nexus is definitely a fb fight what
Yar
sub bosses 
even with the adds, interesting okay
spec into splatter or not worth?
Would this be decent in M+ until I get a better option? Over HoC?
not over hoc, maybe over your other trinket
!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
Myth track Pacemaker 
yea ofc, ib is shit
ty sir!
do u still cast mutilate over ambush in stealth?
what confuses you my son
Blizzard should do a cursed M+ season where they bring back all hated m+ dngs into the pool like SOT and siege
they already did that, it's called legion remix
I vaguely recall doing that in shadowlands s2

well lemix you just gonna farm frogs and blast
Sot was a banger lowkey

this here
tbf i havent put any of this into practice and i am only reading
Not sure if it's noticed yet, is caustic splatter bugged on soulbinder Naazindhri?
I hear streamers saying assa is very strong now and will get nerfed in the future. I played yesterday but i don't feel like its that far ahead from the rest
I think there may be a weird interaction happening with the "Soulfray Annihilation" 200% dmg increase on the chamber adds. My caustic splatter is accounting for 40% of my dmg https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/G4aJjKFZ6A3kRNqy?fight=last&type=damage-done
gonna scream to the masses here, araz on deathstalker is cringe.
yeh legit doesn't matter but I guess I can change to ambush
yes
it's pretty good
well if a STREAMER says it, it must be true
so its ambush in stealth
true actually
yeah sure
whispyr is a streamer so i trust him with my life
im just making sure bc i was playing KiR with ambush in my bars
That is a generally good rule for life
and got called a fat donkey by mewo
i think we need the streamers to make updated tier lists
also i played bleed build on council despite whispyrs condemnations
so i may have sinned
Given the current political climate I worry about crafting a streamer tier list
it went pretty well though
One guy is Gona be like "Hasan goat"
The next will be all "Aidin Ross for lyf"
Suddenly... Open warfare and someone rolls outlaw in protest
week 1 of the raid with partial tier on heroic difficulty is very reliable data and should inform tuning decisions, right?
yes
Definitely
The cleanest data has ever been
Honestly if the peeps in my guild are any kind of temperature gauge I think other classes are largely getting decision paralysis over to 2/2 or not
watch assassination get nerfed and fall behind for the rest of the tier
Meanwhile were over here like "YAY 2P WOOOOOOOOO"
ban vibe assassins
Got that brad pitt bullet train vibe
that's a good movie
ladybug
what belt effect are u using

