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.

was just curious why 🙂

OOO this a good one yoink

#

how do the shiv macro works? looks like it doesnt cast my tea

marsh fjord
#

!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

marsh fjord
#

just copy that

random jungle
#

i have that macro

#

but it just uses my shiv

#

shouldn't it cast tea too?

#

or i use the macro wrong lol

#

i see shiv has 2 charges but i only use 1

#

should i use both of them in the same time?

marsh fjord
#

!guide

marsh fjord
#

Go read up the guide bro

random jungle
#

yeah u didnt help me xD

marsh fjord
#

The guide tells you everything

#

if you are asking me if shiv should be used 2 times in a row no thats not how it works.

#

so please read a guide

Need to have some fun to Spice Up working saturday morning

#

But numbers is Kinda right. From pure Reading it seems you dont have all the fundamentals. So Reading a Guide is the right advice to give you

buoyant herald
#

was my understanding correct that araz's ritual forge is still so strong that you'll likely use that and just hold cds for 2min even if playing fatebound with 4set?

#

or was that some crackhead fever dream

distant fog
#

Fate is 90

#

Forge 2

buoyant herald
#

yeah i know

distant fog
#

So its a 3 min cd

buoyant herald
#

i thought i saw some chatter about that being the case even so

rocky zodiac
#

No you actually hold CDs to be 2min as of now

#

Thats my Last Intel from TC at least

buoyant herald
#

ok so it wasn't a crackhead fever dream

distant fog
#

Theres no fking way

buoyant herald
#

it just sounds like one

distant fog
#

Our entire rotation is being dictated by one trinket

#

I might as well go back to outlaw with this fuck fest trinket

rocky zodiac
#

Did you read Forge? Busted Shit trinket giving 40k mainstat

distant fog
#

I stg

#

Yea guess its our “pooling”

#

Make assa 90 seconds make best teinket 2 mins

#

Great game

marsh fjord
#

i hbad fuckign cooldowns coming up man and i bottled it

#

saddddddddddddddddddd

buoyant herald
#

and spymasters was completely opressive in s1

rocky zodiac
#

Maybe they buff Lily Nerf RF

gilded stump
#

Morning - is bleed build still the go to build for mythic+ right now?

buoyant herald
#

yeah if they nerf forge they need to do it now though rather than mid season

distant fog
#

The boomie discord

#

Just coping with a 4m40 second sim

#

5.9m

buoyant herald
#

i don't think lily is a problem

distant fog
#

Imagine they remove forge and all parses just drop by 30%

buoyant herald
#

i like the idea of the unyielding prism too but not having a trinket on pull is icky

#

it's actually kinda just like RF but you get one less use lol

distant fog
#

So how is araz timed

fringe spear
#

you want to know whats funny

distant fog
#

Since its decay math

#

Or does it not matter

buoyant herald
#

just with cd's as per usual

distant fog
#

Hmm

fringe spear
#

Feral bis with power infusion plays a 678 trinket that drops from a rare

distant fog
#

Which is that

buoyant herald
fringe spear
#

Observers soul fetters

buoyant herald
#

just held back by ilvl thank god

fringe spear
#

Yea

red elbow
#

morning - is there any way that can target ds mark in like 100mobs?garf_sit

fringe spear
#

Currently it doesnt share trinket cd

#

So cat just goes with that + forge

#

Large burst

distant fog
#

Its just araz

buoyant herald
distant fog
#

Double onuse trinket

#

Why isnt assa using it

fringe spear
#

Its very funny

distant fog
#

Dont tell me…

#

We havent simmed it ?

fringe spear
#

well its another 2min

buoyant herald
fringe spear
#

probably better than a lot of trinkets though atm

#

Just don't think itd be bis

buoyant herald
#

another cheeky secret is that the pvp trinket is usually pretty nice too

#

but it caps out at low ilvl

#

so few bother putting it in sims

#

but it's an easy quick farm that'll be very good if you get bad m+ luck in week 1 or 2

distant fog
#

Meh ill have enough luck

fringe spear
#

What trinkets does sin even play

distant fog
#

After i no death taz for tier

fringe spear
#

netherprism?

