guys is it worth it to vanish (MA) for sudden demise?
u vanish to get MA for sudden demise proc
why would you do that instead of vanishing to do something useful
like spread bleeds for 12 seconds
sudden demise also might just ignore crit chance completely when calculating
i don’t remember
did dungeon slice is good choice to sim for m+ as assa?
yeah
only ever need to sim dslice and 1t patchwerk rly
ok ty

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.

quick trinket question
is the list on the guide ony applicable to when you have 4pc
4pc worth it even at champion track gear y'all think or classic sim it?
the signet is outsimming S level trinkets
4 set is good with champion track
2 and 4pc are better than old setbonuses even when you had myth track maxed old and veteran new
haven't been able to get sims to reflect that, but I believe it. Trying to farm 1 more hero track to avoid it but might be a need
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/fr9Vzk1CRN4uS4tDVNTb5i like obviously its bad cause patchwerk on m+ spec but would assume 4pc still should be simming better
yeaaaaa
looks like you are simming 3 set
not 4
tho

it's not simming the combination for 4set
!up
because it doesnt count with 2 available cata charges
guys its legit impossible to do a key :c im 5hour in q for making my own +2key cant find tank
is that right? or buged?
i had 46% crit rate at my fok
you seem to be CTing late
ahhhh
if u CT late it ends up being below spatter by a decent amount
no
yes
with 46% crit chances in FoK
that was it, thank you
did u check the prints or just the breakdown?
!up
Is it worth to send gilded crests into a dagger this week?
just select the good talent, which isnt momentum
crafted dagger is good yes
then you dont have that issue
damn 23 stacker
is this bugged or something?
no, idk what you did
but its worse anyways
so just dont play it
ok
k i know u are right about, my point was the talent bugged hahaa
ty for tips friend
thats was crazy
would anyone be able to tell me why a b level trinket is outsimming two s level?
or is the trinket tier list for ST only?
The whole point of sims is to get an answer accurate for your gear. No list knows what you are wearing
fair enough
With the new 2p, are we not fishing as much for rolls anymore?
wdym fishing for rolls
Outlaw is the other channel
what where you fishing lol
!gear
Anyone get to try out this delve trinket apparently its like 22 uptime 14k mastery
Allegedly*
How good is the delve D.I.S.C belt until it can be replaced by bis? Is there a % sim from it?
its a sim angle but probably like 710 ilvl belt or smthin
do you use tempest at all single target in m+ talent build?
yeah if we are talking about bleed
in many guides, they say about 8 ilvl ahead the belt
So until myth track its almost the better option?
yeah I mean if you have a 4/6 hero track belt or whatver u can try to sim and see if its an upgrade
all depends on ur own character
I see, thanks alot!
I got heroic prism last night, but dont want to use catalyst charges just yet for 4p so am curently running 2p; I understand that I want to macro it to vanish and use essentially on pull (inconsenquential) and hold until 3min if you use 4p for 2nd deathmark. If I'm still running 2p/2p though, is it worth sending on both vanishes at 2min and 4min?
how good is this thing
anyone know how taz m+ loot table works? Is it just the whole table for both dungs? I'm seeing amplifier drop from gambit
!loot
this is wrong
Anyone have a good WA to track bleeds?
nvm i misread it
Hi, is there a German assa player here who could help me? Feel free to PM me.
There is a great add on I use called Astral Fried Chicken you may wanna try

Hey all, newer to playing rogue. I have decent gear and doing decent damage but want to be doing a lot more. Is there a recommended video or anything you guys could point me towards to help increase my dps?
is there a reason ritual forge is listed as bis over prism on the guides?
Oh yeah but it’s a watch