soulbinder is so fun as rogue
Most people probably bracers.
i feel like the ring options that aren't raid are ass
ring wouldn't be a bad craft
But like the patch is pretty low priority. I might craft a big item instead tbh
My ability to locate a neck for instance is straight non existent
And I'd rather get a 720 neck than 720 bracers
But the answer for most will be 85% "definitely bracers"
yea i mean i was thinking neck too
nexus king drops our bis neck
whats the odds u get that mfer quick
Hello, is anyone able to help figure out why my damage is so low? Been following guides and practicing but getting creamed when another rogue is in the group.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/us/moon-guard/sablevale
no gems and missing enchants to start
i don't think it's related to other players being there or not
Yeah, I didnt mean to imply they where the reason, just what im comparing to. What enchants?
10/10 fight
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Check wowheads guide and copy "consumables" tab for enchants
while playing fatebound do you guys just hold cds until they align normally or do you wait if its 30s or longer?
Dont'all our CDs allign as FB, except maybe 1.5 trinks?
just one note on the dimensius guide @balmy condor - you don't lose stealth with the phase warp anymore so you don't need to vanish to apply deathstalkers mark
or the tips per boss
Its sick hey
Hey! I have a quick question:
I have both Lily and Unyielding Netherprism. Can I use Lily with Deathmark and Unyielding with vanish and is that better than using a passive trinket with either? Idk how to sim for that sort of thing but in my head it makes sense
yeah they hotfixed it, luckily we don't play deathstalker on it either so it's not relevant in the first place 
I'll get that fixed up
double on use is giga shit
you would pick one and play that
You could if you vanish 20sec after using the first trinket, but it's shit to run double active
(probably the prism)
damn you whispyr, to fast again
ah understood, and unyielding is better right?
in most cases yes
Always sim your gear š
yeah it was a question since idk if sims account for double on use very well
it doesn't but fixing it specifically with prism is very tricky
and when I checked the combo to see if it was worth the trouble
it was like -4.5%
to just running a reasonable combo
so I just can't be fucked fixing something from -7% to -4.5% 
ty for ur theorycrafting ā¤ļø
in theory what you would do is like lily on pull, then lily with your 1:30's
then prism at 3
then lily at 4:30
and then prism 6
or the other idea is to lily 1:30, prism 3:00, then lily 3:45, and then prism 4:30
but that's cancer
in FB do you hold shiv so ytou have two during KB?
do you have 4pc
no, 2p
then you would hold shiv to have two during kb, yes
there is nothing else rotationally that you would shiv
0p gang 
2 cata charges?
saving for if we actually get zero tier tokens
okay, figured since theres no DS mark to dry shiv
from last bosses
Fair
sub was doing araz 0, prism 130, araz 3min, prism 430. might be slightly better than using lily in a similar way but probably still bad
!loot
what to do with 4p then for future reference? š
kingsbane becomes a 45 s cd
and dm a 1.5m
so can only use 1 on the solo kb
do we use unyielding every deathmark or every other?
Depends on fight and kill time but every other is better with 4pc
Imma be the change needed in the world (I won't and fail miserably)
!gear
!up
What are the predictions on boss order in mythic?
Binder before loom?
Surely fract before hunters?
And like idk disband before king probably
Two on use is thing now for assa too?
You CAN buy it's definitely not as good I believe
well binder already died before loom so definitely the first one

no its horrible
I have forge from TW
Oh shit I didn't realise he was dropped. I wonder if that stays the norm
assuming 4 piece before a fatebound change
Can't wait to try out 4p on next raid
what?
FB is good on st even before any new tier

Lol?
Swapping between longer kb and shiv will be awkward to me
Guaranteed I'm going to get ds and FB playstyles all mixed up lol
All part of prog
Like the amount of people who still had spatter loaded for sprocket last tier
got a dagger, first timed sin in a 12 and played like a slobbering baboon
and my friend "went to bed" after
ill even take the role off
Am I correct to assume this implies you commonly play ol?
does this have to be mutilate for fatebound opener?
If you can handle the mental load of ol I 1000000000000000000000% guarantee you can play sin
Multi dotting is NOT above you
Especially when you don't even need to change target
ill hit dummies tomorrow and see how i ffel
wait...
u dont need to tab target
???????
Not when you have an IC locked and loaded at least
Maybe to refresh bleeds. But I promise it's still not above you
Sin is far far far more chill than ol even knows exists as a concept
This helped a little bit, thank you.
ic?
in an AOE pull on M+, Ambush first and do you just constantly use garrote rupture until all targets hit and then move on? Or do you want crimson tempest on pretyty quickly?

Indiscriminate carnage. A talent in the bottom right of the sin tree. Part of our m+ toolkit
The opener is listen in the wowhead guide, as both ST, cleave, 5, 8 targets etc
Big. Worth. Put on. Say woo.