spice surge
distant fog
#

Atenna prism is highest simmers

#

For aoe i believe

fringe spear
#

makes sense

fringe spear
#

But for now its funny

distant fog
#

So we dont say anything

#

Farm it

spice surge
#

Yepyep

distant fog
#

And just parse rank 1

#

And watch everyone slowly realize

spice surge
#

But idk practically everybody wants forge so the trinket situation is kinda cursed this tier

fringe spear
#

everyone wants antenna

spice surge
#

Ye

#

And antenna

distant fog
#

Meh

#

Ima get no loot

#

My luck on par with a decimated dog shit

fringe spear
#

At least some people dont want forge

golden loom
#

Just split LFR, Normal, Heroic and Mythic until you have trinkets garf

fringe spear
#

Idk any spec that doesnt use antenna atm

distant fog
#

4 days till drop

fringe spear
#

But hey at least they nerfed cursed stone idol infinity

#

cant let that trinket exist

flint snow
#

!up

buoyant herald
#

never been more cursed tbh

Hey this is gonna be my first sin season, I wanna get my rogue ready for next week and wondering how to properly sim
I read it up here and apparently aoe sims arent great, so we simply just sim ST also for m+?

buoyant herald
#

you sim dungeonslice for mythic plus

#

aoe sims work but the use case is dubious

jaunty notch
#

or it is not released yet ?

balmy condor
#

my weakauras have not changed, that should be up to date

#

I'm gonna fix some colors and stuff

#

had some colorblindness concerns

#

small visual stuff

#

but the logic is all there

jaunty notch
#

okay thanks!

jolly stirrup
#

Heya, I am new to WoW and this is my first ever season start and its all a bit overwhelming :)

I just read the season start guide and it said to check here what to craft. Should I craft a Dagger or not?

#

Also thanks Whispyr, your Guide on wowhead made it very easy to get into Rogue Assassin poshLove

distant fog
#

Dude my sim so low

#

Not having 4 set sight

#

Oh well im buying a run anyway

rotund oak
#

irrelevant but since ive loaded betterblizardframes with your ui im getting weird errors

#

once i disable one of the two its fine

#

none of the two has issues individually,both of them together its like oil and water

#

😅

#

or maybe its the new drivers

prime quail
#

on which dungeons are we prolly required to play sub ?

rotund oak
#

are u pushing rank 1 keys?

pliant remnant
#

He's gonna trounce the silly lil rank 1 assa who does all his keys as assa for sure

forest mountain
#

Does assa go more for magic comps or physical for m+ - not sure if battle shout etc. does much for assas

spice surge
#

Battle shout is 5% more damage

rotund oak
#

then shaman buff

spice surge
#

Has nothing to do with physical or magical

#

If youre agility or strength, battleshout is 5%

forest mountain
#

ok - how do DH and monk buffs compare?

rotund oak
#

i think there is a spreadsheet for that somewhere

#

but both inferior to shout and shaman buff

warm vortex
#

I’d assume it’s just
More physical damage gets more use out of monk and vice versa for magic

forest mountain
#

i can look for that, but then that sounds like assas may prefer phys comps ovre magic?

rotund oak
#

...

forest mountain
#

is assas played over sub and outlaw for magic comps just because it can benefit more than them

rotund oak
#

bro jsut explained u its not

spice surge
#

Idk assa is good

forest mountain
#

you said battle shout is 5% damage and the best buff for assass which would be a physical comp

#

?