in whispyr youtube channel theres a 3 hours video
that tells u ALL ABOUT IT
If you want to know it, it’s there
this one
Awesome. I have also been pointed to Shindig as well. Saw he is a beast
Outside of season specific - like trinkets and shit
all hail saint whispyr
You think blizz will fix this eventually? Feel like energy and my DPS is falling on its face cause no resets. DPS picks back up after but still
I played fatebound with caustic on heroic araz last night and it was more than fine; I didnt feel like juggling DM falling off 😛
This was what I was thinking about doing since caustic goes freaking crazy on this fight
Hello everyone. anyone with experience using cursed stone idol trinket? when would the best moment to pop it be?
Are yall using Iron Wire on M+? I dropped 1 point of Lethal Dose and put it in Iron Wire for utility, seeing a lot of casters in the runs
Depends who I am running with and how many stops we have, usually yea
Probs not
Is the Prism Trinket in M+ bis, too?
Prism seems awkward to use in m+ as you're still playing deathstalker and you're on 2min cycles. Probably lily(hold)/araz angle to line up with DM?
Why it would be awkward?
Cuz of the 2 mins?
get a 2min trinket for m+ then 
I try to understand his statement
tell me you dont know what the trinket does without telling me
if anything its better for m+
You want to use it every 18 stacks from my understanding. So 180 seconds.
like
remember spymasters?
that trinket was not BAD for m+ lol
its was absolutely cracked for it
I've just been popping it every death mark lmao
Yeah so like when we death mark
yeha, thats kinda how it will be used
Is there tech to hold it on the first death mark?
by the time DM is back, its stacked high and you wanna use it 
and then use it on the 2min one
Why would you?
spymasters has people thinking you need to stack it to max
There no benefit holding on the first
But netherprism is not a spymasters clone
the only "tech" is macro it to vanish instead of DM if you play fatebound
same mechanic, but not nearly as dumb strong
spymasters was "hold for 4 workdays, then use it and evaporate a boss in 8seconds" 
Spymasters had ramping main stat whereas netherprism is flat dmg proc
or you die once and the key was bricked
For fatebound specifically lining it up with your 2 minutes is a bit better than using it as a 90s
But obviously you can do either
Die from aggro when you pop ur 40 stacks
Yeah, I've been holding for 2 min and notice it's better also.
Absolute cinema
!loot
you can but lethal dose is absolutely not what you want to drop. get rid of lightweight shiv or maybe master assassin instead
you mean macro with vanish there
or talking about 2min without tierset
me confused
I think he means both
4 piece heroic set acquired 
GGz
thats what the pins say to do
can i make so rupture and rupture change plater color for easier spread
check pins
hello guys pretty new with rogues i have 2 quick question, first one is when ever i'm opening on a large pull like 7/8 mobs i know indiscriminate carnage makes my garrot and rupture cleave on 2 target, if i want to get my dots on all target do i need to switch target everytime i use garrot/rupture or i can target the same mob.
And second i've noticed that i have en hard time with my energy in long fight struggling to even use mutilate at some point is that "normal" ? thank you for your responses
!carnage
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.
Oh they got updated sweet
!design
Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. As a burst spec our damage is mainly loaded into Deathmark/Shiv and massive Envenoms through stacking multiple nature damage buffs such as Lingering Darkness, Shiv, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and more. This comes with the natural downside of our damage suffering outside of these windows, in part due to the designed lack of energy slowing us down.
Because of this, there is only one minor (0.3%) min-max with energy, which is pooling 3-4 seconds into an upcoming Kingsbane. Ideally this would put you at around 50-60% energy before you enter your Kingsbane, which is more than enough energy alongside thistle tea. Outside of that, spam Envenom and just accept that you will run out of energy. There is nothing you can do to not run out of energy. Playing around Envenom uptime also is not relevant anymore, as Twist the knife allows for two stacks at a time, which reduces wasted uptime dramatically. Without twist the knife, wasting uptime is unavoidable.

appreciate it, thank you
hey everyone. just a quick one about sanguine blades. Obviously its a non issue on packs, but should i be THAT concerned over staying above 50% energy on ST?
no
it is a very small min max if you do it correctly you gain 0.2
if you do it incorrectly you lose much more
the idea is to keep some energy so you can refresh builds and not let them fall off
yeah, i think ST is definitely the part of this spec that is off putting somewhat, but i figure thats me not being entirely confident with the class yet
at least its more fun than BM is currently. God damn they have gutted that spec even more
How is assinations st and aoe vs outlaws?
do i need to use ambush from stealth if i have darkest night on me, or should i start with garrotes*
No
Start with garrote/ruptures
thank you
I’m also assuming you are talking about m+
yeah
Np!
maybe its dumb question, but also how you track your garrotes on other mobs, its kinda hard to tell by plater icon in big pack, and i need to maintain garrotes/ruptures until pack dies i guess
Just go off your main target’s imp gar which most WA packs for sin will track, once it’s in pandemic you can vanish and spread bleeds again
Im using atrocity, dont know how good his WA for rogues
@wet vortex it helps a lot if you blacklist everything but your garrote/rupture/CT in plater
macro with KB always
Maybe its a good idea
!gear
What are you guys doing on H forgemaster araz? Focus boss, swap to big echo add and cleave off it to hit small adds. Do your best to juggle mark around pylons but save a vanish for dmg amp if you drop it?
im a dumb idiot can i just apply ruptures/garrotes from my mt instead of mousing over or tabbing through targets to do it or is that really bad
like pressing garrote and rupture on my mt twice

