@thorn thorn why are you such a hater anyway

But tldr I dont like spatter as a vehicle for AOE

indigo wasp
#

so is the bleed build the main one for m+?

#

i feel like single target just sucks with kingsbane

thorn thorn
#

Its objectively a strong form of aoe but its also very lame

And I generally dislike all 3 rogue specs just having bladeflurry but different

Oh ya? Our bis is weapon and wrist, wrist we dont craft right away, whats the logic with this?

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.

Im ignorant so lol

#

As in why save

potent turret
#

not like its illegal go for it, i am personally just waiting

#

i dont wanna craft a weapon and then get it in vault

thorn thorn
#

Generally your crafts will be covering slots you want to fill asap or fill in weak slots

#

If you craft weapon now then get good one from vault then you just wasted a spark

half moss
#

Well if I get good weapon, it goes mainhand, and crafted dagger goes off hand

#

I get the covering slots thing

thorn thorn
#

You will be using the cantrip dagger in mainhand

#

And if you get good weapon early then again you have wasted a spark

#

You can use it if you want

#

Nobody is going to stop you

#

But the chance of wasting it isnt zero

potent turret
#

again nobody cares if you craft, just know it could be a waste.

half moss
#

I should mention, my main hand is 681, of hand is 658, so a crafted dagger would be big ilvl in weapon slot

thorn thorn
#

Good thing the offhand slot is a completely useless slot

raw marlin

#

I was just picking yalls brain, I appreciate all the feedbackA

raw marlin
#

basically no content is hard enough

half moss
#

Ty!

raw marlin
#

to justify the gamba

#

so just wait

thorn thorn

Offhand upgrade is significantly less value than mainhand

im just curious cause i feel like my single target falls off a cliff if the boss has no ads

generally is like that if you cant pad

That is sin in a nutshell yea

@slim copper Just dont play druid and we cool.

when will we break old tier 4 set?

my rogue has 658 set pieces and its still far better than 681 in all those slots

raw marlin

#

the guide mentions... ahem ahem ahem...

If you played in Season 2 of TWW, you should aim to replace the Season 2 bonuses as soon as possible, as the Season 3 tier set bonuses are better at equal item level.

good a clean thinker

compared to 681s

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.

# prisma monolith Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of ...

Yeah bro, running out of energy on single-target as Sin Rogue? Totally normal — that’s just how the spec’s built. You’re playing a burst god, not some noodle-spamming builder bot. Your real damage? It’s locked and loaded into Deathmark, Shiv, and those monster Envenoms when you stack up nasty buffs like Lingering Darkness, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and all that juicy nature amp.

But here’s the trade: outside those windows? You're crawling. Energy-starved. That’s intentional. You’re supposed to feel like a Ferrari with no petrol half the time — because when the buffs hit, you go zero to lethal in 1.5 globals.

Now if you’re trying to giga-brain this, there’s one tiny micro-play: 3–4 seconds before Kingsbane, chill a bit. Pool energy till you’re around 50–60%. That’s the sweet spot, especially with Thistle Tea on tap. Otherwise? Dump Envenoms like your life depends on it. You will run out of energy. Embrace it. That’s part of the spec’s identity.

Oh — and don’t waste your brain worrying about Envenom uptime. Twist the Knife lets you stack two, so the uptime thing ain’t even a problem anymore. No Twist? Yeah, you’ll waste uptime no matter what. Accept it, keep blasting, stay deadly.

hardy wadi
#

I came here just to ask if anyoone else noticed their deathstalkers mark not getting consumed after using +5 Combo points? If this is a common issue is there a workk around?

hardy wadi
#

What is the work around? Just keep spamming finisher's till it decides to work?

golden loom
#

For example, you have a DN buff but then ambush a target from stealth, you then need to spend the DN before you can consume stacks of mark

hardy wadi
#

got it so just dont be shit & track DN better got it!

