Gotta play hybrid/cleave, or my friends clown my st dam
Are we expecting any more class tuning before the patch release?
No clue, I'm kind of expecting numbers tweaks only at this point on
Yeah were quite close to the patch
I was asking because i was curiouse on how our sims are looking
No talent build changes i assume
Actually, with the recent tuning, have there been any changes to m+ builds?
None that I'm aware of, no clue if VV is still going to be the play or if we go back to MA
I'm hoping its still VV because having vanish free for mark stuff is nice
Bleed build is the last bit of fun i had on rog in the past 2 years
!bugs
Rogue Bug tracker: https://github.com/SimCMinMax/WoW-BugTracker/labels/Rogue
I did not play the bleed build all season
Didint like it
Though kinda troll for the weekly 12s
But who cares about trolling when you still time keys ++
I'm hoping both remain solid so there's the choice
I think it might be whispyrs birthday today - if so, happy birthday whispyr!
It is!
My favorite twink is a year older. Love him sm
Slowly becoming old like us 
Eew, grtting older
do we have any ptr sims?
Happy birthday Whispyr of rogues
ye he blocked me i cant dm him anymore unfortunatly
unlucky
I didn't wanna DM it felt rude, I'll just stick to the message in chat 
nah it's not rude he likes the personal approach
i read that as "I didn't wanna deathmark..."
Happy birthday Whispyr
Pressing X to doubt

Hi guys! Have only 3 cartel chips, what trinket is more viable to buy, hero HoC or Myth Pacemaker? Have Hero Whistle and Magnet now. Both trinkets are simming quite the same...
!sims
Simulations:
Bloodmallet: https://bloodmallet.com/index.html
If you can buy myth pacemaker that also means u can buy myth signet
You need kezan or you’re dam will be low
Yes, is Signet better than Pacemaker?
even hero track?
KEZAN?
cambush trolling the guy
o_o
but yeah the on-use trinket is more important usually
dont trust
Yeah G don’t get kezan
And it still goes off in certain dungeons
Sim it tho fr
Yeah sims is life
I mean if he doesnt have either HoC or Signet, you get one of those on the highest track possible
not that hard
did you sim both at the highest ilvl you could?
HoC 671 and Pace 684, yes got these results
yeah and signet / hoc are the same trinkets
so if u get that on myth track, its a clear winner
maybe I'm not as bad as I think I am. I basically only pug, just had a very good group and my damage increased so much. ^^maybe I should get some friends 😛
friends are OP
Wikipedia told me HoC tho
keep in mind you need to have way more mastery (number) than anything else for Priory to work properly
Ask Jeeves told me HoC tuah
What ilvl should I have for 10s?
I did 7s with my S1 gear and that worked fine. (like 636) and now I'm at like 648.
ok so I guess I wait a bit to not be a burden ^^
You could time it probs np, people going to /inspect and link your gear tho
With a good oracle discipline you can even do 12 easy
Hey guys new sin rogue here - when do ya'll swap from bleed -> splatter in M+ typically? Around 12s?
Doesn't the Bleed Build use Caustic?
yep! Just have seen some mixed logs and wasn't sure if there was a preference really
I mean I'm far from a top tier player but I was doing fine in my 12s
you always take spatter
like, that sole talent is still going to give you tons of damage
even in a bleed build, it's going to do a shitton more than internal bleeding
75% AP on Rupture application just can't compare to 40% of all nature damage you do being delivered to multiple targets
!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.

Go to YouTube, there’s a guy “tanks for watching” killed underpin ?? With all specs and has a guide for every spec
ty
Yw, my rogue isn’t geared for pve this season so just did it on my havok dh
he only have outlaw?
sin is probably the worst rogue spec at underpin
but with how much gear we have it should just die