2pc will be my next step lmao
In raid, sure
In m+ too
Man I feel like a week ago people were saying āsub and sin are close, but sub may be a little bit better in raid as it standsā and now look at things. Yikes for sub.
Not as much as you make it out to be lol
Probably more so
If you feel that way
I think on average itās not too different in difficulty. OL still pulls ahead ig
Anyone who doesn't is likely playing ol very poorly or has played it so long they're not thinking straight
On average sin is DEFINITELY considered hyper easy compared to ol
Yeh just donāt need to exaggerate it so much to new players lol
Both are easy enough to pick up imo
Yeah I remember seeing people submit logs to guy after saying it's fairly straightforward to pick up
Those were entertaining times
Ok
nah outlaw is trickier it's not really debatable.
Sin pretty much occupies bottom rung of rogue complexity
with 2pc FB, do we shiv for the last 8 seconds of kingsbane or deathmark?
If thereās new players to a spec
Over-exaggerating difficulty disparities (subjective) isnāt helpful
Can confirm, i wooād in raid
I have a theory for m+ once ppl have 4 piece. Fatebound cleave build will be the preference, I think the ST boss dmg might give it the advantage over DS bleed with poor single target.
Totally fair in some respects. The mental stack that outlaw presents won't pressure all players the same. But the technical proficiency required to perform ol rotations compared to sin is also dramatically separated.
So it's easier in both on the fly computation as well as button pressing.
There's still complexities that people might or might not encounter. But one is undeniably more intuitive.
And less punishing of errors
Nah you give up way too much aoe
from not playing deathstalker
Even with 45s Kingsbane, maybe the trade off is worth it for boss dmg?
Usually you'll just pull non threatening mobs onto bosses.
and let singular do its work
Fair enough.
Do we shive before or during KB when casting it w/o DM?
Also to note. When I've brought it up today it's more been as a prop for the people who have mentioned it.
Telling someone that they're entirely capable of playing sin well if they already do so on ol is a compliment or at least encouragement.
Also true
Honestly singular focus does so much work now.
Same as learning any other spec
Itās still a diff skill set
I agree outlaws more cognitive load if thatās what youāre saying
its actually crazy we're a few days into the patch and i cant get geared up in 2s
story of every group literally ever
There's hundreds of people trying to join as well. If you can't handle it, make your own group or make some friends
its not about not getting into a group. its about there being no tanks or healers
ive been trying to get into a group for 2 hours, for 20-30 minutes i tried to do my own key
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
I think the whole "auto 675" gearing thing recently has also thrown people's expectations out of whack
it actually feels like i unironically kinda have to already quit the patch because i cant get in a group
ive tried multiple nights now for HOURS
When do hybrid build outpreforms bleed? Overall~ ?
Never
fuu sim show sub is by far superior at keys but most ppl play and do more damage with assa why it can be
Hybrid is dead
I mean... Maybe not totally
There is still potentially a point HIIIIGH in keys where your group makeup might demand higher st
dungeon slice sims doesnt show m+ performance at all, thats not what its for
But it would be based on the group most likely
Sub feels good in keys tbh, but im kinda haste heavy now to play it
anyone got a poison build for m+ that works cuz this bleed build is boring
ever since legion i havent liked this version of sub, i really enjoyed the old version
just play the kingsbane cleave one then
aint that for the raid ?
i tried it yesterday in floodgate it sucked
because the bleed one is the one thats good at mythic+. idk hows its boring they dont feel that different
me and the tank had the same damage lmao
bleed build does alot of dps
and you can untalent CT if you really dont want to do aoe damage
Blood for the Blood God homie.
Get on board or try outlaw.
yeah but poison hut hit diff its so fun when u cast the Evenom and the splash happens
Take care using the fi build in low keys. Because of the speed that mobs die at you'll find yourself up shit creek without a vanish or dsm
Often
playing outlaw feels like my brain cant keep up with the pace while also doing mechanics
Common sentiment. You absolutely do get used to it though
i i tried it for a week or so and definitely enjoyed it but felt like it was just too much so just swapped to assa lol
I find I have like an outlaw key limit these days. After like 4 I need to lie down
glad to know its not just me though
I'm old
lol i feel that