I did almost title range keys by just spreading off main target

Mouse over macros and a good plater profile help too

yeah i need to configure my plater to only show rupture and garrote i think

Guys can someone helpme out, people are mentioning fatebound assa as 1:30 min class, but I dont get why
It's because of the tier
aaaaaaah okay I understand
Just got my hands on that 4pc
mb ty for helping

its actually insane how im just sniping on the mountain
I'm sure it's "better for the game" yada yada but I really wish I could have that garrote silence back without a loss
I'm assuming you take a big loss no matter what you dropped for it
This seasons dungeons have some very annoying mobs that need to be kicked in, Eco Dome in particular
hey guys weird question, I looted trinket from TW raid its hero, Pyrite Infuser
i tried simming it it seems ok
do you think sims are properly implemented for that
or its oversimming undersimming
same ngl, losing even a single global to find mark again is a dmg loss too
I denied myself an opportunity to get a heroic araz forge trinket yesterday ☠️
I feel like it was the ethical decision
But it hurts a lil
everyone wants it
no real ethics involved unless you had great trinks and others didnt
I got the Whispyr plater and its only tracking garrote and rupture which those look nice. I tried to add Deathstalkers mark but it wouldnt actually show. I also cant get deathmark to show on the list. Any help?
No but I can start using a 1.5 trinket once I get 4p
The other 2 min classes are not afforded this luxury
that'ss true, ritual forge is still strong even for fb xd
but yeah its not bis for fb
it's an extremely simple trinket, it's unlikely to have an issue in simc
With those old trinkets the main thing is seeing if it is implemented at all
!craft
Preferences currently are boot/wrist/belt/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for
Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" overall, but Blessed Weapon Grip + Dawnthread can be VERY VERY slightly better in m+
Always craft a dagger for at least an offhand. Put Ascencion or Blessed Weapon Grip on it. Additional Crafts should be Boots/Cape/Wrist/Belt for your second embellishment, after that whatever low item level slot is fine, necks can be good crafts.
If you have a myth track weapon in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer
ok, thanks @hard river so you would use it if it sims better
ya
not sure how to change it, but the dsm should be shown by the colour of the plate
oh, is that the purple spotted outline thing?
!wa
would yall use hybrid bleed or cleave for 10+ keys rn

the new tierset kills the others
since they dont take arterial precision which lets you benefit from your tierset in aoe
looks like the purple spotted outline (it moves around the nameplate) is for Deathmark. i dont see anything for DSM or spatter
I don't think it's better for the game with how classes are currently designed. Having "meaningful choice" is only good when everyone has it.
ah ok good to know
But spatter is ok, i have his WA for that

tested it just then, the plate is white
you should have 2 shivs as FB ST
can you send me a SS? i just looked and dont notice anything different. Or, i ended up getting the DSM debuff to show (had to reload, duh).
anyone else have deathstalker's mark stop being tracked on their weakaura pack over the last few days? need a fix
Have you redownloaded since the patch?
i dont think so but i heavily customize mine so i don't like doing that
i just usually manually add stuff
idk why its not tracking it tho
i have it as target debuff
it was working right up until a few days ago and i didnt change anything
it used to show above with my buffs and now its not

re organized my UI, scraped any addon i didn't need. and changed to Whispyrs plater and Afenar edit. and did a M+ this mornig and omg it felt so good. lol.
Damn Bleeds is fcking pumping, sadge I hate that build
what wep enchant is good
Random loot question - droptimizer shows that halls drops both a leather head and a leater chest for us, but when I look at dungeon journal in game, it shows the chest under mythic difficulty and the head under normal difficulty
Then the wowhead article on S3 halls that shows the loot only shows the head not the chest
I've no idea what to believe
Radiant for overall content
That man like, damn yall, the build that everyone universally said is the best build and spec….is good. You heard it here first.
Never said you said it was bad
hi is it worth breaking s2 4pc to go 2+2?
Yes
Thank you!
I mean, I deal 3M more than playing sub
Sub isn’t the best m+ spec in the game
Sub might as well be fire. It needs big pulls on cooldowns. Tank pulls dictate your dungeon damage