i did it at 650 as sub
should have about the same mobility
just kick balls at the bots once your cds are down
Underpin sucks ass compared to zekvir
do it with a interact keybind
clicking is dogshit
his model just always blocks them
it's not only the clicking on bombs
its how having the adds IN the explode radius does nothing so you always have to run and really kick em against the wall
how u need 3 bombs for an add and sometimes one just spawns exactly opposite of the others
I'm a relatively new Rogue and I've been headbutting Underpin ?? for about a month now, and unlike with Zekvir I don't think I'll feel satisfied if I eventually get it
It's an honest to god bollocks of an encounter
Stupid little green bastard
it felt like i was busy full time with clearing shield ->kick bombs -> clear shield -> kick bombs
the golden mount looks so sick tho
Kick all the bombs
I only do Delves so these bosses are my seasonal goal really
There are a lot of things to have in mind for our rotation. What get me kinda confused is how kingsbane works and when to shiv.. Lest see if i understand. I should use shiv in the Last kingsbane seconds right? Also i should always open from stealth with ambush for deathstalker and darkest night buff which let me envenom like if it had max combo pints and guarented crit. Thats it?
update - switched to my boomkin and did it in 3 tries
Kingsbane is like a dot and the dmg will increase per each poison i apply so maintaining envenom buff will help me and shiv will make the dot hit way more since it amplify nature dmg taken right? So using shiv during the last kb seconds its the play. Im right? Thanks
You're right yeah. if you're playing double shiv you shiv before KB and then shiv again when the first shiv ends
if not, shiv only on the last 7ish seconds of kb
Only thing you gotta understand that your both shivs need to overlap the entire kingsbane window
the rest doesnt matter
And the darkest night buff? Its like that i get it after ambush from stealth? So i insta envenom for full dmg and crit?
" Also i should always open from stealth with ambush for deathstalker and darkest night buff which let me envenom like if it had max combo pints and guarented crit." if there is no target marked yet OR you dont have Darkest Night buff, you open with ambush
You ambush - garrote-rupture then 2x mut and then envenom
If you have darkest night, you just 7cp envenom and apply it
Its important to stay 50% energy for the dmg buff?
no
isnt he talking about opener?
Assuming you're talking about sanguine blades, you sometimes get to be above 50% in ST, other than that, in AoE scenarios, you're always above 50%
Aoe its like this. Ambush main target and try to garrote and rupture the largest numbers of target i can then crimson blade and the focus envenom on the main target thats it?
Is this specifically for M+ or single target only
If M+, usually I'll just bleed everything first then ambush my prio target
i do the same
And then death Mark and kingsbane main target and splatter will spread that dmg
M+
If you're playing m+ i recommend you playing bleed
Sorry for being dumb but i want to try my Best and try to understand it
bleed doesnt play kingsbane
You put yourself at a disadvantage by not asking questions
The dmg from aoe is splatter spreading the dots on the target plus the ruptures, garrotes and crimson dmg
Yes
Which build are you playing?
https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/rogue/assassination/talent-builds-pve-dps#bleed This is what you should try to play first before trying the other variations.
"Why" you ask

Well i have the same s1 build. Not sure which one is it.
I want a good boss dmg with good aoe like a balance
By reading that cleave seems the pick for me
let me just tell you that cleave will only work properly in high keys
What key range are you doing?
0 XD.. Im 607 ilvl.. So i should go bleeds
you're basically naked
Ye XD
Ah the bleeds build dont take kingsbane
1 less CD to worry about
kingsbane is kind of a weak sister these days
tons of mistakes, many times didn't had the cuastic splatter up beause I was busy trying not to die xD (not too familiar with the dungeon), ilvl 648. I guess caustic should be on top? the difference between ct and caustic is quit huge 😮 have the basic wow m+ bleed build - was a +7
Nah seems fine, crimson usually does more as bleed
details breakdown doesn't really tell you much. if you want a more accurate answer, log some keys or raid
CT is huge. theres a reason its getting nerfed
Got the mount, fixed my parse, life is good 
just keybind "interact"
how would we feel about a deathmark rework
where its a buff and not a debuff
i don't think anyone would disagree with that
switching targets is already a big weakness for sin
especially given the nature of some of the upcoming dungeon and raid mechanics
im just tired of losing my dots to baby cages and paralysis