definitely gets the dopamine pumping when u get bte procs though, very fun in that way
im actually not in love with the current iteration of any of the rogue specs, its liek each one has... something missing
i think bleed build is nice and comfy but i dont mind
yeah its definitely comfy
yeah i dont like sub at all personally, pre legion it was my go to
that was a long time ago now but yeah lol
i think sub should be slow paced and really high burst, and low damage in between. i liked when you had to blow everything in your shadowdance in wod and then you have like a 1 minute cooldown phase
I hesitate to give opinions on ol because they lean into the core functions of it. The infinite feedback loop deal. But it's not that I hate it by any means. I just think it currently leans a little too hard into it
sub has negative apm outside dance and inside dance its basicly very scripted
u need to be disciplined
there is just no way u can play around cds with sub
its not outlaw
I don't mind being able to make a mistake and not suffer instant heartbreak
dying in a fight on outlaw is actually soul crushing lmao
liek dying and then getting rezzed i mean
Currently ol is like
"Oh I heard what you were thinking for .01 of a second. That's it fuck your parse"
I feel the same 100%
None of them feel good or fun rn idk
yeah its strange, my rogue was my main for so long but for years now it just hasnt really hit for me
And that it's so much work to put in compared to other speccs just to get average performance
the combat bug that has existed literally since vanilla makes rogue basically stop functioning
sub burst is a bit funny sometimes
raccoon typing
thats sub now? last time i played it it just felt like consistent damage
u had like 43 dances and just were constnatly spamming dance
When was that
Classic?
that was last expansion lol
like start of last expansion
Sub is fun ATM imo. The cadence of the spec sometimes bothers people
It's okay during dance
looks like u had this massive stomachacke and u had to go to the toilet every 1-1.5min
Sleeper outside
lmao
i wonder if they have some rogue reworks cooking, theyve been quiet on the balance front for a bit
same for brewmaster, its like they just unironically forget about some classes lol
Coming back to rogue after not playing since shadowlands - is sin the move??
it seems so right now
sheesh
Like also a common sentiment. But I imagine perma dance sub would sit in the outlaw category for most peeps
Like too much
yeah i didnt enjoy the perma dance phase
Like wtf is that
you press backstab in dance rn???
so according to the breakdown u pretty much nuked adds/pack on 3min mark and pumped ST on the last bump
thats actually unhinged
now the real question is what the fight was in this graph
my entire chat box
Like you need 3 binds more or less
2x backstab and one for shadowstrike
It's so annoying
thats so gross wtf
Similar to ho on outlaw
Where the procced ambush is actually different from normal ambush
if you are doing 4s probably better to just run your own key
So if you get the procc, you need to press the sinister strike button instead of ambush that is basically an ambush
Like wtf is that
What am I playing
i tried, i got 1 dps sign up in 30 minutes lol
Dis some Roblox mod kinda clunk
my ilvl is just slighlty low and theres not really much way to get it up
that sounds actually unbearable
It kinda is this season atleast, because we play different build, but the class is just littered with these weird things that make it annoying and convoluted
u are a freaking monster
should I be running old talents till I get 2p?

Bottom yellow bar is sub correct? 
Gamer
absolute lad
Just saw he ain't even 680 so prob good damage
I felt like pepega with sub without 4 set is this normal
I feel pepega with sub even with 4pc and prism
how good frost DK look btw for raids?
yeah frost is crazy right now
im getting destroyed in pvp as well from their massive dmg so its an indication they are pretty strong
it was thanos and then got nerfed and i think its still insane
Dying as rogue in pvp is always a balance diff never player related I can confirm that 
not playing rogue in pvp but ye
its not like rogues survive dks anyway
nothing survives
funny part is that they nerfed them as well
imagine going live prenerf

for what?
for the whole raid
am using the deathstalker raid build from wowhead is it good
or should i switch to fate
without new 4set you can play DS pretty much everywhere
š
hello
!gear
is this true
idk probably
yep, though not announced so they could change it
iam just looking at the current mplus blead build. i personally dont like sb talent, is there a proper alternative or would it be a big loss?
sb as in sanguine blades?
yes
then i finally need to get used to not pressing buttons all the time
mh maybe i have a missconception here
i read it as i should stay always above 50% energy so it does something
oh how would i properly make use of it then?
it's passive
I think what he meant to say: If you're keeping your bleeds up, you should have enough energy regen that this will do a lot of damage.
well his concern is that you have to be >50% in single target
which you don't
every other situation you don't think about sanguine because its aoe and energy is not an issue
sanguine is for AoE
you have 100% energy in AoE
like at any point there are 3+ targets, you just don't run out of energy and Sanguine won't change that
also unrelated
somehow I've been blasting a lot more than before the patch
like even before I got the 720 dagger, I've been doing 50% more damage in M+ with no gear changes other than gloves going from 671 to 697
maybe I'm starting to get decent-ish at assa
the m+ bleed build has disgustingly good aoe
What about st
kinda crap ngl

