cause I simmed a 701 crafted belt compared to delve belt and they are equal
yeah okay so its smoked
yeah thats the main thing
my rat DH with 640 ilvl has its bis belt already, ready for s3 m+ 😎
Yep
+39 ilevel each season, interesting
midnight we gonna get stat quished 100%
Thats been their goto for quite a while
do you think that in midnight, there will be additional talents added, or an additional hero tree
or maybe they just add new talents to the regular trees
maybe we get 3 fully fleshed out hero trees first
Inb4 hero trees get scrapped next xpac
we call that the Way of the Shadowlands
That's exactly why i said it
Though I had garrisons in mind
E.g. "gimmick for the expansion we'll abandon next round"
ah, yeah i was thinking how all those tokens unlocking abilities and buffs and then they became part of the spec essentially
Easy just don't cook it
Firm foundation right there
It's like making a toothpick castle
maybe the void consumes all of our talent trees and specs
i mean they kinda did do this with artifact weapons so it's not unprecedented
that's after the last titan. because then wow 2 comes
and being the 2nd of a trilogy, Midnight, like two towers, things become the darkest, all will seem lost
WoW2 releases after we fight John warcraft
Hi, quick question. As a beginner to Assassination (and Rogue in general), what's the best build to use in Mythic+ to get started with the class ?
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.
Perfect thanks

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
Looking for a WeakAura to track Rupture/Garrote on big bosses ? debuffs are hard to see on large models

im playing hunter since 1 week and i think ive been wasting my entire season try to sort out what to do how to comb'ne them, fallow buffs, combine things beg tank to stealth blabla... why rogues need to be that complicated to play its like after u are pro with rogue, all other classes are so damn simple to play. expecially hunter, dh, ret, dk i mean all
really sad that we cant play like a bm hunter 😄
You dont have to stealth on rogue really.
if you think you gotta stealth you are gimping your group
lol no ofc?
He's right
Why do you want to stealth?
You already getting agi from previous ruptures.
well letz consider u play bleed build or u play sub or outlaw
It's worse for the key to stay there and hit one mob so you can stealth
dont u want stealth?
Even with bleed build
No
yes
u consider we play shiv envenom hybrib build
well whatever dont go stealth 😄 but point is not that anyway 😄
some ppl play with 1 eye 1 hand
if you would do high keys you know you dont need to stealth.
and do way more then rogues
We already have double vanish
skill base cath ups are so low for some classes but for rogue man its sick
If we wanted to min max the class we wouldn't be playing rogue anyway
I think you are in a bubble not gonna lie
People play rogue because they enjoy playing it
And because it is somewhat hard in comparison to other classes
enjoy sweat try to make dps?D while hunter doing same dps with 1 hand 😄
having played havoc for my split toon this season id rather just play rogue
nothing exciting about pressing sweep and annihilation on repeat
everyone in game inv balance dk and mage for example, after all those fallows and try hards if we could hit hard atleast
But we do
then we could get inv but stil after all those sweat we cant get inv like balances
if u do its good for u 😄
fellas does is rogues do is less dps than dk?>??
im 3.5k and its hard as fuk for me gto get in que
there's always going to be someone better even if you play meta classes, so the best approach is to make friends so you don't need to pug
FaKe!!!
u play with sux dk where u stole all dps and u show it to me ?:D
Hi I want a brain dead ret pally spec for rogue
that was just an ipa pull haha
Charrend playing with amazing players
- you did better than them? They shit
dont fallow anything
You were obviously boosting him
whatever im done with rogue, instead now i open balance hunter dk and ret and gear up all swear god never turn back to rogue
gl 🙂
suffer all my nerve system to suffer to be able to make dps 😄
those specs are fun too
you'll be a bit shocked to find out that thers more to dk ret boomkin and hunter than 2 buttons
to do top dps
He'll be back, they always come back 
i play rogue since 2004 and i really love i did everyting i got glad tittle season 3 i do CE raids and many other thing only rogue
but since ive seen other classes how easy they are
i cant believe myself that i waste that much effort for rogue

Then leave bro go play flavor of the month nobody is holding you here hostage
This is honestly the worst part about playing assa
If theres adds youll do insane damage, if not its gg go next
New tier makes it worse since it amps singular focus even more 
"oops I pulled extra hihi"
And doesnt amp dn energy
Surely they fix nimble bugs on sub (or buff it even more) so i can play sub in keys instead 
in fairness it just says "damage effects and damage bonuses by 50% while active" so i wouldn't expect it to buff the energy gain
You wish
I love the rogue fantasy of running away and hiding out of range or los while my tank gathers mobs because i dont want them to randomly target me and break my stealth so i lose the mark 
Hiding in stealth lowkey kinda real to fantasy
On like the pull after big MOMMA, the inspectors can put you out of stealth if they jump to you, the earthbolt boys you pull onto first boss motherlode also have a random burst
Yeah for sure, unfortunately its not particularly fun 