how do you imagine it would work as a buff? i can't imagine they'd allow the effect to apply to our bleeds on all targets, unless it were much weaker
increase bleed damage by 50% or sum
or maybe crimson tempest apply a from stealth benefited gar and rupture to everything hit
idfk
as long as it does more than the piss poor excuse of a 2 minute cd it is now and isnt a debuff im happy
bc its a sad truth that vanish is and feels like a stronger 2 minute cd for assa than deathmark
i guess you're talking about m+ here
rework it back into vendetta and just make it a damage amp buff
yeah i guess it's underwhelming in aoe in 5-mans, but we're not exactly lacking damage in that context
and pvp but mostly m+ perspective
im mostly curious on the pve perspective of current DM bc in pvp DM is atrocious
tbh i just think its not a cd that feels good to press
u press true shot on a hunter and u know ur gonna go ham, same with call of the wild or avatar on warrior, etc. dm feels like it doesnt do much , like u press it and forget its even there
You need to make details bigger to see any actual effect
But yeah I mean I think it’s a good flavourful cooldown but the fact you don’t feel it in gameplay is meh
i agree, esp compared to the other rogue specs, u can feel when dance and blades are rolling, u can feel adr rolling but no real change for assa
i mean yeah, im just pointing at, u can feel a difference between being in and out of cds
Grats 🐐
Thank you!
I mean in single target you deffo feel when deathmark
Is active
Cause you suddenly have infinite energy
That’s true. I do far more keys than raid so that’s my default thought state lol
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i mean, ADR is the probably worst example, cus outlaw at this point is balanced around having a near 100% uptime on it and it "feels off" because it becomes near unplayable
ADR dropping is like dropping rupture/garrote on assa
might be a stupid question, but does sin get access to atrophic poison for the DR?
yes
yeah its in the general rogue tree
all rogue specs do
and it's not in a competitive area of the tree
essentially free to take
cool thank you, im just not at home to check and i think im signing up for S3 on my rogue for guild raid
Welcome, fellow sadomasichist
what's wrong with rogue in raid
How was assa in raid testing compared to outlaw? Anyone got the scoop?
i dont like that spec swapping is a thing for certain bosses or bwteen M+ or raid
min/max thing i guess
If you ain't progging rwf, just play what you enjoy
I mean u can 1 trick just fine
i like sin, feels cooler than outlaw, but i think outlaw is just more tankier?
I mean it is tankier but also is never the "go-to" prog spec anyways 
After 2 seasons of assa it's getting boring but I can't justify swapping if imma do less DMG lmao
I mean thats on you
what makes it tankier though? like is it just the extra stam?
this tier was relatively balanced
extra vers and also stacks vers
we are doing some 13/14/15s i know bleed is 99% best in this situation but our ST bosses are taking FOREVERRRRR.. is the forced induction still the go to still? Imma do !builds too but want to know

What comp
well we are vdh and sin rogue, the rest we are just pugging or friends are comign in and out to get them to 3k
Yeah thats a skill issue then
im 20 ilvls below them all and doing about the same if not more dps so its abit of a weird carry situation but they arent bad
yh thats what im saying though, shall i go FI build to get that ST up?
no matter build
if you're 20 ivlls below and gapping them in ST that's def a skill issue (on their part)
no im gapping them in overall
yeah that means you’re playing with potatoes
my ST is like.. near them-ish in CDs
rookery was just disgusting just now
last boss made me cry IRL
yeah a lot of people switch to sub for last boss in ROOK
yh it is yikes but imma play with them as end of season and guildies
but im just wondering what build to go lol
to compensate for them being potatoes
hybrid has better ST but your overall will suffer
nah hybrid is about the same
the no garrote one is slightly better
or just play sub
what is sub stat weights?
yeah
haste is just a bit less value
it likes everything but haste
oh thats fine ll
i don't think you need different gear to play sub
but haste is still fine
lol
can someone link me the code for no garrote sin
and also the m+ sub build lol
❤️
yeah that means you play with uhh
will it make up 1 min?
rookery is def a boss dungeon so you need good ST
i’ve +2ed 12s with a 2m overall mage
frost was 685 and did about 200k less overall than me
unno
im 665 lol
i have never seen a frost mage do respectable damage
I’ve seen rets do over 2m st
yh the ret did 3.5m overall
he was fine in ST too
but regardless, best build for me in this situation lol?
best build is to not group with a 685 frost mage who does less ST than a bad ST spec in a large ST dungeon
you can play the FI build but it need a big target to live dm+kb for you to do a lot of damage
yeah else its moot
@raw marlin
@marsh fjord
whaddup homie
yeah pug mages are almost always bad, cause the good ones have guild groups
pug overalls are highly dependent on pulls
People really dont have an excuse to lose to a 665 rogue at 684
there is quite a skill gap between good mages and other ones
With most classes but mages its massive
yeah, but as he said, the good ones already have groups, lol