with the new tier set are you only using shiv after deathmark and then once you've proc'd darkest night?
you don't change the shiv logic
what is shiv logic?
like whatever you were doing with shiv previously
is the same this patch
tier doesn't change anything
high
previously it was shiv cds and dry shiv

assa is feeling absolutely amazing in keys with 4 set
Spoilers!
wtf

how much 4p new tier does more than 2p new 2p s2 ?
You know you can sim it right?
You just put the items in
in topgear
just type in the name and put the item level in
and select them š
where can i find the name
google.com rogue tier set
always i could find pictures of these sims

healer looking for sin as alt here with basically 0 exp. is there a better order to learn it other than reading icyveins and talents, like a specific thread, website or similar? thinking about m+ specific
Wowhead has all your needs
bring vendetta back
i saw many ones did
Do you reapply rupture on M+ packs with vanish or just reapply rupture on main target?
Hey guys
i dont see seal of the panoply in tazavesh gambit
is there another ring for our bis list?
I would just use the droptimizer belga
It drops from Streets
blizzard hotfix swapped the rings and all the databased are fucked

the name of what addon
Isn't that just a screenshot of the Wowhead talent calc?
I was thiniking its in game talent helper
that's a screenshot from my stream earlier where I was playing with the talent calc and fixing guide stuff
it'
why is the bloodbound horror build staff only
is just the talent calc
what secrets are you keeping from me
It's just Wowhead
NP! There are some add-ons that help manage talent loadouts though
in season 1 we put builds of each boss into the talent calc under their name
we don't follow that anymore
I'm gonna delete those going into midnight
Haha i main outlaw rogue for a few years now and was like, let me give assa a try. But nope not for me.
secret backend wowhead leaks
I dont like to DOT enemies and stuff first
whispyr did your plates change? i used them all last season and they seem different than now
I updated the npc colors for season 3 yes
Is there any Uldar trinket sims
raidbots.com will have them yes
wrathstone is okay, but it also just got nerfed
the rest aren't worth mentioning
yes sure ^^
Really depends for me if i think the pack will last long enough and if my tank is chaining or not, if its a heavy pack and i think its gonna live that long i will
I see people with 70% mastery and others with 40% but no more haste so I don't really know what to focus on.
that's why we have sims
With the same build
We focus on what the robot says gives us a higher number
Disregard secondaries, plug information into the robot
week 1 of a new patch will have large swings of gear
so you cant just look at their stats and say yes this is what i want
how are people feeling about their pure ST in m+ at the moment?
you kinda just equip everything
if there is only 1 target im crying
Yo whispyr
people have been bitching about bleed single target for nearly 3 years at this point and they're keepin it up
I pinged u 2 times idk if u saw my msg
there are so many little things to sim today that its such a hassle (and probably inaccurate) to sim your char without raidbots premium 
I did not
its weird because i actually really enjoy the rotation of ST but its really hard to buff it without making our AOE out of control lol
i think tyr is just a dumb thing
I was wondering on sanguine blades minmax, being above half energy.. do we ignore that in shiv/lingering windows?
Ye
you only stay above 50% energy if there is literally nothing happening
no bleed to refresh, no darkest night
no lingering
no cooldown
no add about to spawn
Ye ok ok figured
no cooldowns up soon
Big big
it should realisitically only be around like
10-15% of a fight maybe
and it's 0.2-0.3%
I assume sim is usually also ignoring envenom uptime too sometimes right?
I'm probably removing the entire thing from the guide I'm ngl
!ambush
Anyone got a time stamp for where Whispyr goes over how the fuck our tier set actually works/what it buffs specifically with DS? from this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZXEXxFABJM&t=2124s&ab_channel=WhĆspyr