Yup not running subterfuge is ass
I mean even then getting pulled out of stealth is aids
Idk would be mostly the same even with, but ye you wouldnt lose the mark
Just ma and ic uptime
hey there, where can i see the current "bug list" on rogues abilities ?
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: https://github.com/SimCMinMax/WoW-BugTracker/labels/Rogue
easy, thanks 😄
Assa doesnt have that many nor many big ones so theres no big list, but sub and outlaw has if you do !bugs in their respective channel
is there a excel or something for what mechanics our defensives work on?
is the st energy starving still there or solved for assa?
!design
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 like being energy starved
so i can watch people fuck up things in raid or m+
while waiting for energy
if enough people complain about the energy starving thing we're gonna get given a mind flay equivalent and its gonna suck
so real
real reconqnize real
I like feeling as though there is value to multi dotting things for energy. It’s a fun mini game. I don’t even know if it’s really worth it half the time but I do it anyway. Like the mobs that take super reduced damage on mugzee. Better believe outside of cooldowns I’m popping them with bleeds to try and get extra energy regent.
Without jokes i also like it.
iirc this was a .2% gain and thats if u dont miss any globals doing it be AWARE
Yeah I figure it’s probably not really worth unless you are playing flawlessly but I like it so I don’t care haha
Hey there all! I'm trying to help one of my raiders improve his DPS. He has great uptime, but I don't know enough about assassination to know what to recommend he improve on for better throughput.
If anyone has any tips or is willing to log review, it would be amazing!
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Rfw7326vAbZJpGWr?fight=39&type=damage-done&source=2789
!log
Hmm he didnt use trinket/pot on his opener deathmark for some reason
3 dm casts in over 6min
-1 trinket usage -1 pot on kind of a slow kill is a bit weirdge
40% highroller uptime
He is also overcapping a lot of combo points
Finisher on 5+ and only force 7 on darkest night good rule to follow
@golden loom remember my logs a few days ago
his logs have the same issues that i had i feel like
But he does dry shiv atleast 😄
Quite a common issue xd
XD
how do you see this
Wdym?
he wants to see how much people are finishing on in logs
doesnt the log show seal fate procs
so you can figure out if he's pressing mutilate at 5+
I've only been playing rogue a couple of months, but thinking of switching my main from Warlock to Rogue. My raid team is on break until next tier, so i have been doing heroic LoU on my rogue. Any pointers or suggestions? Is he ready for Mythic? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/z1AaRg8GPv2h6cK4?fight=3&type=damage-done
go to resources and change it to combo points
that guy builds to 7 cp every time so not great
You can also tell from how many mutilates he's casting between envenoms
And how little envenoms he's getting out
He's very prone to capping cp before dumping envenoms which is pretty wasteful
Like if u look at his second kingsbane after opener, he casts like 2-3 envenoms
Same with his ruptures as well, 3 mutilates + CTW for a rupture is a lot
hello. who can provide me a feedback based on my logs? I would accept any constructive criticism in order to improve my gameplay

Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
Can post it here and ppl around can help
What is "Pandemic" in WoW?
Pandemic is a game mechanic from the Shadowlands expansion (and continuing into later expansions) regarding damage-over-time (DoT) effects.
It allows you to refresh a DoT before it expires and extend its duration by the remaining time, up to a certain cap (usually 30% of the base duration).
This lets you “roll” your DoTs forward efficiently without losing uptime or damage.
What about Rupture?
Rupture is a rogue DoT ability that deals damage over time.
Pandemic Rupture means refreshing Rupture early to gain the benefit of extending its duration by the remaining time, maximizing damage.
"Don’t need to pandemic Rupture" means:
In some situations (like certain boss fights, rotations, or with specific talents or builds), you don’t have to refresh Rupture early to extend its duration.
You can let it run its full duration before reapplying, simplifying your rotation.
This might be because:
The extra complexity doesn’t significantly increase damage.
You want to prioritize other abilities or resources.
The fight mechanics or talents reduce the benefit of pandemic refreshing.
Resources -> combo points -> table
yea, don't bother with that, I don't do raid
Oh ur asking specifically about m+ rotation?
yes, strictly M+
I usually refresh rupture when it has <8s left
Think u might just be under ilvls or something
if i remember right it should be closer to 2-4 secs left. Could be wrong
Just do it under 8
and only if the target is going to live for some time to get the full use of it
But yeah depends on target hp
🙂
i see logs for 5.6m in cinder, whilst I was at 2.9m, with 675ilvl. but I guess the pulls make a big difference here right? there should not be 2.7m dmg difference from mistakes
and 10ilvl
Ive created some TellMeWhen icons that tell me exactly when I need to do rupture, when im over 5 CP and can use a certain finish ability etc. Helps here and there. Like only to use Fan of Knives with 3 or more targets in range, Crimson Tempest with 2 or more. Use Envenom after 4 CP etc. And yea basic UI shows them but not exactly when to use them meeting certain conditions. Just says when they are avaailable to use 🙂
I macro'd TT with shiv..is it ok? I see lots of red because of it
yes the TT shiv macro is correct
bigger pulls, bigger dps
wowanalyzer is not up to date for assa
you can get some things from it but overall it isnt great atm
yeah i wouldnt use wowanalyzer for anything atm
it still thinks echoing reprimand is in the game
ok, thx for letting me know
I know this isnt great but this is before I did TellMeWhen. Any quick thoughts on what i can do to correct? https://wowanalyzer.com/report/DXvtBJQzWFL79AVf/1-Normal+Stix+Bunkjunker+-+Kill+(5:21)/Dräconïs/standard/overview
oops
You're probably better off using a WA pack
than TMW
I know because i myself use TMW
lol. ummm ok 🙂 you dont like TMW?
i do
so, unlink other characters, there is just a standard raid spec for rogue? not one for individual bossses?
your first rupture was 12 seconds in, did kingsbane before deathmark, and no envenom before it. (your first envenom was 23 seconds in the fight)... I would definitely change your talent build to not be mythic spec (no crimson tempest etc)
idk dh doesnt change any of their talents either 
do you have the build you could cut and paste here?
But dh and rogue work differently, assa i think loses quite some dmg from m+ st to raid st
you also dont have to press slice and dice anymore
amongst other things