Anyone have any tips or tricks on trying to parse on M gallywix?
just all uptime on boss?
spatter adds
if you want orange
the little ones that spawn during p2, are they close enough to the boss to spatter to?
im looking for a blue lmao
If you want to parse boss dmg you can never go off boss and max melee range his aoe but you will get less overall logs because not that much add dmg pad
all i have are greys and one green heh
If your logs are all grey and green there is probably some rotations errors which hold you back
Post some logs here for advice
the boss has a pretty big hit box so it's not too hard to stand by the adds and still hit him
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1nANVZd96hGbCFYa?fight=15&type=damage-done&source=50
From kill last week, critique away.
I was on dispel duty of the adds in p1 for for a bit, but this one should be clear
Two hunters and your stuck wasting shiv on the adds. Gross
two hunters a boomy and a dragon
lmao
first dispel kind of lines up with dry shiv
If you delay cds for mechanics you still want them used at the same time. So you would hold dm here till kb is ready to use like normal. Also your shivs are sometimes spread apart to far
Thank you, Ill work on that tomorrow.
We killed the boss at 7:02 today ^^ Was great
I know near the last set of add KBs timer gets kinda scuffed
eww
8:04 for us, our dps was kind of low apparently
thats a decent time
Swapped cooldowns to the proper times which is a huge dps boost. First kill I just sent them on cooldown almost.
im tempted to just cloak and run on top of a good aoe class
if i get bigger badder bomb
to pad more

just look at lorggs
you delay 2nd kb
send one shiv solo
else its pretty on cd
Yeah, I did the hold til 3 minutes thing this time for deathmark and then on cooldown from there
Should have checked lorggs properly but, it worked out.
Yeah, but you get to p2? Stonks.
It was our first reclear so we only had like, 14 pulls?
i climbed 700k dps on the 7min dm set
Not the worst.
We have so much aoe padders that i kinda ignored adds on progress. I fully padded boss dmg 😄
lmao ofc on my 3rd rogue i get kezan in the tw chest
Our gally kill times so far. I still find it funny that we got like +6% dmg raid buff and other power gain and we managed to kill the boss 20 sec faster then on prog xD
I forgot that I had a mythic kezan in my bags, should have swapped to that
i forgot to take mine off for cauldron

I didn't even want the kezan it just appeared in the vault so its just, OKAY THEN SURE I GUESS
thats how i got capo
@slender valve
Our kill time went up by 2 seconds 
I have no clue how we managed that
How long is the engrage timer for gally?
9 something
I think its longer than that, we didn't hit enrage unless I missed it
probably is over 9
if you consider people are just killing in 8 when its super nerfed
yah gally enrage if you insta break is like 9:30
I think most of the time enrage is like 9:40, 9:45
meanwhile honestly is doing speed kills in almost half that

blizzard is actually insano nerfing raids these days
it's crazy
I've only been in for one kill so far but it was 7:10. Only timing I knew was holding for the 2:50~ add set, then just sent on cd. Terrible parse because of ilvl and playing super safe though lol
parsing in tww has been nothing but cringe
what
how in dafak
just better I guess
is this the right build i have here?
over a minute over other people
but the sheer amount of greed and fucking pad that you need to parse these days is just stupid
than most guilds
yes that's the raid build
I gave up on stix, the boomkin and ele shamans in my raid make it impossible but I just want to see funny big number
i can not for the life of me find the damn m+ build to help with ST lol.. this one work or nah?
just misdirect your devoker
no lmao
that's why it's a raid build
Okayge
stealing it off a m+ run though lol
else i would
I guarantee you that you are not
i mean his guild name is idiot
yeah so you stole it from a high io player
but that is not what they played in m+
that is what they logged out with
after raid
no its legit
the log from the m+ dungeon lol
then they swapped halfway through
its a rookery
stop inviting 2mil mages
if they were doing weird testing
they probably swapped before the last boss
I promise you, no one is playing m+ without crimson tempest
and especially not without scent
yeah that is what i thought lol
Idk why ppl think CT got nerfed
the most dumbfuck of rogues stumble into those two talents by sheer luck
it looks like on vod he was this then swapped to the previous one
ct pretty good
Are we talking about dropping ct in M+ 
Overrated
Caustic new meta
Ur cucked