Cuz ass is the best spec? we're day 2 of season
I would wait that every spec got his 4p before saying that
You act like the ptr doesn’t exist
And sin was average on ptr if I trust the discord
And that sims (one of the biggest reasons people join the discord and work towards) exist
No. Sin was top on ptr
im tempte to get on the PTR so i can see what it feels like with top gear and just practice rotation
anyone can help me with plater? Wanna make sure target with deathstalkers mark has glowing border (or similar)
Just no one played it
sin was average in raid, it was blasting in keys.
sin was already top tier in keys before the buffs
buffs made it go to the moon
You’re more than welcome to check anyone of casual’s videos of ptr content on assa
I may agree with that
it'll feel identical
also I'm gonna echo what cody said
Cuz on the 40 biggest key, I only see Casual play 3 sin run vs 4 sub + 2 sub run from an asian guy
The convo was just the guy saying he didn’t know bleed was good
i figured it out, under load for some reason hero talent is checked and empty. you have to either disable or click deathstalker
And I said, bleed has been echoed in here for awhile for m+
Once again ,never said that
idk why that randomly changed lol
This not you?
Did I say "I didn't know bleeds was good"
bro's just posting a details
Did u guys do last boss as fatebound with caustic?
And seeing 3M more overall was impressing
i did ye
That's fking it
is it good?
Impressing me
ty
cool ty Cody
so simming myself single target, and trying to acheive that number is as good as it gets. seems to be the smart way.
He has a recent in depth YouTube video with timestamps. There's a section on the plater and customizing it
ive never been able to play sub. my brain just doesnt work. been mute since the sun rose lol
Hey guys; have a question if someone could help, please. With Fatebound in raids, when DM is on cd, I want to shiv before Kingbane right (then when it runs out, shiv again)? Only ask because while DM isn't on CD, you have to dry shiv it, so wanna double check.
is the new tier bugged? my 2nd DM gets ready already after 1 min
there's a bug that's making it happen sometimes yes
ah okay was so confused
Dry shiv is a deathstalker tech that abuses all the envenom dmg amps.
You dont do it with fatebound, afaik
i mean forever. been a mute rogue since the beginning, and a decent one only this expansion lol. it was time for me to get my shit together.
Also, because of the KB increased duration, always make sure the 2nd shiv is used on the final 8 seconds of it.
Normally you would just rip it as soon as the 1st ends, but with the KB longrr duration, you would need to hold the 2nd use a bit.
Just watched Whispyr video and he says it's higher damage to shiv before DM & it's called dry shiv too hha
But didnt mention when DM os on cd. I assume you just send them with KB but wanna double check
with fb 4pc you will only have 1 shiv for that kb
as opposed to a wet shiv... sorry. had to
that's the one you do at the last 8s
Better buff the ramped kb than the coins
Sorry not dry shiv 'Fatebound Pre Shiv', I meant
the pre-shiv is with 2pc
are we macroing CB into envenom?
kingsbane
cb into kb
ah alright, cool cool
anyone else stoked for the look of our tier this season
Okay thanks! So when DM is on cd, do we use both shivs in KB window, right?
also curious why are we shivving before dm with fatebound? my sim shows it doing that aswell
seems wrong to me but its obv more dmg
you won't have two with the 4pc on fatebound
buffing coins
ahh
Oh, okay. I've only got 2 set so far so isn;'t affecting me yet, I guess. haha
without it, you just double shiv the kb yes
Okay, thank you!
wish to rogue, but stuck working. 
bros i just returned kinda. do i just send 2+2p or stick old 4p?
!gear
2p asap.
Also, check pins, friend
ok i sent
ngl i checked pins first. but ig i didnt read the first line
No worries. More common than you would expect xD
i blame not having reading glasses on. cause glasse for nerds and im big jock rogue main
can you please stop telling people to sim themselves for a bit ? .
holy
Yo , what are your guys solutions to finding your deathstalker target after dot spreading on big pulls?
i use my eyes usually
nameplate color change
dont swap off your ds target
but also just don't swap
whispyrs plater has color changes for targets with deathstalkers mark
Just use mouseover rupture/garrote?
of course Whispyr's pin literally answers all of my questions.
that is the point of it
glad its done its job
whyspy the goat
nameplates but yeah, dont swap. if u swap it makes it ez to see
yeah now i wont be trash like i was in start of shadowlands.....
But kinda gotta swap if there are 30 targets haha
unless you use mouseovers?
tab works so good in this game though.
you don't have to
but i guess a mouse over UI amcro woudl be nice though..
you can just keep hitting your main target
especially on those large target counts
you'd be losing caustic damage the whole time
i only spread 5 ruptures for scent of blood and then i caustic
you can mouseover if you want but it's really not that big of a deal
ohh right, so youre saying dont rupture/garrote everything
and i rupture snipe from time to time
interesting
definitely not
Ty
i feel in anything below a 12, if you're making the timer, and not dying, youre doing well. those are my goals to be honest.
guys need bisslist phase 1 mor assasination rogue
Vanishing and reapplying it to something else because i hate this mechanic and dont care
its on wowhead if u really need that
wowhead so shit bisslist
not sure how to break this to you Dasten, but BIS lists in general are shit
2pc + 2oldpc or 4oldpc?
brother just sim, bis lists are not relevant
its a good starting point but you don't have every item on that list so it's not going to be accurate
yeah i just raibot sim everything. last seaosn it had be all over the palce due to my gear and stats.
is this for classic?
bro's asking for bis lists and phase 1
he's either a time traveller from 2008
yea
Thanks for that! I thought that rupture/garrote take prio, but I guess like you said, you lose so much causitc uptime if you're spreading dots the whole time.
would suggest a classic discord
is raidbots down for anyone else?
what do you mean raidbots is down i just waited in a 3k queue for a sim 
When should I click Vanish while playing Fatebound during KB — at the start of the KB or 5 seconds before it ends?

