charred obsidian
#

but thats me

#

at the very least ill probably have an easy time getting into a guild as no one wants to play rogue lol

grim jay
#

Same, but it has been that way for quite some time

charred obsidian
#

to play in the raid

charred obsidian
#

since the mini rework

#

before the mini rework assa was awful in m+

#

i dont remember clearly but we had to spread 1 dot at a time i think

#

at least garrote could be spammed but one at a time

#

maybe i dont remember correctly

#

please correct me if im wrong

topaz cedar
#

distant fog
#

Assa just stole flurry

#

So did sub

charred obsidian
#

well i wouldnt say assa did

#

but sub surely did with trickster

pliant remnant
#

I did the skip on two alts and I didn't get a quest either

#

It just auto-completes the current main story for you

distant fog
#

Is bleed or hybrid simming higher rn

pliant remnant
#

and you fly to the little tiny island to Hashim or whatever tf and get your cloak from him

charred obsidian
#

id wager bleed being stronger in lower keys as per usual

#

and the absolute highest maybe hybrid but

grim jay
charred obsidian
#

i have nothing to go after so dont take my word for it

grim jay
#

Bleed seems to be superior

charred obsidian
#

it sure does

#

but who knows

#

im not a simmer

#

exept for my own gear ofc

distant fog
#

What massive cooldowns does bleed use

grim jay
#

The same as hybrid

charred obsidian
#

literally only deathmark i think

plush umbra
#

bleed has always simmed the highest out of the options for dungeonslice

charred obsidian
#

we dont have kingsbane so

grim jay
#

Kb isnt a massive cd

charred obsidian
#

plus the sudden demise is insane

charred obsidian
plush umbra
#

the only reason the hybrid build became a thing was to trade some overall for more single target

charred obsidian
#

i assumed it was

grim jay
#

Kb is 1 min and has noodle dmg as a standalone skill

charred obsidian
#

what counts as a massive cd then

#

only deathmark*?

grim jay
#

DM is the only big CD ye

charred obsidian
#

man i miss when KB could be your top damage in raids

#

it was so much fun

#

nasty ability then

#

it felt so good

grim jay
#

I liked KB aswell, shouldve been a core part of the spec and not a talent in the first place imo

charred obsidian
#

i dont understand why they did it dirty

grim jay
#

1 bleed CD 1 poison CD

#

Easy

charred obsidian
#

"we dont like that it does so much damage"

spice surge
#

Shiv is a cd too

#

Fatebound kb does big damage now

golden loom
#

Envenom is also a major CD even if it has no CD garf

#

Is this copium for M+?
I mean you can't say now it will be the best specc basically, but from the output it has for M+ scenarios, could it be real? šŸ˜„

distant fog
#

Shiv dm

#

@languid gate assa raw numbers are literally just that good

#

They are the a funnel spec too

#

So even more insane

#

Im expecting a nerf to assa soon cause they usually dangle rogues up high and then drop em on a spike

#

Feral druid diff

#

do we take mastery thread thing for cloak

grim jay
#

They are busy with raid tuning

so how many times do you envenom before you go into vanish on your opener on fatebound?

grim jay

#

ass or swamp-ass?

brave comet
#

do i finish coldblood then vanish?

does anyone know how to phase diving entered for weekly big world quest, pylon seems bugged for me i cant click it

what about on the 3rd minute mark uwucutegirl-ingame?

grim jay
#

Outlaw overperforming and getting nerfed

brave comet
#

also the same?

grim jay
#

Heard it here first

distant fog
#

Always happens

#

Outlaw players are literal coke fiends who snort rng like their life depends on it

grim jay
#

Happens so often that I cant think of the last time

distant fog
#

Every season sadge

grim jay
distant fog
#

Real though it happened df s3

rotund oak
#

and this is the madness that drives me away from the pirate channel^^

distant fog
#

Outlaw should uncap bladeflurry

golden loom
#

Previously when you ran MA on fatebound you would usually vanish before the 2nd envenom

distant fog
#

And the class would be completely

#

Finished

rotund oak
golden loom
#

But now if you run VV theres no reason to hold it for a few extra seconds so just slam it right after KB

brave comet
#

thank you uwucutegirl, i always know i could ask questions if you're here

rotund oak
golden loom
#

No worries but also I am not wrong but if I am then also not my fault

brave comet
#

its okay i can blame it on whispyr for not spoonfeeding us in his video

rotund oak
#

already did though on his guide(most likely)

brave comet
#

i love whispyr!