Death
cause it does crazy damage?
Garrote talents still cooked in m+, good in dawnbreaker tho
no, it's just el classico of copying build and the talents don't make sense cause it's not the talents they used
High keys thing only 
i only copy Whispyr builds
You need a thing that says 90% of what you say applies to high keys
Idk how to even do that
so almost always irrelevant to most players?
Change your name ig
High key only sayer
Or whispyr gives you a special role 
Or what
Zeross only high 
yeah as if I'm going to make a special role for exactly 1 person in the discord
regardless of who that is

definitely not a headache
turn the discord into elitist scum hell by making roles per 100 io
and you have to link to a bot that gives you rank based on io

That statement reeks of felhammer vibes

this actually exists in the mythic plus friends server
I'm aware
They’ll end up un murlok io and copy some pvp build
Same story everytime
i need everybody to know how cool i am based on the video game number
yeah kinda cool until you realize it's an internet forum and you just invented racism cause your color is worse than my color
then its less cool
why are people so allergic to checking guides
@balmy condor do you have a video going over the FI build specifically?
Reading hard
boomy players to the back of the bus
RIO Racism 
no
you play it basically the same
just don't press garrote a bunch 
Its work. The amout of people who dont put in 5 min into a class before asking god and the world about how to play it is to high for my liking.
Whispyr should i play rogue in S3
reroll FDK right now coward
its like
all the info you need is in one place
and people still refuse
people wonder if chatgpt will solve their problems yet mfs refuse to use raidbots
yh its just.. dont vanish/garrote anymore or only do it purely for the KB?
and expect internet randoms to know what gear is better for them
Fdk on my potential list but im not swapping to a meta spec cuz im not fotm scum
idk, there's a bigger subconscious in terms of guides where people have a desire to know "secret" tech
you vanish for scent mainly
FDK probably gets nerfed so it will be funny to see all the FOTM rerollers get BTFO
garrote bad
What is btfo
Blown The Fuck Out
Garrote will mainly be good in dawnbreaker but idk how big of a loss it’ll be to even drop double shiv
Happens with every meta spec
Didnt check yet
the secret part is you still do zdps
@balmy condor did u do tier set sims yet
People do well, spec gets nerfed, its revealed how much their spec carried them
which aug players?
Yes aug was actually the example i was gonna make
it's roughly where the tier sets should be
There are a few of us that play well cuz the spec isnt hard
10%ish in total
All 7 of us left
i assume they all rerolled
Most of them did
They are now the dev dieing 11 times in your key doing sub tank dam
Idk how the cleave build can drop double shiv
Wonder if its even possible
Its probably still not worth it in dawn breaker
But idk
skilled
they need to nerf bm hunter
Ross needs a nerf
Idk if it says bad things but i never invite evoker players in pugs
The fuck did the cats do Ross??
Every time its been a mistake
Okay I got worried for a sec
Ross consumes gatos
thats still 9 too much
All 7 of us are gonna meet you out back
And throw endless amounts of rocks
Maybe even throw sand
And theyve kinda designed themselves in the corner because they cant really buff the tier without either
-A. Overbuffing the 2p by a lot making it way stronger than the 4p