warm vortex
#

I mean I feel like comp stuff is only super important if your pushing really high right

forest mountain
#

yeah for sure but curiosity on the impact

warm vortex
#

Pairing 5 players that play good specs that know their class is just good

rotund oak
#

shout can be froma prot an shaman buff from resto sham

#

u can still play with a mage and lock

warm vortex
#

Or hell just good players in general

rotund oak
#

or sp

#

idk why should it be phys or magic

forest mountain
#

yes but in terms of accumulative buffs

rotund oak
#

that would make more sense if u are a pirate

warm vortex
#

Tbh I prefer wacky comps

If I see people doing high keys with like

Affli, SV, fury, guardian, holy

Like that’s more interesting

forest mountain
#

yeah i primarily play outlaw but my duo is going frost and wanted to run more magic comps so i wanted to see if theres even really much difference

spice surge
#

Warrior most important, then its like shaman > monk >= druid > dh

rotund oak
forest mountain
#

I know obviously player skill and fun is more important yada yada

spice surge
#

But it doesnt really matter much

warm vortex
#

And the entire continents worth of beasts I’m summoning this season

#

hey who posted that arms warrior vs fury warrior gif a couple of days ago

#

where arms was the cat boy

#

and fury was the big dude lifting

#

I need it

#

for something

warm vortex
#

I don’t have that but I have

#

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Arms Warrior gameplay. The rotation is extremely nuanced, and without a PhD in Rage Management and deep knowledge of 18th-century fencing techniques, most players will just slap their keyboard and call it a day.

👊 Mortal Strike isn’t just a button – it’s a way of life. It’s the soul-crushing reminder to healers that they’re irrelevant 💔. Overpower? No, it’s OVERKILL 💀. And don’t even THINK about dodging – you can’t escape destiny.

Arms Warriors don’t need mobility tools. Why? Because we have something better: CHARGE 💪. Imagine playing a class that doesn’t charge into combat like a freight train with Bladestorm 🚂🌪️, turning EVERYTHING in its path into confetti 🎉. CC? Who needs it when your enemies are DEAD.

“Oh, but Arms Warriors are squishy!” – LOL. Die by the Sword? More like Die BY MY Sword ⚔️🔥. Healers sweating trying to save your life? Nah fam, we’re taking it into our own hands. Rallying Cry? It’s not just for others, it’s the war cry of NEVER BACKING DOWN 💯.

If you don’t main Arms, you’ll never understand what it means to walk into a raid and instill fear in the mobs AND your own raid leader 😎. Big Crit Energy is a lifestyle, and Arms Warriors live it every. Single. Day.

Hi guys, fairly new with assa and I have a question to proper learn the spec, for a m+ perspective, should I go with hybrid talents or bleed build will be better coz 11.2 set?

Thanks in advance ❤️

spice surge
#

Bleed

icy tapir
#

Is there a specific reason? Or is it because of what I mentioned about the set bonus? hahah

thorn thorn
#

I swear you are always on

jolly stirrup
obtuse ruin
#

Better damage profile

analog field
#

bleed is better and way easier, also mobs in such low dungeons don't give full value out of DM and KB. But in general it is just more dmg regardless tier set

#

Why was energy regen feeling extremely awful in the one dungeon I did earlier

jolly stirrup
#

Lmao I wanted to ask the same, am I just spamming Mutilate too much? Is my goal to always stay above 150 energy to duplicate the bleed damage?

#

Or how do I manage my energy properly

golden loom
#

dont think about 150 energy

#

!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.

warm vortex
#

My dumb butt was staying above 150 on bleed ST

ocean barn
#

Idk. Combo point generation felt terrible in outlaw so I switch to sin and the last 1/4 of the dungeon I was waiting 5 seconds between abilities

warm vortex
#

Then again I have looked at Assa stuff in a while

warm vortex
golden loom
#

I mean staying at 150 energy is the lowest prio thing in m+ ST for bleed

sweet kite
#

if you rapture enough targets in your opener, you should be okay energywise

golden loom
#

so thinking about it is kinda whatever

sweet kite
#

he was referring to Dungeon

#

so i assume aoe

ocean barn
#

Mix of aoe and st yeah

warm vortex
golden loom
#

like if you dont have a single bleed to refresh and you dont have a darkest night to consume then you can stay at 150+ energy for a bit but in reallity you are just always spinning those plates

warm vortex
#

Oh yea aoe your not rupturing enough

ocean barn
#

First 3/4 of the dungeon I didn't even consider energy ine time

#

One time*

warm vortex
#

What dungeon was this? Floodgate?