Ye its giga rare whispyr
!mutilateambush
sim has no check for envenom uptime in any situation
it's not in there cause it's just everything
can someone link me the mutilate/ambush macro?
that's not a macro we have
U just envenom before it ends thats what ive been doing
is it worded really weirdly? Because it sounds like it only buffs 'some stuff' or is it literally everything?
Ara'Kara, what time remaining on cast should we shadow step last boss? played Outlul first season
yh i have one hold on
everything that gives you damage
I remember there was 1 button macro for that.
Ah okay yeah fair enough, what about applying single ruptures to mobs other than ur main target?
you just put ambush on your stealth bar, and mutilate out of stealth
it auto does that now
blindside proc replaces mutilate
/cast [mod] [form] Ambush; Mutilate
there's nothing else to do
this should work
I dont use paging on action bars
I see
Thanks will try
unless i need energy regen id rather spatter off the biggest baddest target
/cast [mod] [form] Ambush; Mutilate
this macro should be somewhere, you can also change Ambush/mutilate to the sub abilities too
Works perfect thanks
idk how common it is that people ask for it
this macro works if you use elvui and have tthe same bar
most of the time it's boomers coming back to the game
and they're like
"ambush proc
"
and then you have to tell them it replaces
exactly
I always assume it's outlaw people because they avoid their blindside proccs or something
are they actually
paging action bars is the only reason to use this macro i think as stealtthstance etc doesnt work with it, its niche but i have answered this at least a few times in the last couple of days in here and in sub
with KIR build? yeah I think so
what a shit spec
it's fun, but yeah that part is dumb as fuck
last time i played outlaw was S1/S2 of DF
and it was pretty fun
just felt like a cooler fury warrior lol
Ah alright thanks that is very helpful
S1 was perfect until they nerfed pistol shot
you missed the best tier season actually, season 3 tier was crazy fun
I remember there was a petition on change org
was playing mw monk
so i still had fun lol
all that matters
s2
i enjoyed that season
monk dungeon was s1 tho lol
haha
is sin supposed to beat out subtlety in heavy pulls on m+?
yea?
no?
i dont know
What is a heavy pull?
I can pull 18m dps as sub on big enough packs but I canāt even break 7m a sin
So like
how bad am I fucking up LMAO
that is a skill issue
If they die in 10s then probably sub is better
Floodgates, first pull with hero, like 20+ mobs give or take
i hit like 12m afk in the 5 target dummies at full hp
Yea I know Iām trying to trouble shoot it š„¹
shiv your CT
da fuck
its really not, there certainly are ways
Alright well good to know I have room to improve at leastā¦
Can I ask what ilvl you are for this and if you have set?
Might go to the training dummies tomorrow and really try to figure this out
in the !fuu document, it uses "Artisanal Flourish" enchant
is this stuff even in the game?
yes
@balmy condor a qeustion about simming gems right. right now its telling me to put in vers/crit gems. would you just ignore that? because its everytime different based on how your stats are looking? and just keep gemming crit?
2set and i think i was 675?
2set 2set anyway
like through what exactly?
im now 688 so its prob way higher and i have my 720 dagger now
i dont see it in the AH
stonebound artistry. I dont see where he would be using it on sin tho
yh i was beating the other rogue in our raid who was 694 or some shit yesterday at 675 until he realised and then i never got close to him every again š
I guess yeah, I just put crit>mast gems cause of fatebound and me being absolutely crit starved
I don't use the agi gem either
can't be asked
you can
Yeah im at 28% crit right now. and its telling me to gem vers which i find quite unlikely because fatebound likes crit more
so i dont know why
may they tho?
right here
talking of raid btw, i only lost my mark like 5 times over 11 bosses (norm/heroic) why are so many bosses just.. going immune with my mark on them lol, we need 5 vanishes
Im geuinely debating to go fatebound on araz because mark is so shit
yeah but thats his sub profile, is it not ?
and we lack also boss damage
no
fatebound is also fun even if i have no idea what im doing
bro I had to put double crit weapon enchants on it's so whack
eww alright, didnt look at fatebound. sim the enchants yourself tho
you dont really have to know what your doing honestly
What's the difference for gemming verse? 0.1%?
whatever the sim tells you it is
i just macro everything and hit keys lol but feel like my opener is jank but it seems fine from looking at guides
just like.. 700 buttons to start it
just gota do the opener good
and the rest speaks for self
its no different then DS
Yeah, my point is who gives a shit...
i think its 0 dif as i macro CB and pot and trinket to DM and KB anyway lol
people that minmax
some got that urge for every 0.x%
thats me
dungeon slice the best way to sim for m+ gear?
my muscle memory just cant do that.. whats the dps dif in shiv/DM and DM/Shiv?
Very little. i dont know the numbers. but it doesnt break it
you can just shiv after DM
is that because we get something, extra crit? I never remember, i do this but i cant remmeber why lol
We vanish after KB because of jeopardy
which is crit?
double flip on next envenom after vanish
let me show you
or a game show?
coinflip
ooohh
This is why you vanish
imagine doing it right for the completely wrong reasons muahahah
so you flip two coins on both sides
i was doing loom prog yesterday
so opener, vanish then go wham
basically
not even 18
im doing notes at the moment with whispyr like hes a lecturer at uni lol
i need hand outs
and colouring in
Any good plater profiles out there for assa?