-B. Redesign or add extra text to the 4p
-C. Actually increase the shiv duration, but thats just gonna be insanely weird if the number goes up by much more than it currently is
I think i like ur idea of making shiv longer
Like alot alot
That is not one of the 7
Make it long enough to last throughout kingsbane
They can get their hands chopped off for all i care tbh
100% shiv uptime 
Yeah would be kinda crazy
Imagine you would have entire deathmark AND lingering window covered with shivs 
And still get a full shiv for KB
Like Bloodmess fatalconcoction, just tiny dmg talents move to patch note adjustment and add some useful things 😦
You were typing for so long i expected 10 paragraphs asking questions or something
I feel robbed
Ye well that’ll make the tierset actually fun and not boring
Its just sluggish rn
The worst thing about blizzards tuning imo is the fact they brought back big talent trees and yet all we every see is aura/ability buffs/nerfs, hardly any talent adjusting. like oh cool another 9% of aura, when they gave themselves like 40 other knobs they could use to tune
I agree
It also brings major confusion on builds 24/7, hard to balance etc
it's also like, kinda leaving things stale, when they dont change talents its just gonna be same builds for the whole patch, and that's fine but they could come up with different things imo
There’s some degree of builds changing when they buff abilities (eg mutilate buff leading to VV being taken) but that feels like putting the cart before the horse a bit
it cant just be me right that thinkgs FI build for sin just feels bad?
People say to not play it
even in high keys?
that 99% of people dont do
im not asking when/if/who does it, im saying it just feels bad to even play it regardless?
even in the top 0.00001% of keys
Well yes whenever you lose out on your mark because of something breaking you out of stealth it feels absolutely atrocious
Theres a reason why all the guides recommend to not play it
yeha, thats annoying
they create tuning knob talents, and then never use them and instead its ALWAYS just aura buffs/nerfs
If you get broken out of stealth for any reason or use anything besides ambush to get your mark up from stealth you just do no damage for a while
but it also doesnt even feel like it does that much more ST anyway
just feels bad lol
To do good ST as assa in keys you NEED adds to funnel from
yh is that why rank number 1 rogue is an outlaw lol?
I mean keys are about way more than just ST
which turns it into a L again
Theres probably good players who cant justify
spending 8+ hours
to be 5 points higher on a third party website
that awards nothing
I.mean.. pushing title does award something
If you’re already in title range
pushing title is dif to top 1
Trying to be the best? Why is that bad
U might not like it. But calling it useless and unrewarding is kinda off
Because top rio in 5 player content for your class
doesnt mean you actually are the best individual player
Why do anyone ever do competitive stuff?
Well technicly. Until someone beat u out of that #1 rank. U are the best
In that content
I feel you’re going to see people stress being #1 way more when they’re new to the scene
rather than someone who consistently is up there
wow isnt solo content either
Didnt call it solo. Its a group content we all know this. But i can totally see the hype for someone to try and be on top
i mean, "on top" is allready shady soemtimes
i mean ronaldo is the best in almost everyteam he ever played in at any age.. he still had teammates lol