You should read the pins or a guide or something
you press it at the start
but you seem very confused as to why
and the answers you see are there
@balmy condor 2pc + 2oldpc or 4oldpc? thx
yeah for sure that needs a pin i may forget
You guys boutta make whispyr pop a blood vessel
i think he likes it

anyone else having the problem that the tierset doesnt reduce the kb/dm cd properly after getting the coin?
people will say rogue is sandbagging and hiding sim data but then not read the wealth of public info
there's a bug where it's doubling yes
any way to fix it?
we don't even really know how to replicate it
I mean this is only a good thing for you if it happens
you get an extra 30s/15s of cdr
but Whispyr how good is this
take the abuse and run free
doesn't look great
well mine doesnt reduce it at all, im currently having 2min cd with 4set eq on fatebound
even after the coin
what
ty for responding but it was a dumb joke, appreciate you

Whats the bug
the cdr from 4piece is weird
Bro i got 4 piece yday and i simmed the dps diffy, it went up by like 21% i got so much dopamine from that
So many neuron activations
I love wow
Really
doesn't matter
4 secondary stats and they're all vers
All my homies love pin checkers
world of warcraft has such a rich and unique gear system
with a massive amount of depth
Ngl I hate how stats are in WoW
I love equipping ilvl
Yeah lol
I can’t think of a good alternative but I agree

Except for stat breakpoints that have rotational impacts
But no one wants that
the alternative is literally just reworking all of the secondary stats to have way more niche
like haste gives resources and only resources and that's it
mastery buffs like 1/4th of the things as now
yeah haste is beans for gcd locked assas
or you have them buff talents
like every class has a core passive
haste is just a multiplier to venomous wounds
vers is like a fucking multiplier to generator damage
maybe certain skills / talents have unique crit interactions
like you gotta do something along those lines
but if mastery buffs everything
and crit buffs everything
and haste buffs everything
and vers is all damage
you get whatever wow has
Mastery used to supposedly be the niche class specific thing
spec*
alledgedly
homogenization in the service of balance