#

Essentially dont always have to open with ambush pack to pack unless DN drops right.

golden loom
#

Well its fine to do that aswell

#

Because just having the mark out gives the benefits, even if you arent consuming stacks on it

#

But its kinda whatever you feel like doing in most situations

balmy condor
#

having the mark up is very good

#

the bug with the mark and DN at the same time is awkward but you lose far more not pressing ambush that you would gain otherwise

hardy wadi
#

mhm interesting thank yall!

balmy condor
#

the two big bonuses from the mark are having the mark on something, and breaking it down to darkest night

#

but the actual "breaking down" part doesn't really do shit

#

we don't care about the bonuses from cycling it all that much

#

we only care about getting the darkest night and getting the mark back up

balmy condor
#

and so if you have darkest night, and you ambush to apply the mark

#

you get the best of both worlds

#

some people recently have been cancelaura'ing darkest nights which is silly

#

cause like in that situation you would just cancel the thing you want, apply the mark

#

break it down as intended

#

and then get darkest night again, which you just canceled

#

except you also don't have the mark anymore

#

so it's just ?????

#

you cancelaura'd your way into less mark uptime

#

gg

subtle kiln
#

who tf is cancelauraing.... they lost from outlaw channel?

golden loom
#

Well cancelaura DN is a sub thing

#

But people where typing about it here yesterday

balmy condor
#

idk we've had like 3 people pissy about cancelauraing their DN in the last 2 days

subtle kiln
#

no, it's not. DS isn't a sub thing. it doesnt exist

#

there's literally only 1 hero tree for sub

balmy condor
#

trying to avoid a bug that is a net gain in aoe

subtle kiln
#

i love the start of a season

coral ibex
#

bet there was a youtuber or streamer who said it was good to do

balmy condor
#

probably

#

someone been cancelaura'ing as a SECRET OP TECH

subtle kiln
#

bet ya it was that Whispyr dude on youtube

balmy condor
#

and then people just blindly following without thinking or knowing where the damage comes from

coral ibex
#

one macro a day to improve your gameplay

#

cancel your DN aura

balmy condor
#

real

#

love that guy

#

his AI prompts are actively boiling the ocean just to give you a cast sequence that breaks on blindside proc or is just worse than one button rotation

#

god bless that man

marsh fjord
#

I just simmed myself.

And fatebound currently sims 7% ahead of me of Deathstalker ST

#

😄

balmy condor
#

sounds about right

humble ginkgo
#

did gameplay change at all with fatebound

balmy condor
#

no

subtle kiln
#

watch the 40 min video then ask

balmy condor
#

it's the same as playing without a hero talent tbh

balmy condor
#

you can basically stumble into a correct fatebound rotation on pure accident

marsh fjord
#

whats the macro command again

#

!macro

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

subtle kiln
marsh fjord
#

HAHAHAHAHAH

#

i just woke up

#

sorry

#

holy fatebound is huge

#

when you open

#

Just did a really good opener went up to 7 mill

balmy condor
#

yah it's kinda always been like that

#

deathstalker burst has been kinda weak

#

cause you're just relying on darkest night

marsh fjord
#

And its really imo

balmy condor
#

and you have that all the time

marsh fjord
#

fun*

balmy condor
#

fatebound is giga burst cause you're giga flipping

marsh fjord
#

its nice not having to deal with marks and shit

#

Btw, if you shiv before deatmark don't you miss the overlap if you shiv again at 8 seconds of KB?

balmy condor
#

wdym

marsh fjord
#

Shiv + 8 seconds. then DM - kingsbane - shiv at 8 seconds right? i was wondering because we press shiv before deathmark there is a small gap between your first shiv and second shiv. because you using it before DM or does it still line up fine?

coral ibex
#

doesnt the tier set extend shiv's effect

#

so its more than 8s

marsh fjord
#

thats DS no?