- 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.
cus the really great guys tend to play the objectively the best options
yh the best will float to the top
but then the ones who are the 'best' and have infinite time
float to the very very top
ye all the one tricks are awful time spent gamers and all the rerollers are true players
so real
but i also know incredibly good players who are so toxic noone will team with them and they just die out
Sounds like being the best is more then gameplay skill alone
yh
gameplay, social etc
put an avg raider into a target dummy, theyll od perfect rotation
not what was said, but ok
99% of FotM guys are dogshit
somebody that plays their Arcane Mage at the highest level because its objectively the best option for their comp is not really comparable with a FotM Andy that plays Arcane Mage because a streamer put it on SS tier in their tierlist and then proceeds to do 2M overall while never Pressing mass barrier
is there anyway/best way to play iron wire with the bleed build?
Drop the second shiv
you lose dmg for utility
how much dmg?
idk, a couple %
Used to be 2-3%
if you regulary struggle with interupts, probs worth it 
Still worth even early in the season
just thought it was funny to see the reaction to zac being #1 to say "he plays more" like the meta group pushers dont play 24/7
I know you didn't say that the other guy did
I mean its also possible the other guys
have rl obligations this week
as much as i'd like to joke the top players are perma unemployed
mate
its zac
i will always clown on my favorite french guy
zac is also just one of the better people that still plays rogue
didnt casual jump ship to dk
the nonverbal incident 
does iron wire do AOE silence.. how many mobs does it hit and how often can you reapply it? can i garrote, garrote, vanish, garrote garrote etc for like 20 seconds of silence on everyone?
yeah i mean its worse if you're a streaming team
because then other people are expecting you to do well
Iron wire silences targets affected by garrote
So with IC you would silence 3 targets per cast
Like it cannot be good for the mental to stream for hours
do a slight slipup
then the armchair 10 experts start spamming emotes in chat
just kick
So in theory you can silence a mob for 12+5=17 seconds per stealth window, so 51s in total if you have 2 vanish charges ready
But that requires you to waste a lot of garrotes
has anyone got a weakaura to show silence portion of it and timer?
Most people simply use plater for this
how do you ragebait in TW
wbhat do u even do
New to assassinate, energy feels weird, I watch other people playing and somehow they can hit high single, not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Was a rogue, told him he was going the wrong build and he was going all ham on me
said i should touch grass
he was mega angry
and he was doing less damage then a healer and he said due to scaling and i told him excuses and he kept being angry lol
do you have logs
Just push your buttons bro, number goes up eventually
is there a simple aura to show bone spike charges? I can't seem to find one that works
why would you care?
i dunno i'm not aware of any reason to track that
They fire automatically if you have them up. No need to track
They also fire from carnage ruptures, so you send all 3 on pull anyway just as bonus info
might be a dumb question but is there a section in wowhead for ptr talent builds?
XD
If I had to do ptr guides I’d genuinely quit I think
Do people not know what "test realm" means
PTR guides is crazy
oh wait i forgot people cant think for themselves
whispyr should make a talent import string but wall it behind patreon
for the funny
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I just abandoned all morals I own and start cranking out ptr/beta tier lists and BiS and all that slop
How many people would actually just blindly take it
It's easy senior chorpity is there and can help you. Everything is slop and everyone are piggies to the trough hmmmm yum yum yum
my question was not rogue oriented, was gonna test out dk in ptr but the dk discord has fuck all so was gonna see if there is anything there thats all
Good guys over there
not likely for us to run imp gar or shrouded suff in raid/m+ then?
brother are you that dense?if i never played dk and the talent tree has changed from what it was from live servers, is it that bad to ask for a source for a fucking talent tree? jesus
omfg
If you didn’t play it before, you probably won’t now
guy's really stressing over "best" talents numerically when trying stuff out
if im a rogue main right? and i go to ptr, i know im gonna play caustic and IC right? so i wont play a st build for my m+
tbt if you wanted to understand the point you would have, nvm XD
They really never should have returned to old talent trees
most players are too stupid to understand it
and just copypaste off murlok
@balmy condor Is it a hot take that i hate IC as a talent
it just brings so many people who should just play something else
to a multidot spec
yes, they just finding out why they got rid of them in the first place
exactly
Big fan of slop
I remember when tierlists were mostly unserious content to judge subjective opinions.
Now they've become easy clickbait material
Not sure when that was
like rating food
unlesss someone was really trying to seriously rank slop food chains objectively
There's some builds in the frost ptr channel pinned!
Just in case you still need em.
yeah found em , thanks
Good morning Fellow Rogues
i have seen serious fast food chains tierlist tho
Another Whispyr video ? BLESSED
is it a big dmg loss if i use a supercharged finisher on rupture?
Cant be since you just ignore supercharger 99% of the time

