i think sudden demise cannabalised other sudden demise

#

like if his procs before yours you get nothing

#

so he's had more bleed damage loaded up than you

icy geyser
#

but is there any trick behind it on how I should approach it, or just mentain bleeds on target and just reapply when they are about to expire?

normal mist
#

That's it yeah

#

Reapply when they are about to expire

#

And 2 ass rogues I in the same key is cringe for one of them

#

Usually the one with + ilvl (if playing bleed) will get more executes

icy geyser
normal mist
royal lantern
#

higher ilvl = more stats = stuff has more base dmg = sudden demise triggers on higher health and will execute before you can

Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds
Broad rules and Section in Guide:

  1. If you have to ask, you should play bleed
  2. 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.

yo, I've been playing bleed build in keys and I feel my boss damage is lower than it should be (I know not the strength of the build), I know we want to keep energy above 150 for sanguiney, but do we maintain that even if we only have rupture up and don't have a crimson tempest up? Also, is it worth dipping below 150 to get deathstalker mark up faster or just play it slow?

obtuse furnace
#

@golden loom tyell me

coral ibex
#

sanguine is the lowest priority other than envenom

obtuse furnace
#

does this build make rutpure hit additional target

golden loom
obtuse furnace
#

ok so when my tank pulls mobs

#

i go

#

fan of knives>crimson tempest

#

and then fan of knives>apply rupture to all

#

and then what

coral ibex
#

no

#

please read the guide

#

none of that sounds right

what guide

i cant open wowhead

coral ibex
#

!guide

obtuse furnace
#

ok

coral ibex
#

huh

obtuse furnace
#

ill read

#

method

golden loom
#

well usually you would ambush -> garotte -> garrote -> rupture -> rupture -> garrote (if targets still dont have garrote on them) -> mutilate for (caustic) -> ct -> cds boom bam bosh

#

read the wowhead guide

obtuse furnace
golden loom
#

o

#

can u screenshot me

golden loom
#

well its pretty long 😄

#

but I guess method guide maybe is fine (should also be written by whispyr I think) or u could vpn for wowhead

obtuse furnace
#

cba with vpn and shit

#

fu ck that site anyway

coral ibex
obtuse furnace
#

ok so basicly i want garrote on every mob

coral ibex
#

no

golden loom
#

well yeah

coral ibex
#

you can't maintain more than one garrote outside stealth

golden loom
#

during carnage you build with garrote as long as there are targets without garrote

obtuse furnace
#

fk i need to learn alot about this class

#

i played sub but idk man

#

its even harder xd

golden loom
#

but yeah, after the 12 second carnage window you should only re-apply garrote on the main target

#

unless its low target count

#

there u would also re-apply garrote

obtuse furnace
#

kk

#

i see

#

so starting combat from stealth is essential

golden loom
#

depends

#

good chain pulling is good, but usually you want to open from stealth yeah

coral ibex
#

wasting time to get a restealth is usually a loss

#

spend more time in combat

#

that means you do more damage

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

In ST, if i dry shiv with forced induction, do i still wanna use the subsequent envenom with 7 CP? Or i guess the question would be, do the additional 3 CP off of forced induction make the envenom count as 10CP, thus doing higher dmg?
And another similar question: Inside my CDs, if forced induction supercharges my second CP (making the finisher used count as 5 CP), do i just use my envenom on that? Or do i still try to build to 5 CP for finishers?

but finisher rules are 5+, only go to 7 for darkest night, and supercharger doesnt change it, except that you can kinda freely do stuff here and there

#

how does the wound poison thing work on cinderbrew, do u just swap to it and gg thats it ?