here's the last time I killed stix on heroic https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/rc8pmD4xw9PjqaXA?fight=14&type=summary&source=7 could copy that build if you want
Ah there it is lmao
yea, I totally messed that up. I just hit 80 and am learning rogue. I noticed after i hit those in the wrong order lol. I thought i needed to have them on CD all the time but in fact youre right, i needed to hit after i applied my DoTs lol
No i’m talking raid
dh plays their ragefire talents in keys
ty
I meant that rogue does have to change talents for raid and for m+, I understood that the rogue player wasn’t changing talents and had M+ build in use
But if it wasn’t like that, my bad!
that keys build is like
a hyperspecific one only for the highest keys
really shows people take random players builds with no context

Ohh the hybrid one?
the no garrote build
Bleed build is better for lower keys or hybrid ?
Lower go bleed
I’ve been using both and I don’t see that much difference
bleed
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

Cleave is for single target damage and insanely large aoe because of how much caustic and crimson tempest carry aoe damage.
Wow fr?
there is no objective choice with assa builds in keys
so what build do you suggest then for M+ specifically? Care to share? Im always willing to learn
Read the command
Bleed build
if you have a arcane mage that does giga prio dmg and nukes the big target, playing a prio dmg build that needs a big target to stay alive so you can cleave in aoe is not really THAT great
Unless rookery or 17+
and the wowhead guide
nah rookery on 10-13 you should not play cleave
I did research on different people in M+ and what they were using including using Archon, Warcraft logs etc
at the same time playing bleed for its big aoe blasting with a unholy dk + balance druid is not really great aswell cus you allready drown in aoe dmg
like this right
what never gets old is when i do a rookery for vault
overall its simply bleed, its the "Kinda best for most situation for the majority of players" thing
and get a wtf in chat after ending the first pack at 20m
Oh yeah that pack is lovely
Demise go brr
would love to see your build if you wouldnt mind sharing 🙂 see where I went wrong
doing a +10 key and enemys explode at 35% 
I messed it up like 3 days ago because I came back to play m+ to help a friend get 3k
And forgot about the frontal, I ate it
I did 10 without poisons on

paint me like one of your french girls
you dont need help
Cool. TY!
if you're underlevel, overall really doesnt matter much
i'd say thats especially true since youre 663, everyone is bis'd out
and have over 20 ilvls on you, so ilvl is the only statistical fair metric you have
and doing 97% is decent
i'M 676 NOW. AND FEELS SMOOTHER.
really decent for someone learning the spec
ty.
I gotta be honest though. I see everyone talking about Rogue being hard, but i find it easier and more enjoyable than Warlock.
Demo last tier and Destro this tier.
Yeah assa is the easiest of all 3.
rofl