i got to 20 and got excited, then realized it's the wrong coin
Very broad question: i keep running out of energy on bossfights in m+ around the 40% hp mark. Is this something other people also experience? Should i look at getting more haste or maybe im pressing buttons too fast? I know its a very vague yet specific question but it annoys the hell out of me š
!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.
Crit stat is like crack to my character atm
if you actually read, it has platers at the bottom
its not vague or speciifc or new, we get asked at least 20 times a day
yes, sorry just woke up
lock in bro
resimming my weapon enchants rn, I'm sure I will see smth interesting
the bot answer made me think the same hahah

!duplicated
yeah i should have looked first tbh, thanks tho š
doesnt work
!pins

we're currently still in the patch cycle of answering the same 5-6 questions on an endless loop
it is what it is
And questions....
!secret
tbf assasination seems way more confusing than it is
!roulette
maybe shut down the channel for a bit
!gamba

When are we getting this seasons equivalent of !rik and !Richard?
!araz might work
!pylons
!Richard
It still lives
yeah there's a secret command where if you say a naughty word it shows up in a secret channel that only a few people can see and we will laugh at it and if it's a bad enough word you get a free ban, but you won't know if it's bad enough until you get banned
!rik
Rik Reverb Barrels (and similar spread cleave in raid)
- Not your problem.
- Assassination is the worst target swapping spec in the game, and we have no tools available to deal with the situation of priority spread cleave. Caustic can reach sometimes but similar to fire mage, the boss needs to be on top of the adds, causing caustic to often be out of range.
- If you're truly hellbent on swapping to barrels, hold your nearest darkest night and just slam a darkest night envenom into them and pray. If you're quick enough you can also pool combo points/energy and cast a rupture on a barrel to try and caustic off of them. This still will not do good barrel damage, again, the spec is doomed for it
- Another possible option would be talenting into Crimson Tempest by untalenting Bone Spike and Doomblade. This CAN TECHNICALLY provide a bit of barrel damage, but the spawns need to be immaculate and any difficult spawns will just result in no barrel damage again.
With all that, the best advice we have for swapping barrels: - Swap to Subtlety.
it's like gambling
pog
are we talking about aura farming
no he said he wanted plater not an aura, wtf is an aura weakaura lol
bad word like outlaw?
pineapple-pizza?
thats what she said
this makes sense lol
o* t *aw
tlw
outlaw should be called inlaw, because it is there but you didnt ask for it
Any knowers in chat, how big of a DPS loss is Iron Wire? I simmed patchwork 5min 5 target and it's simming 7% dps loss, but unsure if those are good settings
No clue about numbers wise but use dungeonslice
with tier set its probably quiet big as our tier works around it
but death in m+ = 100% dps loss
so if a silence helps that not happen
who knows, but the sim wont show that
is vanish worth holdin for the deathmark whe its up early early caue of fb 4piece
I think with 4pc we just treat vanish as a 3 minute cooldown
we dont take the neck from tazavesh gambit anymore ?
okey 
What WA pack are you all using for M+ and raids? Looking for clean one.
On fights like soulbinder, would crimson tempest be worth?