no one can be broken if everyone is the same
except when they add a 0 to one class on accident every patch
and they're still broken
yah I mean classes are legit never broken because of gear
if you've noticed
it's either the special gear
cantrips/trinkets
or it's just awful tuning
but it's never the raw stats
yeah no more "oh if mages hit X crit they turn into war criminals"
Ok but i have a secondary stat argument.
When i changed my sin stats to more verse/mastery gear for sub, i gained 200k dps
really stupid question inc 😂
are we supposed to be staying above 50% energy in ST in the bleed build when you have all dots up on the target
the things they fuck up are "this green text is bugged and doing 900% dps"
no
just don't proc thistle tea then im assuming?
well yeah depending on your current stat distribution, additional stats will be more/less good for your character
relatively speaking
yeah and when I went from 5k crit to 12k crit on fatebound, where the main stat is crit, I also gained damage, but that's not really the point 
also no
could you explain if possible please

and the fact that you can switch to 'less' optimal stats and gain damage sort of supports the entire point
that stats don't matter

sure, you don't stay above 50% for sanguine cause it's either very minor or not worth it. You don't care about auto-proccing tea because proccing it is great and you get the benefits of using the tea so there's no loss
can we just garrote/rupture our main target and it'll smart spread bleeds or will we be munching one?
yes and yes
you'll be munching the one you're casting on
the others are smart
it's typically not really an issue
so it's best to change target or is that minor?
depending on target count it can matter
pretty irrelevant overall
like if it's 5 targets your first garrote hits 3 and the second hits 2 so you still get full coverage
on 6 you technically wanna target switch but it doesn't really matter
it's not gonna make or break the pull
you get the VAST VAST VAST majority of power from your bleeds on the first 5 targets, after you bleed the first 5, the bleed value falls off a cliff and they're basically just raw damage
^
which is to say, not really that much
the pin mentions getting ruptures to 8-9. will it even be significant at those pull numbers?
appreciate the quick answers!
lots of us just never target switched all the way to very large keys for the last couple of season and it never really mattered
cuz there's an opportunity cost to spending more globals spreading bleeds and delaying your CDs
especialy at lower keys
you'll lose like 2ish ruptures going to that count
but if you have agood plater profile and use like mouseover macros for rupture and garrote
you can try to be a little more efficient
will there be some GCD-police freaks that will scream at you for not using mouseovers for your optimal super giga rupture spread to make sure you never ever waste anything?
but yeah you're just losing the raw rupture damage on those 2 targets basically
there's also a mental tax to try to snipe nameplates in the middle of a big hectic pull
while trying to watch kicks and stops and manage CDs
and dungeon mechanics
and I'd rather just pick a target and a focus for kicks
and slam buttons so I don't stand in a swirly
at the low price of missing 2 ruptures

(i'm still getting hit by the swirly)
!gear
Which Plater do you like?
I don't remember which one I used

Whispyr's is good
Cev's is good
I used a tank one for a long time
and just adjusted the debuff tracking
That's fair. Im using Jundies, and the debuffs are too small for my eyes to see.
I remember jundies bein good
I like the color coding and casting alerts anyway.
jundies is good
does anyone have the are my stats good 300 ilvl btw meme
yeah it's mostly personal preference as long as it covers all of the basics
(my plater is just jundies in a trenchcoat)
I preferred bigger name plates, small debuffs, and color coded mobs
Jundies (the player) is also really good
for kickable / cc able / leuitenant / etc
and big cast bars
and some glowy pandemic for bleeds

when can i get rid of disc belt
when you get a belt that sims higher id bet
whispyrs guide said ilvl 710 for belt is when you can change from disc belt

what's the reasoning behind using fatebound or nightstalker on specific raid fights (don't say because its better x))
tbf i have no idea what fatebound does or is meant to be good for
fatebound better in pure st