all 3 rogue specs are kinda easy, people are turtles and so they see any amount of apm higher than 1 as difficult
that's only for outlaw really
sub and assa apm's are really close
by that logic, fury warrior would be really hard xd
sub has moments in which its apm is really high, then sleep for 40 seconds
and active times too?
I think so
cause dead times of sub are really really dead
and sub burst windows are really high from what i've come to understand
doing some reading, multi rupturing , is it only worth it with 2-3 targets? More? or just one and use Fan of Knives and Crimson Tempest instead?
that reminds me of WoD, I was trying to play Assa in HFC and it felt so sorry compared to sub
m+ correct?
Fok Conditions Post-Buff
Fan of Knives as a generator to replace ambush/mutilate:
- Baseline 3+ targets, -1 if talented into momentum of despair and thrown precision, +1 if talented into vicious venoms, +1 if talented into blindside. (Generally 5 with raid build, 3 with Bleed m+, 2 with Hybrid m+)
Fan of Knives with Clear the Witnesses Up: - Baseline 2+ targets, -1 if lingering darkness is up or you aren't talented into vicious venoms. With Vicious Venoms casting during lingering darkness is dps neutral.
Fan of Knives with Darkest Night Up: - Only on 2+ targets, or without Vicious Venoms talented. This is also a very very minor optimization
The most important to remember is the generator rules, clear the witnesses and darkest night optimizations can be effectively ignored as they are not meaningful DPS improvements
it depends on your talents and the number of targets
what do you mean use crimson tempest?
You want 5 stacks of scent of blood (5 ruptures) at all times if possible, more ruptures = more energy = more zugzug
crimson tempest up 100% of the time
assuming bleed build
but yeah you just keep tempest up time at 100% and thats it
i hope he doesnt mean build with fok and spend with ct
same
i had that in Elden Ring just right now lol
Crimson tempest is the finishing ability for AoE correct? so I guess i mean do you use FoK to build cp then use crimson after 5cp? or is multi rupture better
k
You maintain Crimson Tempest
It's not "the finishing ability for AoE"
That's Envenom, with Caustic Spatter up
Yeah, the worst sub apm gets is about 120, but only for 4 seconds between flag and your first sectech with shadowblades. The rest is a bit sleeper
crimson tempest and rupture are DoTs
Crimson tempest is a dot that also applies in AoE, rupture is a ST dot, you want both in your targets at all times
apply them, keep an eye on the timer, and refresh once the timer is almost out
its technically a finisher, but not spammable like envenom is
Caustic spatter is when you apply rupture and then use Mutilate . it spreads to 5 targets. How does it spread? using mutilate or ... I know I try to keep caustic splatter up as much as I can and trying to do the others you mentioned as well
this includes envenoms
yes ... but reading the guide doesnt make sense to me... I learn better by communication and feedback. Doesnt matter what the subject.. its just how I learn better
fair enough
you can only apply spatter to 1 (one) target
you cleave from that target
trust me, i read them but it only helps a little
to make it more clear, I cant read novels or stories etc because they are just words to me. I cant imagine what the charafters look like for example... after I watch a movie i can read the book and it makes more sense and more enjoyable
lol
Im not trying to apply spatter individually like I was curious about with rupture.
🙂
I just learn differntly then others
🙂
people fuck up fury
somehow
kingsbane and envenoms are poisons, rupture isnt
right , I meant multi applying rupture
i know that
When you come out of stealth, you'll have IC up for a while, that means your rupture and garrote will apply to your target + 2 other targets that are not affected by said bleeds
most tanks are half afk
Outside of IC windows, you manually rupture targets because bleeds good and you gain energy back
kk. is that why they say to use vanish on cd then?
no
oh lol
It’s a damage cd too
just use your stealth button between pulls
Because it triggers master assassin if you’re running it and ic too, but also silencing garrote if you run it
kk thanks. Sorry to be a bother but I appreciate the clarity
maybe it is a gpu issue then
i might download elden ring just to see if i have the same issue lol
We usually use vanish for IC spreading if theres a giga pull and you were unable to go stealth before your tank pulled, which will help you zug zug, other than that you use it for more dmg if you're playing MA. I'm a pleb and i don't run high keys so i just use it for giga pulls IC spread
If you have to choose between using it for MA or spreading bleeds slightly later you typically choose the bleeds
kk ty
But obviously dont sit on 2 charges for too long
dry shivs hitting like a truck on ptr yeesh
Theres an explanation about them on the wowhead guide
Shiving for a big darkest night during lingering darkness, instead of holding for kingsbane
That
sometimes you can do it twice in a lingering darkness window
it depends where the cards fall on your darkest night / deathmark timing