ocean barn
#

Priory

golden loom
#

well maybe your poisons ran out

warm vortex
#

You’d get a message when you enven in that case

golden loom
#

if you have energy problems in aoe then something is very very wrong

sweet kite
#

you play Deathstalker correct? @ocean barn

ocean barn
#

Yeah

jolly stirrup
#

Deathstalker still the way to go? Or Fatebound also an option now

ocean barn
#

Up until that last cathedral room/last boss it felt like the easiest spec in the world with huge numbers lol

sweet kite
#

if things die fast enough you shouldn't have issues, maybe later in the priory you faced smaller packs and longer boss fight, thats why you were energy starved

ocean barn
#

Then it fell off a cliff

golden loom
#

for M+ you are always playing deathstalker

#

for raid there will be fatebound fights

warm vortex
warm vortex
jolly stirrup
ocean barn
#

Running out of energy in ST is intended? That's questionable design

warm vortex
#

Tbh assa ST damage output feels so dog water

#

In M+

jolly stirrup
warm vortex
ocean barn
#

Especially since mana is now cosmetic for caster dps

golden loom
warm vortex
#

Look at the raid guide on wowhead

sweet kite
#

When a raptured mob dies it recovers some of the energy, thats why more mobs = more energy, because smaller ones die quick and get you to full

warm vortex
#

Anyway gotta go poolside catch you all later

golden loom
golden loom
#

the main part is the regen

sweet kite
#

yes its the same talent

jolly stirrup
#

Depending on boss ofc

balmy condor
#

fatebound on 4/8

#

is what I'm recommending

#

the pages aren't live yet, they were due last night

#

this basically

jolly stirrup
#

You are the best

balmy condor
#

with a big ????? on dimensius obviously cause no clue what the adds are gonna be like

jolly stirrup
maiden gust
jolly stirrup
#

Fr

balmy condor
#

araz could in theory be a fatebound fight as well

#

especially lower difficulties

#

like if you're slamming normal, fatebound probably cranks

#

if the adds aren't dying, no crank

#

you basically just have to ask yourself "are there a fuck ton of adds all the time during the fight"

#

or

#

"are there a fuck ton of adds during my cds"

#

and if the answer to either of those is "yes"

golden loom
#

if nexus-king platforms arent a big deal you probably slam fatebound there aswell

balmy condor
#

you do not play fatebound

golden loom
#

or how is the 2 target cleave diffy

balmy condor
#

fatebound technically wins in 2 target cleave

#

but it depends how long that is

#

like if the burn phase is a vexie intermission

#

lingering darkness will fuck

golden loom
#

yeah vexie was just deathstalker wet dream

jolly stirrup
#

Back to my earlier question. Do I craft myself a weapon? Or do I go for Raid loot?

balmy condor
#

Both

jolly stirrup
#

Ok

placid sparrow
#

I haven’t even glanced at fatebound once 😬

balmy condor
#

You have to craft a weapon for embellishment at some point anyway

jolly stirrup
#

When is the best time to craft? Next week?

jolly stirrup
maiden gust
balmy condor
golden loom
#

kinda funny we dont even have to kill 2nd boss for a myth track dagger this tier, just do hardmode tazevesh garf

balmy condor
#

Yeah just do it

jolly stirrup
balmy condor
#

And loot it

#

Ez

golden loom
#

exactly

jolly stirrup
#

Ok so craft dagg next week. Got it

placid sparrow
#

I mean you can craft now and just recraft next week

balmy condor
#

Ye

placid sparrow
#

Are you going to be getting guilded crest next week ?

sage spade
#

yeah capped at 90 i think next week

placid sparrow
#

I’m aware

#

I’m asking him personally

sage spade
#

aw

placid sparrow
#

Because he questioned what an embellishment is , which leads me to think certain things

#

And I think it’s the guy that said he’s new to wow

balmy condor
#

Idk I just jumped into the convo

placid sparrow
#

Same

jolly stirrup
#

If so yes that's my goal

balmy condor
#

Gilded are from +8’s

jolly stirrup
#

Yes I will be getting them then

#

That is my goal

bitter crow
#

or from 3 delves a week

placid sparrow
#

I thought it was 7s or did they change it AGAIN

balmy condor
#

Idfk man

#

None of the upgrade systems make any sense to me anymore

#

I just slam crests into stuff

jolly stirrup
bitter crow
#

guildeds are from 7s, correct

balmy condor
#

So hero drops at 6

#

And gilded drops at 7?