Hey, could someone explain the reason behind this? I was practicing on the dummies and learning the rotation. Normally, I get around 12 million damage with my bleed build (GS 675), but for some reason, I hit around 25 million in one try without pressing anything different.
but just happend one time
not without logs 
Was the dummy in excute range?
that would be a likely culprit
!macro
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
probably yes
with 4p on fb, is the solo kingsbane naked, meaning no shiv?
for soul hunters we dont keep up bleeds on the other 2 right?
I assume u would
keeping up rupture and garrote?
what trinket should I play with prism?
i got this + prism
but prism sims lower even on same ilvl
so idk if i should switch it for on use/dont switch at all
it was because of the execute range thanks guys
If it sims lower than lily then probably use lily
Unless you're specifically planning around a damage amp with it
anyone know what to do if my manaforgr vandals rep is still at 1
so I play this as my on use + stat proc trinket?
despite its unlocked
I mean yes if it sims higher I'm tired
you have a shiv for it
Awsome! I just seen someone else have that issue and Whispyr ask that. So had a idea on what the issue would be.
bruh how fuckin laggy is this shit
so if you hypothetically won every raid trinket this week youd use araz/antenna in raid and m+right
Depends on ilvl
omg how hard to roll on trinkets in raid
Yes
why is sin doing a trillion damage in keys right now
i dont actually understand what i will play, so im afraid to confuse my RL
whats going on chat
Not worth to use at 1.5min intervals im assuming
Many buffs, deathstalker strong
damn
Slightly worse
Ngl feels bad using prism in keys cus first pull it’s ass
is bleed build dumb on soul hunters?
!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 +20's or higher, you should play bleed
- Even if you're doing higher, you should probably play bleed
- 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.
talking about raid ^^
But deleting packs later 18 stacks feels nice
this was for me, not in response to you
bad timing kek
lol 😄
It’s fine but idk why people are playing it over just a 2/3t build
M+ brained I guess
Pretty much yeah
That’s what you have vanish for
yeah but i did not know the fucking intermission pillars dropped mark on death...
!loot
Yeah it's a lot of emotional damage but you just save vanish to reapply to boss for damage amp
And accept pylons are just cursed
Should’ve read the pins I guess

the neck from streets drops from gambit on this image:

does anyone know the exact drops between streets and gambit or is it just one big pool?
it can be
New strat unlocked, just go to whatever pylon everyone else is going to last so it dies last and you never lose mark

gotcha i was just wondering if it would be cool to only bleed xd
Just play bleed build m+
does spider web on 2nd boss hm count as ennemies for fatebound?
or only the one the tank put the cleave on?
If it’s got an enemy nameplate, it counts
Yeah true
10 adds 1 min very reasonable sim metric
All buffs and pi as well
Fuck it
We send stealth 2 vanishes into a 10 pack for fun
the deadest pack in the history of dead packs
5 mob 5 min 😄

It is wrong. Rogues use dungeon slice
Thanks I have cancer now
lmao
oh didnt know that
I’m feeling the tumors growing as we speak
i cant undertand the dungeon slice tho
It’s a boss and small/large aoe with restealths and chain pulls
Basically everything under the sun
I think im too old. I cant do ?? Kyveza cuz the dashes require such a perfect aim
AHHH thats what i was asking
ty
now i know why i should sim dungeon slice
Blaming your age is cringe
yellow names 
yellow name suprimacy 😄
😞
do you remember what you were doing when the towers fell?
There are 70 year olds at my fencing club absolutely trouncing people less than half their age. They’re not making excuses. Just crushing it
Yup, middle school English class
old
I was standing at the bus stop
waiting to go to 7th grade
that shit was like 40 years ago
👴
maybe even 50
O.o
may i ask for advice by sharing boss logs?
Guys can some1 explain a bit if its harder to play now ST with Fatebound as it was Before on DS?
is there a general guideline to using netherprism on certain stacks. I read macroing to vanish for 3min usage or around dmg amps for niche situations. anything else? also does it not show up well in sims?
it's basically the same
just dont troll me ^^
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/WVmf2rhwLYPBGzTy?fight=12&type=damage-done
i was the top dps
but i can say i could deal sooo muc hmore
Im having way too much fun in this game
thank you for the big shlong guide whispyr
we will get a huge nerf soon 😄
Well atleast im having fun now
so do i sim dung slice?
for m+ yes
ive heard its garbage
You heard wrong
we've been using dslice for years
wtf am i not getting any coin flips in my fatebound raid build lol
hey guys how do you use the netherprism trinket ? as any other on use ?
1 dumb question
FB single targeting
should i cast my Cold blood envenoms with max cp?
or still 5 is enough?
well with the talent it only boost envenoms tho
sorry really fast can anyone tell me why im randomly breaking stealth in dornagal even out of combat
belt?
ye just macro it in and take it off the bars 👍

legit just hands off key board breaking steaalth in dornagal
YES
Int weapon
we're gonna get nerfed chat ;(
he wasn't jokin abut the intellect dagger

the day i rolled to rogue i just crafted an int dagger and pushed to 2.2k in day 3