Shiv has 30s cd, so you cannot use two during lingering unless you dont use two during deathmark
i guess they mean having 2 charges ready
But you shouldnt
then use one and then the other one, all within the window since shiv effect lasts like 10s
Oh like getting two DNs
if you delay the deathmark shiv slightly it can sometimes be your first global after deathmark expires
Not 2 shivs
you have 2 shiv charges, so the first of those two comes back with around 6-8 seconds left on lingering darkness
oh true... my math aint mathing
probably going to be more common with the longer shiv duration next season too
Anything is possible through god and anime
No way to fit 2 darkest nights in 1 shiv even with updated duration from tier and perfect rng
i didnt say fit in 1 shiv
God is dead and anime is cringe
i said fit 2 in darkest night during shiv windows
one shiv right after deathstalkers mark ends, another one before the 30s timer finishes on another shiv
yes, and that first shiv takes place several seconds before the second one expires
So it takes like 10-16 seconds or whatever for 1 charge to come back
Well dm is 16 seconds duration no matter what
And you either shiv global before or after (dependent on tier idk who cares) so that comes back 15 seconds after
Cause shiv cd is 30 sec
The extra combo points from forced induction is what makes a dry shiv. Otherwise it’s just a shiv with a DN in it. Even if say the extra duration after dm lasts into lingering
But idk if it even lines up that you would get DN right after dm
And I’m not gonna check
yeah you dont get supercharger on the 1st one
Well anywas u still one shiv for the backend of KB
Assa is better or outlaw now ? For m+
Like today? Or after buffs on ptr?
i think you can use either
If you have to ask, it doesn't matter
Also kinda depends on what other specs you're playing with
is assa or outlaw better on live
ye i mean my point is just that both are strong on live and its legit impossible to tell which is better even after months of people playing both specs
so
they fit into different comps
damage profile is vastly different
Both good now, both unknown for 11.2 🙃 people just gotta chill out and roll with it
Sin is bad in 11.2
The new tier set is far too dog for our class to be half decent
And not to mention it plays like a big ass mf
Based ross
Designed by ai or someshit
Ah but is it better than outlaw? 🤔
Outlaw is back now I think
iam sitting ehre at bandit mythic and my deathmark is doing almost no dmg
Assa weak*
what am i doing wrong oO
Maybe more buffs
Post log
Idk why ur looking at deathmark dmg
But in general the deathmark itself will do a negligable amount of damage, its damage is from the other effects it causes
Its useless
Deathmark only gives faster kingsbane stacks and high lethal dose stacks
The dmg itself can fuck itself
We dont need it
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i will post logs after raid, maybe someone is so kind to look at one. we did 4 boss kills and i sucked in everyone. normally iam a m+ player but my hc logs were not that bad.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/draenor/mygmá can anyone tell me why the fuck i suck ass . thx 😄
Just from my uneducated eyes, it appears you are in your M+ spec not a raid spec.
Sin is dead 😦 ⚰️
what to sim for m+ dungeon slice?
? dont think the spec was wrong.
Nah spec is alright
Yes
ty
- Take arterial instead of tiny toxic
- press envenom before your deathmark
- don’t desync cooldowns
- stop hitting rupture on everything you see you only need to rupture secondary targets if you’re low on energy
- you’re pressing fok way too much, it’s only used on 2 target if you have clear the witnesses or 5 targets without
- your second shiv is almost always late or missing entirely, which is also not helping your desyncing and late kingsbanes
That was just from Rik, lemme look at oab
But he had CT and it should only be used in m+ for lots of targets with bleed build correct?
He wasn't running it in fights. If you go to each fight you can see the spec
It just shows the m+ build on the overall summary
Oh ok. So that doesn't show the spec at fight time. Good to know. Thanks.
Yeah on oab you also overcapped a ton of cp, I think it’s really just an issue of you doing like the first 30 seconds fine, and then things start to go downhill randomly, like you start having a ton of downtime, you’re pressing fok like 3x in a row, not pressing shiv, Kingsbane is like 6 seconds into your deathmark. Dunno what exactly is causing it but like the first 25-30 seconds and the last minute-ish of these pulls are completely different people
You press envenom before deathmark so your poisons stack up faster on kb
Just repeat what you did on your opener every minute, chill out on the foks, and be a little more deliberate when you’re sniping energy
Instead of this like idk, panic? And just hitting things
Also every now and then I see a mut or something on a reel assistant
Should always be hitting boss
The most you do for the reel assistants is just rupturing them and moving on with your life
ok then thank you helps very much
Is Hekili ani good for sin? For people learning?
well, the problem with those things (and same with the ingame rotation helper) is that they are decent if you wanna do allright, but actually LEARNING is a different thing
cus you kinda dont learn to play your spec, you learn to follow pictures
but the thinking why you do X is left out
if you just wanna hit buttons and not be dead weight, sure
but if you wanna actually learn your class/spec, you open a guide and try to memorize your basic rules and work up from there
agreed - if you want to perform well and actually understand your class, then those kind of addons are not a good idea
also if that addon ever stops being updated or is disabled by Blizzard you won't know how to play your class anymore
So it is correct to ignore clear the witnesses on pure ST ?
getting up there
idk if imma just drop my last 3 dinar on jastor or not
was hoping to do a reclear with this char
Does anyone have Ptr Build for M+?
Builds haven’t changed
The no garrote build?
I wouldn’t play that one but I don’t push super high
!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.
Same on ptr, not much has changed 
cool
Is caustic spatter around the rogue or the mob?
the mob
Ty! 
I played ass this season. I was contemplating swapping to outlaw. I heard outlaw is currently outperforming on M+ and close in raid on the ptr? Anyone have actual numbers?
did you mean to ask this in #assassination ?
Yeah i guess that would make sense sorry just used to chatting in here 😅
Also not sure what you mean by "the numbers"
Theres no hard numbers
Tuning shifts all the time on ptr
Just people that have played on the ptr
Trinkets havent been tuned
PTR numbers are literally always ussules
nothing is tuned, people are testing, stuff is bugged
Yeah I just thought with it being close to ending it would be "less" buggy 