Or Liquid for raid
maybe if they live long on mythcvi but ima just use caustic fb
Crit anyone š
Anyone know if its possible to make a macro only use a pot if im in a dungeon/raid? i use a macro for Deathmark to pot but i keep using pots on rares/quest mobs :I
Fb better than DS on cleave heavy fights? Havent tried it yet
ive been runnin it and its been good for me
Seems to pump ST for sure
currently r2 on heroic not like it matters seems fine enough on heroic
will reeval on mythic if they live long
Have you been running FB on Soul Hunters too?
ya
!tricks
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
they are cheap enough
Oh, nice, I'm enjoying FB a lot atm
looks like deathmark way better on soul hunters
Ill try it now on heroic and play caustic FB
holy guac
i was just forcin it
some guy literally called out someone for being 3,3k hard stuck last season, 3rd day into the season
š
i was only 2.8k last season im a gamer
people always call others out for last season rio and only invite people with high last season rio
yesterday morning they also started with "note tierset" again, which is the same every season aswell
good thing i have 4pc
used catalyst on champion pieces because i wanted to slam in raid and im not gonna put gilded into hero pieces anyway
i'm glad i did because i've done like 20 keys and haven't gotten a single hero piece for tier slots

(kill me)
absolutely, but if i can avoid wasting them i might aswell š
i just spam them at this point lol
!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
FB gets crushed on aoe by ds
so i guess the reason forge sims better is because im not running the new 4pc right
anyone know if i should be using this macro for only cold blood or the wowhead macro that has cold blood and vanish? for kingsbane
better than what?
prism, sorry
Forge is the best trinket in the game bar none
Probably. Forge is VERY strong on 2 mins
Any peeps doing high level keys using iron wire over master assassin?
Though prism will still make you press more into execute. 4p or not
Maybe prism value for FB, 1:30? not sure how that sims
Itās a weaker forge but yeah
Its not though
Better than forge on 90s
Always iw for pugs. Trolling otherwise. 3% damage is not the difference to clear the dungeon
You obviously wont have anything for pull, but the on-use from prism is stronger than forge
Prism is kinda just goat
I need to get a tracker for it
So I can do dumb shit and go mental on execute lol
They are both on-uses⦠why is forge recommend as bis if prism is better?
You're just not up to date essentially
forge is consistent, much better value on pull (and you often tend to lust on pull). prism is better situationally, but with FB you wanna use it every 3 minutes so fight timer matters a lot for it.
the fight lasting 6min or 7min is gonna make a massive difference for a trinket like that
Goooot it. Iāve put rogue as my alt this season and havenāt gotten around to it yet so just a little out of the loop
but any fight with an amp, fights where the duration of the encounter works well for it, or just fights where the pull dps isnt all that important, prism is gonna be really damn good

Hello, I have a question Is it worth doing 2+2set or staying on the old 4set?
I have soo many warbound items in my bank for character types i dont play 
The world boss has dropped a warbound belt twice now 
Please

My alts, they desire gear
Be like me, dont get disapointed, dont do WB
I also hate leaving home
Streets is awfull...
I wanted the rep
Street seems like CoT, too much rp, too much walking, just too much ...
is it worth going 2/2 on terms of sets or rather wait for 4set S3?
thanks man š
whats our m+ trinkets!? got the araz boy and need a yuge second boi
how have i just seen this
how about you dont use that word in that way?

But if you prio gear you are automatically at like 2.6
Because you would be farming 10s

Do I need to be forcing my tank to grab a pack and pull into boss for deathmark throughput? I feel like I am