jolly stirrup
#

Its all a bit overwhelming kekdog

balmy condor
#

That might be the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen in my life

balmy condor
placid sparrow
# jolly stirrup Correct, started like 3 weeks ago

Yeah I’m not trying to hate so don’t take it that way , what I was getting at is if you’re going for crafted dagger then to do it with guilded only , don’t waste your time or crest crafting it with the tier below guilded to then turn around and recraft with guilded . Just all in straight to guilded

reef ibex
#

Hey Whispyr, have you updated your Plater profile?

balmy condor
#

Blizzard isn’t capable of making gear that’s complicated but heaven forbid their acquisition isn’t the most confusing shit imaginable

balmy condor
#

Will be updated in time for m+

jolly stirrup
bitter crow
#

is wowhead still down?

balmy condor
#

It was down?

bitter crow
#

been trying to get it to work since like, Wednesday

distant fog
#

Slam crests pog

balmy condor
#

That’s on you

jolly stirrup
#

So I wait until next week to aquire gilded crests, and then craft the dagger

balmy condor
#

I’ve been done infinity wowhead work for the last week with no issues

distant fog
#

@jolly stirrup mmmmmmmmmmmm no

bitter crow
placid sparrow
#

You can craft the dagger at 691 right now won’t hurt anything

balmy condor
#

Idk

distant fog
#

Depends actually

#

If youre gonna kill 2 bosses week 1 wait till vault or dagger drop

jolly stirrup

distant fog
#

Mh dagger > all

#

I would wait till your mythic raid vault

jolly stirrup
jolly stirrup
bitter crow
#

recraft it when he has guildeds

#

cause realistically, he won't have the dps to M+ or delve or even HC raid

distant fog
#

Make one now sure

distant plinth
#

@jolly stirrup yoy guys raiding mythic first week? And do you think you would be able to kill 2?

distant fog
#

But becareful using gilded if youre mythic week 1-2

Outlaw is always "simmin like, meta"

balmy condor
#

Good sims = meta yes yes

bitter crow

sec, let me find it

pliant remnant
balmy condor

Very logical and reasonable take

jolly stirrup

Holy i didn't mean to start a war

distant fog
#

have you seen an outlaws damage curve

pliant remnant
#

Too bad raid isn't just

#

Patchwerk

balmy condor

Theyll be meta if every boss is a 5 minute patchwork with 0 downtime

#

For sure

balmy condor

Acid has a dumbass take

this was simms the day patch hit NA

balmy condor

I didn't make the sims 😛

#

I just showed you what some smartass said

distant fog
#

Sims dont matter except for one boss this tier

#

Outlaw is the worst class on first boss

#

Tindral level bad

golden loom
#

comparing sims between specs is very big trap... garf

placid sparrow
#

I hopped off dragon this tier because I refuse to play SC , I only like the play style of FS abd everything was pointing to SC being better and now it’s not 🙃

Does boss immune after sending you to narnia

do you have a spreadsheet Whispyr

pliant remnant
#

from the sims alone we already know two things

#

what you said

#

and that deathstalker sub is shit

distant fog
#

Warlock has 3 dps specs and theyre all good damn

#

Imagine

balmy condor
distant fog
#

Dooming is dumb anyway

#

Sims dont matter realistically for 99.99% of players

#

Most players will never out dps one button rotation

rotund oak
#

thats like the epitomy of pirate psychology

distant fog
#

Play whats fun

balmy condor
#

I spent the entirety of this PTR cycle keeping the 11.2 APL private so people wouldn’t lose their shit over Fatebound and deathstalker sims a week after testing