#

cause ive tried it before but it didnt reduce thewir healing

hallow glade
#

Swap deadly to wound before the pull, it needs to stack up 5x

#

Only reduces the healing to about 80% or so of their health, because I think they overheal themselves quite a bit

#

If you don’t have improved wound it probably won’t make much difference

worn geyser

#

how much should sudden demise be in our overall dmg?

hallow glade
#

3-50%

balmy condor
#

You can’t really control it and it depends on the key level since sudden demise is effectively flat damage

#

It’ll always be doing just for example 1 million damage

#

So if you’re doing 1 million damage to a mob with 100 million hp

#

Vs a mob with 5 million

#

The % is gonna swing wildly

I was testing some top gear sims. and i simmed a 681 crafted ring against circlet and it gives me 1% extra DPS does that seem right?

#

that bleed build ST thing where staying above 50% energy is a damage increase, so do i only ever envenom when I'm like 50% + 40energy or more? And envenom during DM window?

balmy condor
#

staying above 50% is an insanely minor min-max that you should only consider when there is legit nothing else happening in the rotation

#

no darkest night, no bleeds needing to be refreshed, no cooldowns, no lingering darkness, etc etc etc

#

realistically the window where you could think about it is roughly 20-25% of your rotation

#

you get a couple seconds before shivs generally

#

but like, it's so minor that you really don't need to care

topaz cedar
#

Ah okay can just do the the usual with the addition of CT

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

shooo-eeesh
depending on how often this procs, getting it during DM might be insane

#

that's like 80% mastery innit

spice surge
#

Its got 10 rppm, so on average its gonna proc around every 90s, so its insanely rng

hearty seal
#

aw crud

spice surge
#

But yes the numbers are high

#

Its also from delves

hearty seal
#

ah, so no 723 item level actually?...

spice surge
#

So the ilvl is gonna be lower than other trinkets

hearty seal
#

it's gonna be like
uhhh
704 max, I guess

#

Hero 6/6, that is

spice surge
#

710

#

But ye

hearty seal
#

maybe 710 if they turbo boost again

royal lantern
#

and big mastery for 10seconds randomly is not THAT great overall tbh

#

like, even if it would proc perfect, it doesnt even cover a full cd window

spice surge
#

If "slaying" is procced by demise it might be good in keys

hearty seal
#

yeah could be very good in keys

spice surge
#

Since thats typically associated with killing blows, which we get almost always with demise

hearty seal
#

but on a boss...1.5 min on avg doesn't align outside of fatebound w/ set and that's not worth

spice surge
#

I mean its not every 90s exactly

hearty seal
#

ye it's gonna be like

#

70-110s most of the time

#

so you can just get it like
15 seconds before FB DM

and waste it all

Hey all so I wanted to ask about next season, does anyone have any tips on optimising my rogue output for raids? I've heard that people will play sub to start and then move to assa or is it too early to tell anything?

acoustic kite

Sub burst go brr, that’s why it’s pretty much always the early prog spec

spice surge
#

The reason sub has been the "early prog spec" the latest raids doesnt have anything to do with any of its damage profile

Its just been the case that assa was fairly bad while sub was alright

And then assa gets masively buffed

When playing induction build with 2 shiv charges. is it a DPS increase to 1 shiv the second KB. and use a shiv 30 seconds before?

Going over some logs in very high keys on a boss fight. and i see someone doing it.

On ST yes, its what called a dry shiv in the guides

oh let me read that

So when lingering darkness is active + you about to consume Darkest night. between those two you shiv? and then consume the darkest night proc? is that how it works? am i understanding that properly?

shy creek
#

Macro them together

#

then you sync these together which is the mistake from earlier showing up

#

Other than that, looks fine to me

worldly cargo
#

ok ty I've heard conflicting advice and have not looked that up enough. Some people have said to use on cd and some have said to hold it

shy creek
#

the usual stuff technically, no tempered potion bad trinket usage, but the rotation itself looks fine

hallow glade
#

This particular cast of kingsbane shown above from vexie is also 8s delayed from the previous cast, meaning that you also do not have it for the deathmark at 4:08 (if the boss lived longer this wouldve been an issue)

worldly cargo
#

lorrgs probably has that info tho

shy creek
#

Whats the poitn of 8000 mastery during a no cooldown window

#

Over deathmark

#

It doesnt make sense to send off cd

hallow glade
#

although kingsbane doesnt have a special interaction with deathmark itself irrc, youre using both shivs, potions, trinkets with deathmark, so it makes sense to just use them together