mate, ptr number just never said anything
and never will
nobody does or can play the ptr for numbers
stuff gets tuned every week, and then more when the stuff releases
bugs everywhere
Fair im just restless i guess haha
people that go crazy over "X spec will be insane, look at the PTR" are the same guys that jerk about tier lists 
like, look at literally every PTR ever
and wich spec was "insane on the PTR"
and then at logs 4 weeks later on the liveserver
The numbers mason. What do they mean
Red number bad
Green number good
Hope this helps
wow, green name racism
mfw red green colorblind
Then all of your numbers will be mid
uhm, akshualy red green colorblind means that its hard to see the difference bettwen both colors when they overlap 🤓
sorry can't read this cause I'm grey/white blind
Brother you sure youre not just natty blind to everything?
so thats why you dont review my logs
yo, is there anything in raid that is super giga bis or are us m+ semi-free from it?
sim or check out wowhead if you're too lazy to sim
how can i sim the ptr when i dont load ptr
oh i didn't see anything about ptr in your question
probably the 2min forge trinket
i don't think we really know yet because there can still be tuning
assuming the crit trinket gets nerfed
oh i just assumed cause who is still playing the game atm lol

you also need boots from the council boss which dont drop anywhere else
do the boots have an aura that says 'instantly invited to pugs?'
that would require rerolling
dw i have my mage waiting
every class i play is never meta unless i am a tank then its always meta
rogue has been just under meta for a while now
yh ive mained monk and rogue
last few years lol
i know the pain
was forced to play mw in DF for a bit as it got so bad lol
higher likelihood of rogue in meta if priest/vdh get nerfed imo
i'd rather not play than pug
asking if anything from raid is giga bis when PTR hasn't seen any trinket tuning
whenever i have played tank i just luck into meta tank for some reason

i mean surely boots will be
boots yes
blizzard dont do tuning
aside from that though who fucking knows

i think people just don't like playing tank so you will generally get invited because they are much more rare than dps
i mean i also played bdk in SL s3/s4 and vdh everywhere else, its not like the tank meta changes
load VDH and you are 90% guarenteed meta spec
fatebound will be bad for sin and deathstalker will be bad for sub
am i prophet or what
if its a bear or prot war i just dont play the game
dont even like seeing them in my damn parties lol
weird people main those classes
Everytime I have invited a bear this season its been a big mistake
Cuz I always get somebody that has like 7% uptime on ironfur and isnt using frenzied regen
real aaf
have you tried inviting twinks instead
bears are scary
I wouldnt go that far

ok sorry, its priest isnt it
Pedo is Havoc
there are two types of druids, pedos and yet to be revealed pedos
havoc is just wannabe rogues
why would you not use ironfur
its like 20% of your aoe dmg lmao
they prob think killing spree change is good lol
havoc isn't the pedos, havoc is the pedo victims
Idk bro I didnt ask him why he wasnt pressing iron fur 
maybe dont type shit like that in a open discord server :3
tbf only druids that this applies to would get upset
man, you can macro it to thrash/mangle and its fine 
guardian rn is literally "if rage avaible, press iron fur, whats Maul?"
i reckon meta will be
vdh, priest, druid, mage, dk
no its shity edgelord "humor"
I wasnt aboutta ask or tell him
you have uwu in your discord name though
I was more concerned that he made it to 10s without pressing iron fur or frenzied regen
in an open discord server! clutches pearls
what are you trying to say with that
are you fucking insane
What is happening here
i stated a fact about his name


Can i jerk something else
the best is when people choose their class solely according to what's broken on PTR a month before the patch
and then doom and whine about it when it inevitably gets fixed
nah
the best is when people choose their class according to the yapping streamers do
something something sub funnel
i know i'm fucking old because i keep forgetting that streamers are actually influential
easy fix
play mage
always good
good kitten
that is what people said about rogues before
i played mage last tier but i was frost 😦
mage is always good
I feel like DPS spec's that only can go DPS need to be always good
mage is always good is a frking fact
like, thats not a dumb joke
its REALLY rare that mage is genuinely mediocre
mage is always good in raids and very often meta in m+
even warlock doesnt come close to it, because warlock tends to be Meh in m+ most of the time
And get random pings for stuff
the problem isnt mage being always good
its vdh being always good
and raid buffs being dumb
in m+ content making mage good
What does any of this have to do with assassination?
tww is a dk expansion
you're not gonna like it here if you think we're always on topic
ask a question about assa and we can talk about assa
Are they gay?
ask a question and someone will direct you to the pins or wowhead guide