I've never played it

You dont vanish for MA

#

You vanish for fatebound

There is a lot of evidence for prefered treatments of certain classes/specs. I did just repeat what was told in this discord well... quite a while ago

midnight mist
#

But you always get a spot in raid

vestal wren
#

Rogue in general feels like its a bit neglected

#

w/e of balance between specs (which is also not great)

Now granted Yoh could say it's cause lust is a limited raid buff

Ah you mean mage itself as a favorite, alright. Thought you meant mage as a class with a favored spec

midnight mist

I meant the class itself

#

Is clearly favored

#

Both in term of dev time and tuning

What do you do when rupture and garrote finish on a pack, do i go 1 by 1 aplying those again or only to my main target and prio the aoe by caustic?

sage wagon
#

Not plater but the unitframe specifically.

normal mist
#

You need to have ruptures applied

#

And garrote on your main target

normal mist
sage wagon
#

No worries, thx šŸ˜„

clear shell
#

So I always need to reapply rupture to all and garrote only to main tg for caustic?

#

I guess if enemy has to day in less than 10s doesnt need to

normal mist
#

Ruptures give you energy and agility

#

Which also gives you more funnel DMG to your main target

frank trench
#

🩸 build question for m+. Do I hold shiv until the mobs are lower for zoldyaks?

#

Or however it’s spelled šŸ™‚

#

But for the execute

red schooner
#

You shiv to unethically maximise demise damage

frank trench
#

That’s kinda my question

red schooner
#

Save shiv for zoldyck is generally the play. That's what I tell people when they accuse me of playing solely for the big demise.

#

I also desthmark low HP bosses for this purpose so... Maybe don't follow my advice.

frank trench
#

I used to send right after applying everything but now waiting till pack is like 40% health significantly has upped my dmg

#

But also feels like I lose some of it due to demise lol

grim jay
#

How would demise make you lose damage

#

If it actually makes you not lose all of it in the first place

anyone has tips for switching targets for bleeds, i'm getting dizzy tabbing to rputure & garrote and then finding my deathmark prio target back im losing time

red schooner
prisma monolithBOT
#

Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required

  • The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
  • You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets

Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.

It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.

sand aurora
#

What plater profile do you guys use?

grim jay
prisma monolithBOT
warm flint
rough nimbus
#

got it so basically i should stop getting dizzy for a little bit more damage and just bleed my main target

#

so it spreads

frank trench
grim jay
#

Yep @rough nimbus

grim jay
#

You still boost demise

#

The closer towards the end of shiv they die the better tho, but you can at some point judge if they die faster and just shiv before execute

gritty laurel
#

proccing demise faster means the ret pally gets 1 less gcd so you can assert dominance

royal hazel
#

is stat prior still agi mast/crit

#

for DS sin

grim jay
prisma monolithBOT
#

There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.

  • Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
  • Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
  • Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results

Is there a weakaura that helps with rotation? Something like maxdps or hekili?

Luckily not

no, it's a pretty simple rotation to begin with and those addons still don't get it right

With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:

/cast Shiv 
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null

Use this to cast cold blood with Kingsbane, which is optimal for Fatebound. The order does not matter, as Cold Blood is only consumed on Envenoms.

golden loom
prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

since you arent autoattacking your focus target

whenever i cast ambush it retargets the focus šŸ¤”

spread your bleeds from that target instead

rotund oak

its fine

you dont need to swap target

my whole thinking was that you want to funnel all damage through the spatter target so this forces that

dont have to think about who is spattered if you set it at the beginning of the fight

Hey guys
Wich is the best Spec for this season so far? Deathstalker or Fate?

prisma monolithBOT
#

Only changes for fatebound are macroing cold blood to kingsbane and vanishing during the cold blood buff during deathmark in order to double flip coins. Otherwise regular rotation, finishers on 5+

Min-maxes currently only include using shiv before deathmark with the Fatebound 2 piece equipped in order to buff the coins. The 4 piece is worth using, and you will want an 1:30 trinket (lily or prism) to buff your deathmark windows accordingly.

stone charm
#

fatebound in full single target, deathstalker cleave/aoe, for now stay deathstalker:D

worldly dock
#

sounds good
didnt play Fatebound at all and i was a bit concerned about it

royal needle
#

Fatebound is easier to pickup but lags in the damage dept

Are we meant to be using this arterial precision bleed build for m+ yet or is it for season 3 tier only? Seem to be doing bonkers dmg with it on 5 dummies with s2 4 set

At face value, "deez" seems absurd—a punchline without a setup, a fragment of internet humor. Yet its very emptiness invites reflection. Like a Zen koan, it subverts expectation, forcing us to confront the limits of language and meaning. To ask ā€œWhat is deez?ā€ is to stumble into irony, confusion, or shared laughter—each response revealing our desire to make sense of the senseless.