coral ibex
balmy condor
#

there's a gap

#

but the gap is when it doesn't matter for shit

#

like you get the 2pc for fatebound right

#

kingsbane is 18 seconds, and flips coins

#

so where is your damage coming from

#

it's coming from the initial double flips

coral ibex
#

oh true the shiv duration is ds only mb

balmy condor
#

and then when kingsbane is ramped, kingsbane is doing some damage

marsh fjord
#

Yeah so the gap doesnt matter it just matters that you shiv the last 8 seconds

#

because of the amp

balmy condor
#

so you shiv before dm, which gets the double edge case flips, the kingsbane instant hit

#

and then the gap falls into whatever couple ticks of shitass kb who cares

marsh fjord
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

and then you shiv again and get full giga kb

#

well "giga" kb

#

however giga kb can be these days

marsh fjord
#

in this build with how KB was in the past would actually be bonkers btw

balmy condor
#

yah, that's not allowed :P

dense cedar
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
balmy condor
#

on fatebound with full 4pc kingsbane is like 10% of your damage

#

which is honestly pretty close to where it was with amirdrassil

#

especially if you consider that it's also flipping a bunch of coins

#

tier is very good

marsh fjord
#

Also if you make the mistake of not shivving before DM because we are not really used to it. is that big bad?

balmy condor
#

nah

marsh fjord
#

or does not really matter a lot

balmy condor
#

it's a pretty minor min-max

#

like 0.5% or some shit

FOTM Info

  • Fatebound is not playable in any AoE situation, and ESPECIALLY not in Mythic+. Don't bother.

  • Tuning is nowhere near done and realistically won't be until mid-September; unless you enjoy playing rogue there is no point in you rerolling at this time, we don't bring anything impactful (e.g big aoe stops/party buff) to the group

  • PTR sheets and PTR sims are borderline misinformation with how rapidly things are changing and most sims are not currently updated at this time. Again, this will fix itself as we get deeper into the patch and things solidify, but judging a reroll off of PTR tier lists and random sims or seeing one guy pump super hard on a stream is not indicative of anything.

maybe a dumb question.. just came back 2 days ago after quitting end of Shadowlands. Up to 680 ilvl now so no s2 tier. Is it better to run sin single target or sub in raid these first two weeks next tuesday?

marsh fjord
#

they are both close to each other.

candid badger
#

no offene at all, just asking incase there was a stand out between the two as tuned higher or easier to pilot

marsh fjord
#

In my opinion assa is easier.

#

less things to worry about but if you ask @haughty flicker maybe he can give you better insight into sub

#

Im not familier with sub at all.

Assa is more straightforward

Yeah i feel like sub you gotta think when to use your cooldowns imo

Then it’s insanely gayforward

True actually

I find it to be more duckbackwards

Any reason not to craft an ascendance dagger now other than recraft cost with crests later?

Oh does the base level cost crests? I forget

#

never craft base stuff

#

just the 591 for a small mh upgrade

balmy condor
#

Oh you’re THAT down bad

#

Then yeah fuck it

#

Could use weathered/carved crests as well

stark matrix
# marsh fjord haha why

tanks pulling 3-4 mobs at a time and no one pressing their buttons and yes both the other dps are over 680

balmy condor
#

But realistically you should just get a dagger off some fuck ass world elite or something

#

591 is like season 1 dagger

go do nightfall

balmy condor
#

I can’t imagine that you can’t find some random blue drop from a world quest or something

haughty flicker
#

get a better one please

balmy condor

Yeah nightfall exists

The Story also has daggers on like 650 or something

Everything is better than 591

from last season its still 7 ilvls higher

I would just farm m+ or whatever next week

But I don’t see a particular problem with crafting it either

isn't it best to not use your spark this week

?

balmy condor

And hold for what

#

You already know you’re crafting dagger first

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.
balmy condor
#

You’re describing this

#

And yes

grim jay
#

I always thought Count Whispula sleeps in a coffin during daytime

balmy condor
#

The bleed build has always taken arterial

grim jay
#

Whispula sounds kinda catchy ngl

balmy condor
#

Bleed is comparatively also stronger this season

wild pine
#

ive never played it that way, wouldnt that really fuck over our ST in aoe? its already pretty bad but doesnt this make it even worse

balmy condor
#

Cause of buffs

balmy condor
wild pine
#

i guess for boss damage just rely on your teammates?