distant fog
#

Dunno why

balmy condor
#

Dunno why what

distant fog
#

Its just internet jabber

balmy condor
#

It’s not though

distant fog

Boomie dooms perma and gets rewarded nothing bad happens from class dooming

pliant remnant

Everything ever is just jabber

balmy condor
#

It’s not about the doom

pliant remnant
#

Nothing really matters

#

Like that's such a pointlessly reductionist perspective

rotund oak
balmy condor

It’s about people spreading misinfo and making decisions with data that is unusable

rotund oak

distant fog
#

What decision they making

golden loom
distant fog
#

If they themselves would like to play a class

balmy condor
#

Rerolling, raid spots, recruitment

#

Loot council

distant fog
#

Lol . Rogue wont ever have over 1 spot anyway

#

Rare class + useless class

#

And melee

maiden gust
#

people dont have brains

distant fog
#

In the echelons where minmaxxing classes matter they have already mathed it out themselves

balmy condor
#

I’d rather give no info than bad info

balmy condor
#

Everyone is just making educated guesses

#

This cycle has been so dogshit unfinished from start to end

distant fog
#

I dunno

balmy condor
#

It’s legit just not possible to know things

distant fog
#

Rogue players have 3 specs

#

They will play best one during week 2 not week -12

golden loom
#

didnt guilds prep like 4 or 5 warriors last tier and then day before patch execute got nerfed by 15% and then u ended up playing 34 monks

balmy condor
#

Happens constantly yes

distant fog
#

Happened this tier with boomie

golden loom
#

noone predicted you would play that many monks, why couldnt it be rogue

distant fog
#

Wait thats every tier

balmy condor
#

It happens every fucking tier

#

Rn I bet they’re prepping like 5 warlocks and 4 DK’s

distant fog
#

@golden loom thats not something you want

balmy condor
#

And then whoops

#

Dead

#

And the entire meta flips

distant fog
#

Multi stacking classes is the last thing hou want for your raid

#

Because what happens when you have 5 rogues and 1 spot next tier

halcyon flint

Demise dont work in delve?

balmy condor

Aren’t you just making my point for me from earlier

Being a “ bring only one spec maybe “ is an incredible gift ngl

But at same time the reasoning behind it does feel bad

thx dawg

#

20 spot diff

grave warren
#

is assa the best spec this season?

distant fog
#

Probably

golden loom
#

its probably a top 40 spec yeah

distant fog
#

Assa or sub

grave warren
#

it actually deals pretty good damage now

distant fog
#

How many damage amp bosses we got

dense cedar
#

in Midnight they will add one new hero talent tree for each class, that all their specs can run, and it'll be an even worse balancing nightmare than now

distant fog
#

@dense cedar they dont balance hero trees they just remove one aspect of the game for each tree !

#

Or just remove one tree for every aspect

balmy condor
distant fog

Meh 2

jolly stirrup

Ok, I know i didn't cause this, I still feel the need to apologize for my incompetence and I am very grateful for all the help I can get here. So my to do is to craft dagger today. Next question, as this will be definitely a higher GS than any of my current dagger, I put it in Main Hand, correct?

distant fog
#

2 amp bosses 2 cutscene bosses 1 patchwerk

#

Hmm

#

If i had to guess

distant fog
#

Assa will be nice

#

Outlaw probably better on patchwerk boss

jolly stirrup
grave warren

Last boss has excute phase so

#

assa might be the one

jolly stirrup

Got it. Thank you very much poshLove

distant fog

Assa will kill ever boss just run last demise

@balmy condor is Fatebound already better at those 4 bosses without the new tset ?

distant fog
#

And you will have higher loot rolll

distant fog

The last hit always gets the gear

balmy condor

Fb is between 5-7% better rn without tier

can y'all give me sims settings so I can sim my char?