or 100%
i love it
People that just do that dont need anything more anyways
And the issue would still be the same, just in a different form

Happy Birthday @balmy condor here’s a little cringe song for you😂
Ah shit, it wont let me upload
It’s a well known fact, that if anyone says something they do themself is cringe, they gain protection from cringe from the rest of us
True man😁
forgot how it's called but damage modifiers always apply instantly to everything? e.g. I have a garrot up for 8s and. then shiv, now my garrot goes brrr right?
Correct, Assa has dynamic damage amps no snapshotting
except the improved gar, that needs to be used once, the old one will not be buffed
amps stands for? amplifiers?
Assuming I have no env buff up and I env and I skilled Rapid Injection, does the 10% dmg buff apply to the env that applies the buff or only for future ones?
If you have envenom (the buff) up when you press envenom, youll do 10% more damage with that envenom
Wdym? Going into stealth won't buff your current garrot?
Or you mean something else
yes, you need to use it once from stealth after vanishing/entering stealh. A normal gar does not transform into the buffed version when stealthing
Hi all, when can we expect a BiS list for 11.2?

As a rule of thumb, ignore bis lists, they're pointless
The answer is to just sim yourself
No u
Hi, read whatever @red schooner said
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
This is normally a bad idea but sometimes I make sense
Is there anyone who is well versed with plater? I have a few questions.
Right after the tierlist gets done
What you tryna do
Im trying to blacklist some debuffs and they aren't being blacklsited. Exp would be crippling poison or corrupt the blood.
You gotta figure out the spell ID and then Blacklist them, at least that’s what I would do.
Usually you can find the spell ID on Google/wowhead. I’ll pull mine up rq and can DM you the id gimme sec
kk.
Yes, that's what the tooltip say I think
I never thought it could work another way kekw
I got an addon that add the id on tooltip, I just black list debuffs based on it
Easier than sneaking wowhead imho
Yeah the issue was the ID. Pretty much I just changed it from the ID to the name and that fixed it.
also, thanks for the info.
Or you can black list all and just white list the one you want
Sometimes, name doesn't work properly
Yeah true. I just wanted to clean up the mess that was there and get rid of stuff that I didnt need to track.
At one point it was showing like 3 rows
Or just close your eyes and pretend it's not there. Play like a DH
It would explain why my dhs always die in raid
I mean that was my last resort.
Yea, they are really commited to feeling like a true demon hunter
"I've sacrificed everything, and you?"
They also probably have a displate of illidan in their room alongside a bind that spams
"My destiny is my own!"
like 6 times when they press eye beam
ROFL
Named my dh "Meinai" it means "I cant see"
I just name my chars random things, but i've tried regular names lately
Somehow i got whitney and herbert
lol
Why "again"?
yeah
I wish I could take a day off
I wanna know now
yh i have this but its kind of hard to see lol
@marsh fjord sup bro
@raw marlin sub bro
Yeup
Probably weird that I'm asking in this channel but if I were to explore other rogue specs to have them ready from a gameplay standpoint which would you recommend? I haven't touched outlaw since bfa and have never played sub
wooo mythic testing is here
I was thinking of preparing sub as an option in case its good for one of the raid fights
miss you
I smashed together a shitty edit because i don't wanna post the other whyisper image for the 50th time
miss you more
you change spec then play them?
the same way you learned sin?
ill show you how i do it
- change spec
- be overwhelemed
- change back to sin
- change spec and stop being a pussy
- Learn it
mate
the last 6 tiers where "sub is good" 
I'll describe my question better
tbf my first spec as rogue was outlaw, then sub then sin and sin was always left last as i had no idea wtf to do, learnt it in PVP lol and then got good at it in pve
I only want to pickup sub or outlaw realistically
Not sure which one is more universally useful
i mean, Outlaw was basically never great for raids
cus its dmg profile is just not that good for raiding
sub was the meta rogue spec in raids since SL

assa always tends to be allright
this is actually kind of helpful
for picking
from what i remember and last time i played sub i only ever used it in AAcademy
sin was always dog shit until recently
and outlaw was the go to
i never raided on rogue though
anndd this is like 1-2 year old 'my data'
Probably easier for me to add sub as a playable option anyway due to early crafting limitations
isnt sub the go to raid spec cause of the ST?
outlaw is super fun though imo
not really
I havent raided on rogue in about 6 years lol
its because literally every raid for the first one and a half months has moments where on-demand burst is GIGA important
and sub excells at that
next tier is my first rogue tier since forever ha
Just Sub for raid, assa for M+
Or just play what you want out of the three
Or this
all 3 are super fun
its why rogue is such a fun class
i love bdk for instance but i hate the 2 dps specs so i can never main the class lol
I like having options especially when I don't hate the additional specs in question
same with mage, i aint playing fire
my fav is frost lol
tbh i still think im going BM/SV next season
i mean
its kind of broken
but BM is such a boring spec lol
shadowlands s4 i was BDK and friend was Surv hunter and he loved it as the damage but as soon as the damage drops off he swapped immediately as it was so boring
I mean i enjoy it
Just chill tbh
And the simple rota allows me to just focus on raid mechanics and what not
my 3 main classes in the last 10 years have been.. dh, monk and rogue
Because it's actually fun to do mechanics for me as bm
Because like
Doesn't hurt my dps
I kind of hate that you need a different weapon for surv - thematically and gameplay wise I understand why but it sucks when the bow specs are performing better and you can't really craft a spear without hurting your potential on the other specs
Also rats
Yea, it's annoying
Idk why you need a spear for surv, just hit things with a bow and pretend it's a spear
same for allot of specs though that want to play cross roles
I mean you can use FoTE without a two hander
its why classes like dh are good
to play both
as the stats/items are very similiar
ww and mw are now good together for the most part etc
but brew hates haste lol
Or mage/lock, access to 3 specs with only stats as a variable
Survival hunter should use agi dagger and an axe as it'd be a thematic win