#

also theyre just naturally synced if you dont hold one or the other

#

keep in mind kingsbane does not do a lot of damage outside of your deathmark window, so holding it for any reason is usually not worth it

#

also your crit is super high relative to your other stats

#

but probably not something to stress out over since youre low ilvl anyways

worldly cargo
#

if I remember right I delayed it a bit cause my dots were rolling off at a bad time and I didn't realize it beforehand

#

so I refreshed dots before use

shy creek
#

On your cauldron kill, this is your darkest night usage.

#

This is what it should look like

#

Darkest night is your highest priority, you are doing everything to slam that darkest night on 7 cp

worldly cargo
#

what I forgot during that fight was that darkest night can apply mark to a new target, so when I swapped targets I got a little fucked up and had to vanish reapply

#

I should have hit same target during intermission until proc and then swap

shy creek
#

Happens

worldly cargo
#

for a fight with cleave lads like rik amps, stix bombshells is it really ever worth to worry about marks on them

#

or just put up bleeds and vibe

spice surge
#

Mostly just hit boss

hallow glade
#

you just rupture those for energy when they die if you want

spice surge
#

Can put up a single rupture for energy if you want to

worldly cargo
#

okay that's what I did for both of those fights, I put up a couple bleeds but otherwise hit boss

shy creek
#

Yeah you just rupture pretty much, and just slam boss

#

!rik

prisma monolithBOT

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.
worldly cargo
#

felt weird though compared to other classes I'm more familiar with

hallow glade
#

sin is basically unable to swap

#

especially when the adds die that fast

worldly cargo
#

yea ig if that's super important for a fight then it's just a different spec angle

hallow glade
#

yeah like subtlety for when rik reverb was prog

#

also youre using echoing void and radiant power i would recommend using void ritual and simming your character to see if authority of the depths is better

#

it probably is

shy creek
#

Otherwise the logs look solid, just make sure to show up to raid prepared, get your ilvl up, and slam

hallow glade
#

out of curiosity are you at 18% of the raid buff?

worldly cargo
hallow glade
#

yeah echoing void will sometimes sim higher last i checked but its definitely worse, you can see the pinned messages in this channel for that

worldly cargo
#

I'm a little better off in ilvl now but still need to get a good amount of crests

hallow glade
#

you might be able to pick up a lot of damage by simming your character you look low on mastery

#

not sure how much gear you can swap over t hough so just getting ilvl is your best bet

worldly cargo
#

can't get more mastery yet with current gear, a lot of that is locked behind a big crit ring atm that I can eventually swap off

hallow glade
#

its not a huge concern atm just lower than typical

#

if youre a true rogue maybe you can stealth your way into a bandit rekill with your guild Cheesin

worldly cargo
#

I probably will next week. I'm moving off of disc priest so they are still wanting me in on some fights until new healers are geared up

#

and haven't used dinars yet so I can get big quickly with a full clear

#

I appreciate you for helping

silent compass
#

How does sudden death work on bosses?

hallow glade
#

the same as everything else

but bosses have a lot more health

so it proportionally does less damage

Hey i wanna try out rougue . Is it true assassination is the easiest of the three specs?

#

And if anyone can quickly tell me the main differences in play?

spice surge
#

Assa is about keeping bleeds up and then doing big burst.
Outlaw is about going fast
Sub is about delaying and stacking up things for the biggest burst

#

In raid assa is definitely the easiest, in keys its a bit more involved

native anchor
#

Yeah im interested in keys.

#

Also im worried about hand pain which is the most or least spammy?