balmy condor
#

Yeah

wild pine
#

fair i guess

balmy condor
#

But unless you’re like top 100 io score

#

You’re not doing keys where that little bit of boss damage will do shit

grim jay
wild pine
#

makes sense

balmy condor
#

Bleed build last season timed every dungeon on a 20 and was played almost exclusively by 1-2 guys in the top 10-15

wild pine
balmy condor
#

And it’s even stronger in season 3

wild pine
#

Okay but consider that if I wasn’t born in California I would’ve been born in Germany, and if I would’ve been born in Germany there wouldn’t be any latinas and a life without Latinas isn’t worth living so really just fucking kill me either way

grim jay
#

Unless you have a bad heart, which I sincerely dont hope. We wanna keep you around. garf

grim jay
#

Many fake Latinas aswell tho

grim jay
#

Because you need to learn everything in a shorter timeframe than the people that kept playing

keen spruce
#

maple story old game

#

too

balmy condor
#

So who’s really winning here

grim jay
#

You win

balmy condor
#

Maplestory isn’t that bad to learn tbh

#

They turbo boost you to the current “expansion” or whatever and from there it’s just a ton of dailies to burn out on

#

Like it’s still an mmo so you gotta learn stuff obviously but the pacing is way slower

grim jay
#

I mean it also comes down to the mindset tbf, some people just dont have any issues with learning a ton of stuff from scratch

balmy condor
#

And the account-wide power progression almost forces you to go slow

#

Idk how far @haughty flicker got in his legion prog but it kinda gives you a bit of a sneak peak on each of the classes core mechanics

#

So you kinda just learn the game passively by trying out whatever looks interesting

#

It’s quite nice

haughty flicker
#

legion is a really good system yeah

#

gets you to try out everything and you dont ever feel bad if you end up not liking it

#

because it all counted towards your account progress

balmy condor
#

The one thing Maplestory does really well

#

Is it never makes you feel like you logged in and wasted your time

marsh fjord
#

In the bleed build do we ever dry shiv on bosses in m+ ?

balmy condor
#

I’ve seen a bunch of people burn out cause there’s too much grind or too many characters to do too many dailies on, but I’ve not once seen someone quit Maplestory because they felt there was nothing to do or they weren’t getting somewhere

balmy condor
#

Especially with tier

marsh fjord
#

cool

limber dew

how do we use lily within the bleed build, do we hold for mark on use on CD?

# worldly dock wich Back gem should we use ?

probably mastery (Energized), but as mo pointed out, you can sim it.
You can also buy the vendor versions for 100g after the quest so its easy to switch, only more expensive once you do a crafting order for the stronger versions

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

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.

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 +20's or higher, you should play bleed
  3. Even if you're doing higher, you should probably play bleed
  4. No, Fatebound is not good, you play Deathstalker in every key.

Some general concepts as to why people play different things:

  • 11.2/Season 3: Bleed has gotten stronger through some buffs and the single target damage you get from singular focus is ridiculously good with the tier set. During PTR testing many high end rogues were just playing bleed everywhere.
  • 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 build is mainly for boss damage (note: not prio, there is no significant difference in prio). Assa single target in keys is pretty bad, and some bosses during season 2 were not possible on high keys otherwise. It remains to be seen what push keys in Season 3 will bring in that regard.
  • Specific Dungeons: Rookery as an example is very boss-heavy, especially the last boss, making bleed less ideal. Rookery is not in the rotation in Season 3, and there are a lot of AoE dungeons. Dawnbreaker might be a candidate, but unsure currently.
  • 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 outside of low target cleave and higher target AoE. Cleave is for single target damage and insanely large aoe because of how much caustic and crimson tempest carry aoe damage. At the end of the day, the builds are extremely similar, but Bleed is looking to simply be the best.