Damn

balmy condor
dusky oasis
#

quick sim is good or should I do something else?

distant fog
#

What are you tryinf to sim for …

balmy condor
#

Quick sim will just give you a breakdown

distant fog
#

Are you switching gear or what

balmy condor
#

Depends what you’re trying to compare

dusky oasis
distant fog
#

Optimal sure go patch

balmy condor
#

Okay well that’s not really what sims are for

dense cedar
distant fog
#

But you wont hit that number in raid

#

Especially pug

#

But you can optimize gear through patchwerk

rotund oak
#

im out

#

too old for this

buoyant herald
#

sims are for comparing things within your own character, not comparing your character to any external thing

#

like another spec or an external benchmark

balmy condor
#

Sims don’t tell you how much damage you should be doing, they tell you the differences between things, like comparing a talent build or gear against an idealized fight

#

But they are inherently simulations, synthetic situations

dusky oasis
#

well I do want to see the diff between sin and sub so

balmy condor
#

Designed to make the environment sterile and repeatable

copper anvil
#

@balmy condor do you think assa is the go to spec? and we just swap around fb and ds, depends on fight?

distant fog
#

@dusky oasis the differences will be based on kill time, uptime, ext

#

Damage amp phase

#

The contextual approach is important in which is optimal not purely sims

balmy condor
distant fog
#

Assa might sim
Higher st

#

But sub burst is insane

dense cedar
#

i need that 4 set already

distant fog
#

@dense cedar buy it

dense cedar
#

i wanna play around with the cd change

distant fog
#

But not in my run

balmy condor
#

Above all, the difference in your skill will matter way more than any sim you run

#

If you’re playing sin at 90% and sub at 80%

#

Just don’t play sub

dense cedar
distant fog
#

Wow wow

dusky oasis
#

I decided this season to swap from sub to assa bcs I hated not getting invited into even +2 keys bcs I'm "trolling"

distant fog
#

He can play sub

#

80-90 is whatever man play whats fun

#

Well

royal lantern
#

its very very very VERY unlikely that you struggle to kill a boss because of the spec/class you play, when 99% of your wipes are based on people fucking up fight mechanics

if u wanna die to random aoe stuff without a button to press and do mechanics in raids hunter,if u wanna be insanely OP to everything mage,If u wanna be a necessity warlock(im not talking about dragon coz ild murder every dragon there is in wow,then spawncamp them until they uninstall)

the only macro I have for sin is the shiv+tea macro

I'm losing my main target while tabing to apply garrotes hahah

or that's what i do

or just, click the main target

IC has smart targeting

rotund oak
# jolly stirrup I see

i think out of the 3 hunter is prolly the safest go,then warlock,if u like a challenge playing the most OP class in the game mage pretty much

Isn't garrote spreading a thing in +3 targets?

rotund oak

if u are spec'd into indiscriminate carnage ye

and with 2 min fatebound

You could also be lacking crit as well.

what does that have to with anything?

cerulean karma

Trinket gives crit?

Passive

golden loom

yeah but thats not the reason its simming higher

its just a better trinket than lily

#

balanced around track

coral whale
#

Hello! i was wondering as assa in M+ u wanna garotte + rupture every mobs in a pack? or just put 5 rupture for the buff and 1 or 2 garotte? ty!

golden loom
#

and lily is also a 90 sec trinket, both sims you have done is on a 2 min class

#

cause fatebound turns into a 90 sec spec when you get 4 piece of new tier

cerulean karma
#

Oh I see

#

I was just surprised I didn't see anything about this trinket

royal lantern
golden loom
#

people have been talking about it but it being from a rare + the ilvl of it makes it kinda weird and also the thing that makes it not share CD with other on-use trinkets will get fixed the instant it becomes wide known

royal lantern
#

and garrote outside of stealth cant be spread much anyway cus it has a CD + does low dmg

coral whale
cerulean karma
golden loom

I mean yeah its a bug

Might aswell use it then since it's there

Hm k, was wondring if 2nd is worth for cycling through DN. And i saw Raidbots doesnt sim Shiv for DN, is this correct and why is he not doing it?

acoustic roost

you only do a "dry" shiv after the deathmark burst when lingering darkness is up

prime quail
#

@rotund oak no i just go for title u hard that assa might be very bad in some keys and that you kinda forced to go sub for those that's why i Askese

#

If it's 100k difference in overall I mean who cares but if it's 10-15% more it's kinda troll not to go sub

#

Sure the spongedafuq why you ask if you don't go rank 1spongedafuq Argument is stupid cause even in 17-19keys it's important not to Slack and do less dmg than you should