go ahead
Assass players?
sometimes
AssX2
and whether fatebound gets reworked or not
What the hell how did it somehow get more unhinged while I was gone
Well I mean they have double ass
isnt a double ass just boobs?
isn't fatebound unplayable for both specs?
id say boundfeet is playable
i dont get why feetbound isnt even a good hero talent
feetbound would be too op a hero talent, blizzard is scared
we need to start a petition for them to rework it into feetbound
@balmy condor can you petititon?
its one of those things where they are technically correct because it IS a bit dumb that DK has grip as its raidbuff when grips are sometimes not used
but at the same time, its sich a pathetic outcry that you cant take it seriously
mfs act as if DK sees 0play when Unholy has this tier more logs then all 3 rogue specs combined while not even being that strong in raid, and rogue has a unqiue raidbuff
- the fact that TWW is a expansion where DK crushes everything its entire runtime lol
"ypu will never bring a DK if you dont need grips except on 1 fight!!!" is such a "heroic raider that watched world first" take, its insane in how stupid it is
yes
is feetbound like the chinese lotus foot thing
Cool
look we have established, druids are pedos, havoc are victims and rogues are gay
havocs are victims of what
oh
What are DKs then?
DKs are raid buffs
Who do they even buff
Themselves?
themselves
Not even necessarily, cloak seems to suck right now so the boot effect is only like 0.3-0.4%, so If the stats on the boots and bad for your class it could just be neutral/not worth
what
feetbound
cloak boots and ring will all be bis
I guess?
and turbo broken
if they are not for even a single class
blizz will mega buff them
to be
its decided
if you don't have them and someone else has you're eternally behind with no way of catching up
I mean the cloak is bis
okay well you guys have fun with that I guess
But the damage proc isnt strong
can i ask 1 serious question?
would be a first for you from what I've seen

OWNED
because were not whispering?
he looks at this channel
make you happy
until you oversleep and then you jump out of the bed shouting "fuck"
i mean you can budget any stats on boots for sin so it having any additional damage effect makes it BiS automatically, no?
what is the best ( not numbers but fun wise) season was rogue ever?
df s3 ?
why df s3?
i mean, fun is subjective af
Nuh uh
whispyr has no opinion
wiushasd
he is the sin hivemind
bames jonds having a stronk
lend
bames jonds la feet boomer
Yeap i just wanna know which spec should i play next season xD i was main fire mage this season then i was main arcane for long time in this season and i hate this spec and gameplay i just wanna go back too my outlaw rogue for fun game play xD i was main outlaw in dragonflight
i would say best spec would be feral druid
Survival?
3rd spec of dh would be bis
Played it in season 1 warwithin xD
tomb of sargeras
Realy?
why?
i have no idea
Lool
Hmmm fair. Then just play feral
wasnt there a ring in one of the blackrock raids where it like stored all your damage for 15 seconds then burst it all out or something? I remember seeing the damage meters be hilarious back then lol
i can play any spec and class btw not a high score player im 3400 io not going for 0.1% so i dontthink so be meta or not is that much matter xD
Is feral meta?
Just want a fun spec
People that care for meta are pedos
Hahahah
as a rogue you had an insane impact in raids cause everything required a soak and was cloakable, sub with death from above was fun, assa was doing big stuff with the shoulders, fights were interesting and hard but felt fresh, artifact weapons and legendaries weren't as cringe 3 patches in anymore
was it this?
i am once again nitpicking the wowhead guide (WA/macros/addons page has a duplicate sentence about weakauras2 and the wowinterface link points to curseforge)
Why are pedos still being talked about, is this the fel hammer now
I mean when has rogue been bad
Fun spec... hmmm braindead ret?
They are rhe hated ones bro sick ppl fck pedos ❤️
hellfire citadel trinket https://www.wowhead.com/item=124225/soul-capacitor
This epic trinket of item level 45 goes in the "Trinket" slot. Requires Hunter, Rogue, Shaman, Monk, Druid, or Demon Hunter. It is looted from Soulbound Construct.
whenever i play it
its been a long time since rogue was genuinely shit