why does it break stealth
its about skill B) (i got carried)
some effect on there or something
i don't play this game I just aquire information through osmosis
spending too much time in here
I've read the Wowhead and icy veins guides.. But I'm still struggling A LOT in ST within M+. I'm a lot further behind the others but keep up in AOE or pull ahead..
The main thing i think i'm not doing well on is the sanguine blades buff? Would this be absolutely tanking my DPS if i don't micro manage this?
!design
Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination. As a burst spec our damage is mainly loaded into Deathmark/Shiv and massive Envenoms through stacking multiple nature damage buffs such as Lingering Darkness, Shiv, Darkest Night, Amplifying Poison, and more. This comes with the natural downside of our damage suffering outside of these windows, in part due to the designed lack of energy slowing us down.
Because of this, there is only one minor (0.3%) min-max with energy, which is pooling 3-4 seconds into an upcoming Kingsbane. Ideally this would put you at around 50-60% energy before you enter your Kingsbane, which is more than enough energy alongside thistle tea. Outside of that, spam Envenom and just accept that you will run out of energy. There is nothing you can do to not run out of energy. Playing around Envenom uptime also is not relevant anymore, as Twist the knife allows for two stacks at a time, which reduces wasted uptime dramatically. Without twist the knife, wasting uptime is unavoidable.
holyyy
2pc 2pc that giga?
I feel i'm v far behind others though. So i must be fundamentally doing something wrong I just can't figure out what. I'm pretty new back to xpac, is the only way to find out via logging really?
maybe just ask a question
shiii
instead of slamming random commands
cant read
!buffrogue
Are we macroing tea to shiv for all specs or just certain ones
I was just curious on how to play fatebound
I’m watching assassin rogue the movie by wispyr Nolan but I might not finish before raid tonight
I watchedd ur video but I forgot I was jsut lookin for bullet points

for assas yes
PLaying CT for exemple
for raid can we macro cold blood with eviserate
This is the sin channel
they rushed me to raid i dont evne have crap set up yet
maybe don't play it then?
playing fatebound without 2p sounds troll as hell
In what world do you not know days ahead of time when raid is happening
leaving getting lucky coin to rng
it's not
I bussed on some rogussy yesterday with no tier 10 ilvls down doing splits
Fb is sheep
Goat
at what ilvl more or less you replace heroic jastor?
Bleed build in m+ needs restealth more right I was doing 10s with a chain pulling tank and i was running out of vanishes due to the route
!restealth
I dont remmeber the command
!chainpull
Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:
- For starters, "Chain pulls" are NOT when the tank pulls a new pack with 1% hp remaining on the previous mobs. That is called "Bad Tanking", and it sucks for everyone in your party.
- Correct Chain pulls usually happen while the previous pack is still alive and not dangerous. This increases uptime on more targets, which is the biggest increase in DPS for the entire party. This is also the biggest reason why you see high key level players doing so much damage.
- Garrote is roughly 7-9% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
- Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
- Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon, but does allow for holding vanish for large chain pulls which improves the quality of each vanish
- You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.
thanks
It wasn’t as bad when we weren’t bleed build
if tank is that big a chimp
But I’m missing carnage and garrote spreading and 50% more dam lol
Chimp pimpin

you cant get reported for playing bad
else half the pug playerbase would be suspended
terrorism my most used report option
that isnt new
It's relatively new
I swapped over to rogue like 12 weeks ago and im doing hc for the first time in the new raid and im logging orange im so happy 🙂
Not this patch
i think it was in DF too
No shot

Tbf I very rarely report anyone
But I didn't even notice it until last patch lmao
i mean i'm kind of on the other side
just let the tanks be unleashed dogs at the park
Ive got a m+ bleed build question. Say we kill a pack and have DN available, and we're opening on the 2nd pack. Do you still open with ambush? and do you prioritize getting all the bleeds up (garrote, rupture and CT) before using the DN proc or do you prio the DN envenom finisher?
Yeah thats a walk into frontal angle
whats the part of the spec which needs envenom at full combo points? or is that now just 5+ ?
Death stalkers mark
I was owning this geared shadowpriest in halls 10 and he started PI’ng the ret instead for ego reasons lol
Yeah thats why you tricks the ret
With that chain pulling tank, he beat me by .1%:(
do you always aim for full combo points or cut off at 5-6 where possible to maximise combo points?
What’s crazy is 18 stack prism makes me get aggro
no it's always 5+ except when you need to reapply mark
With a brew or dh