Culturally, "deez" functions as both joke and signal: a marker of in-group awareness and a commentary on how meaning is shaped by context. It reminds us that even the most trivial expressions carry the weight of social participation, and that sometimes, absurdity is the clearest expression of our time.

I honestly dont even believe bleed to be the defacto best (for top end). I feel like once keys get to a point where packs live longer than your initial stealth empowered bleeds you're becoming significantly worse. Cant vanish on every pack after all. Maybe it doesnt matter and the damage youve dealt is enough but i can never trust bleed being actually good at the top end.

Anyone else having an issue with cancel aura'ing Darkest Night? I normally use it between packs in M+ so that Mark applies correctly but it seems that macros aren't working to cancel it anymore?

With this you will not accidently use more than 1 charge of tea if youre spamming:

/cast Shiv 
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null

Use this to cast cold blood with Kingsbane, which is optimal for Fatebound. The order does not matter, as Cold Blood is only consumed on Envenoms.

#showtooltip Kingsbane
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Kingsbane

Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket

hallow glade

#

Thanks loop, but doesnt answer the question

raw marlin
#

that was for me

#

i didnt even read your question lol

#

what is the macro to cancel stupid fucking spark thing when you go stealth?

coral ibex
#

dont do that

#

someone was talking about this yesterday i think

coral ibex
#

theres no reason to cancel your DN buff

#

just build to 7 cp by spreading improved garrotes or ambush off the rip

rigid sierra
#

I mean, otherwise even though you apply it with the ambush it doesnt consume anything until you 7cp envenom so its just wasting damage no?

#

Surely it was better to cancel it then its working as intended

coral ibex
#

you still get the DN consumption effects

#

so im not sure what you mean

rigid sierra
#

Do you? Even though the stack count doesnt go down?

coral ibex
#

you still get the benefits from consuming the DN buff

#

which is not the same

#

as consuming a mark

#

check your talents

bronze marsh
#

sub wants to cancel DN in aoe so that's not great

The thing is that you can have it both ways. The actual cycling of the mark does nothing in aoe, especially if you don’t have caustic up to cleave the tiny amount of damage that the mark’s doing. The whole thing with the mark in aoe is having the mark up for singular focus, and then eventually getting your darkest night envenoms. In the situation that you cancelaura, you’re just canceling the thing you’re trying to build towards in the first place, when you could’ve just had that to begin with an consumed it when you were ready

astral current

papa whispyr is typinPogO

nova aspen
#

^whispyr

#

9 am hes totally in bed still

balmy condor
#

You’re probably actually losing damage that way because if you cancelaura and then break the mark down and get darkest night, you lose the mark’s effect obviously

quaint spindle
#

Lnaoooo

balmy condor
#

Where as if you just apply it without doing gymnastics with some whack ass macro

#

You would maintain the mark and have darkest night

#

So in that regard you’re actively hurting your mark uptime

#

Which is where the damage is

coral ibex

also i did answer it first, i said you consume DN which provides benefits

#

his reply to me indicated that he thought his first spender being envenom was an issue, which it really isn't

#

also im just some guy, he has no reason to implicitly trust anything i say

hard river
#

meh, i think "you cannot cancel it" is better than "why are you doing that read your talents"

#

sometimes it makes people feel put on the spot and they feel bad for asking

#

ofc, that didn't happen here in the end, so it's fine

#

i guess i saw that the question has a literal answer that you cannot cancel it anymore so the shebang about doing it or not was superfluous

coral ibex
#

sure, but if it becomes cancelable in the future, now they know why they shouldn't instead of just "an authority told me"

It’s realistically only for boss damage, prio damage is equal or worse as you go more poison focused

#

Bleed single target isn’t great, which is what the cleave build is for

loud light
#

if you're not sure which talents to pick it 99.9% means you should go bleed build for m+, it's more forgiving and better overall

balmy condor
#

Hybrid tries to balance them out a bit

#

Yeh

buoyant gull
#

but just for general m+, going to keystone master etc.

balmy condor
#

Definitely bleed

#

Bleed was timing 20’s last season

#

It’s not an issue at all

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.

!design

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

Just press buttons

press buttons, every 4th finisher is max CP, thats it lol

You still need to think about your mark some times

FB is press buttons, do a slightly different opener

In single target you never have to think about your mark so it's equally as easy, and in aoe deathstalker is much better so you gain a lot for the extra worry of dealing with marks there.