i only remember rogue being needed in everything due to skips lol
yeah but like why in here
Nahhhhhh pls i want lots of levels too use i love feels im doing damage not spammuing 1 button and being on top dps
i didnt start it xD
oh we should get this back lol
Enhance if you want piano class
yeah i was thinking about it i also played enhance in season 1 was fun
Whispyr if you could make 1 change to sin, hero talent or not what would it be
honestly, prob more benefit just playing with a broken calculator than playing wow
I like how everyone stopped playing enhance
nathria i think?
does rework both hero talents count as 1 change
as soon as the spec didnt do 6m openers
Then thats what youre bound to play now. Cant change.
Hahaha
We can count it as 1 change yea
you should main tank
The class that annoys me super hard is dk
Stfu
Hell yeah mets go gearing enhance for nwxt season in next season ythey still need good comp with PI from priest?
oh so... that is because everyone who plays it is hmm... 6 letters long and starts with an r ?
really good
I dunno. Never gave a fuck about where PI is good
You type like you are either intoxicated or stroking out, are u good
Ah they have a talent which give them haste in CD and if they be with a priest in gp they can choose another talent for more dps and get the haste on CDs from PI you lwarn something roday brother
bro is on one
One thing i appreciate is they actually have hero talent diversity
Im little bit drunk and not used too type alot with phone sorry about that❤️
but stone bulwark totem is the worst 3min defensive ever
Thing is, I dont play enhance much so cant help ya. Just suggesting what I still had fun with even if I didnt master it.
Totemic is pretty sick as rsham
Got it
if you guys didn't play rogue, what would you play
so i decided play outlaw most fun class in the game
Evoker
Mage/hunter MM
another game
Bit edgy
no
no it's still good apparently
Dk is completly cringe if you love mobility classes
its a simple spec 
Am I gonna be cringe for playing it I meant
no probably gonna be owning
last time i tried frost dk i felt it was kind of spammy but still very visceral
someone in my m+ group is already prepping it as an alt
are you gonna complain about Grip and raidbuffs and say every 5min how your artifact should have been frostmourne?
if yes, cringe
ok but dw frost was a mistake
wasnt dw frost a thing since basically forever
and it was always a mistake
thats kind of true yeah
frost is 2h gigachad obliterates
for anything
anything else is wrong
2h frost is for boomers who want to rp as arthas
wotlk was the best iteration of dk. change my mind
i didnt even play wotlk
Arthas is badass who doesn't wanna RP as him
i just know quality when i see it
Isnt unholy better?
according to unholy players the spec is dead because no spec with a target cap can ever be good ever
RP as a whiny brat that got corrupted by the first opportunity?
AND he was a Paladin, which makes it even worse
every hero gets corrupted in WoW
the real gigachad is garrosh
it's a meme at this point
who did nothing wrong
cringe jokes about orc hitler doing nothing wrong aside, i respect that he never gave a fuck right up to the end
True
garrosh didnt get corrupted, he just was orc hitler from the start
which is impressive
they didnt pussy out of his story, he owned that shit until he got disenchanted
better idea
bomb a elven city
silvermoon still exists
could make a crater there
they did that to themselves
bomb whatever hole the vulpera crawled out of
not as egregious
gilneas is kinda cool though
at least they have a human form
that you never see
true
tauren exists
ghuun
ghuun gave us a fantastic emote
that i cant use bc i dont have nitro atm
but that means he cant be a bad villain
i mean, ghuun is a normal "force of nature" enemy
makes stuff bad, you went and defeated him
yes
lowk it makes you think
why are all these titan keeper constructs
so suspectible to corruption
titans trying to learn how old gods worked and made their "own"->ghuun was the result, when they where defeated he just festered and slowly broke out
because they are near corrupting stuff for literally over 10k years
like, you have to remember that .ost titan things where not supposed to be endless containment cells
@balmy condor We got any 11.2 trinket sims?
the titans just got kinda forced away
where numbers whippy
so now there are facilitys with automated systems that run for over 10k years and stuff starts to fail
world soul turned into titan corrupted by sargeras
titans are manifestations of a planets soul, argus was the titan of, well argus
and extremely weakend cus he was used for the quick legion rez machine
boomkins exists
was doing a 11 and a DK flamed me for not doing more overall with max IL but i was just running the high level key build because i couldnt be bother to swap to bleed

i mean, how is he supposed to know that
its cringe to bring up dmg when the key is going fine
everyone is
everyone also was in the #2 eu guild that killed ragnaros/LK back in the days, but on a different acc
things dont even live long enough for my second shiv XD
did 4 million overall people are so crazy XD
I wish my keys had people like this unironically
Most of the time I do 11s or 12s the overall ends up looking like this
wtf 😄
Suboptimal
i asked you not to post this wtf
It was a top and we wiped 3 times to the last boss cuz the ret and rogue kept getting hit by the pigs
I know it wasnt you king dw
It was your twin
the hated him because he spoke the truth
Im about to speak some massive truth tho unironically
@gritty laurel

apparently even though its been months (?) the world ain't ready for that conversation
12.0 even
@normal mist 
@humble verge 
@rotund oak 
We’re in the future bud
holy pings
I have an obligation to upkeep a meme I started by accident
no they add another hero tree thats equally as cursed
if not more
and dont fix either of the existing two
Not feasible
