i have a lot of different gear goals with dungeon slice vs ST

#

and even then its just "sim it, who cares"

#

guys for tyrannical key isnt better to go with a"hybrid build" for more single target instead of bleed?

royal lantern
#

hybrid is not more st

#

never was

lilac moon
#

what the flip

#

i though it was better in st

dry night
#

what the helly

main bridge
#

every key is both tyrannical and fortified

#

yes the hybrid build was more ST in S2 idk if its the same in S3 tho

main bridge
#

i think that change is actually years old

lilac moon

Sry another classic skill issue caterm

royal lantern
snow kindle
#

early season everyone is playing any build

snow kindle
#

Why would it not be

royal lantern
#

because it...isnt...?

snow kindle
#

youre taking twisted knife and dashing specifically for ST

royal lantern
#

like, it literally never was "more st and more aoe"

it was "different dmg spread"

royal lantern
#

aka also aoe

snow kindle
#

Dashing is useless in aoe

royal lantern
#

because you lose aoe dmg from other talents that are more bleed focused

#

and hybrid doesnt take TTK and dashing

snow kindle
#

the whole point of the Twisted/dashing is for ST

royal lantern
#

you talk about the shity "dont play this shity zeross brainlet build"

snow kindle
#

Which ones the hybrid

#

just twisted knife?

royal lantern
#

open wowhead

vivid seal
#

the old open wowhead

#

why you being annoying

royal lantern
#

because somebody asks a question

#

they answer wrong

#

and didnt even read the guide themself

#

why are you being annoying

main bridge
#

if say something wrong on the internet someone is gonna tell you

hexed root
#

we're rogues

#

annoying is in our nature

royal lantern
#

hybrid and bleed was literally never "one more st one more aoe"

it always was "one does more dmg trought bleeds, the other more trought spatter", ST dmg overall the same

#

and then there is the weird cleave build that 99,999% of people should never really touch, which is an entirely different thing

orchid pewter
#

The anti cleave propaganda is crazy btw

#

Was legit playable in 10s last season

royal lantern
royal lantern
#

literally the entire point of it is cleaving from a beefy target

what beefy targets exists in a 10

It was 10s

Any1 has tips for a good plater profile? having issues with seeing who has bleeds and who doesnt in big pulls šŸ˜„

The cleave build felt better in any key where anyone did no boss damage

hi guys, why bis trinkets on wowhead are different than bloodmallet ?

pseudo dust
#

Dumb question but does lethal mark double envenom damage ? Or only poison application ? Some tooltips are misleading on this spec so i was wondering

chrome blaze
shy creek
proper pulsar
#

21k crit without flask and 13k mastery its good enough to fatebound raid with 4 piece?

grim jay
#

which ends up being prism/araz and antenna in both cases

#

prism also has some fightlength-nuances, since its practically useless on pull and effectively a 3 min trinket with fatebound

coral ibex
#

what kind of question is this tho

#

like actually

#

its not like the spec literally stops functioning if you dont have a certain amount of crit

proper pulsar
#

bro i have like 17 different itens on my bag

#

im just asking

coral ibex
#

sim

#

sim

#

its always the answer

proper pulsar
#

yeah and on raidbots thats the best build

coral ibex
#

nobody knows what gear you have

proper pulsar
#

with thats stats

coral ibex
#

ok

proper pulsar
#

xD
]

coral ibex
#

so equip it

#

no?

proper pulsar
#

idk about the cap, thats the reason why i asked, you dont need to be gross

coral ibex
#

what cap

proper pulsar
#

stats cap

vocal seal
#

how do we sim for aoe / dungeons ?

5 targets patchwork 1min30 ?

coral ibex
#

you never said the word cap

#

until just now

#

you asked if you had "good stats"

#

which doesnt really mean anything

#

all stats are good for assa

proper pulsar
#

bro i play rogue has 4 months

#

im learning yet

#

i did just a question, idk who fucked your mind

but its all good

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

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

#

how do you cope at the soul hunters as assa? do you just pick one target and be on that, that fight is so hectic wtf

indigo thicket
#

what embellishments we looking like this season?

sharp mango
#

Hey so we`re supposed to use Netherprism every 3 min , so on every second deathmark as FB with new 4pc right ? does that mean we just dont have an on use for the opener ?

vague dragon
#

Is using tea every time with shiv necessary in single target ot just with second shiv ?

old terrace
#

wtf My mutilate has been replaced with ambush

main bridge
#

probably a good idea to read all of your talents, seriously

old terrace
#

its not that

#

It procced once but said I can't use ambush in combat

#

now I have two ambushes in my spellbook

main bridge
#

sounds like yet another bug

old terrace
#

and no mutiliate

main bridge
#

i think i've heard of this though, just talent out of Blindside and back into it

#

should come back

old terrace
#

didn't work :((

main bridge
#

you activated the talents after removing Blindside?

elfin fossil

I can't activate the talent if I can't use mutiliate

dope ty xd

#

but if the pull gets deep enough i even out

tight condor
#

hm really? Why that

main bridge
#

not totally sure

#

we vanish because of Edge Case but i'm not sure how or why that changes with 4pc

fallow canopy
#

If you macro to kb you'd use it on your 2:14 kb by mistake

#

*2:15

tight condor
#

Ah

fallow canopy
#

Instead of the 3min dm

hearty seal
#

looked at talents for a long time
I don't really understand
why tf is every side of the last third of the tree
a mix of AoE and ST talents
like, it's usually different for other classes, no? they have AoE stuff to one side, and ST stuff to the other, most of the time

tight condor
#

So just a timing issue

crystal kite

#

whispers plater had do i import it?

#

do i import it thru my plater ?

main bridge
#

yes

#

profiles -> import

#

eff me dude, I tried to work around it by making a macro to /cast Mutilate but it automatically selected the Ambush icon, and still says requires stealth.

runic hinge
old terrace
#

Yup

#

No worky

#

I tried removing the talent too

runic hinge
#

did you try exiting the game for 5 minutes

#

Thats my next step after I finish this delve in sub spec

have you tried stealthing and casting ambush?>

ambush works fine from stealth, and during my carnage window, but after that Im stuck spamming fan of knives lol

try playing on pc

lmao bro cant cast mut

elfin fossil

hearty seal
# static glacier if they let us take everything they'd have to aura nerf the spec

well, yes, of course
but I just don't get the design intent there
doomblade is a solely ST talent that leads into both talents that are great in AoE (and only one is decent in ST), which lead to required AoE talents also
dashing scoundrel is a solely ST talent that leads directly into Poison Bomb, an AoE talent
and there's arterial precision too, which you can't get without picking up at least one ST talent
so all three branches of the tree have AoE and ST talents mixed in

static glacier
#

like stealth mechanics, deathstalker mark

hearty seal
#

ok yeah fair point

static glacier
#

its just dogshit frustration at worst and at best you feel normal

hearty seal
#

DSM feels like it was designed without thinking about anything but target dummies, like there's so many edge cases with that shit

static glacier
#

I hope they reconsider deathstalker atleast for midnight

#

heck even fatebound

elfin fossil
#

Make it a personal buff pls

static glacier
#

why the fuck did they bake in anti-funnel

#

what other class has such dogshit

#

in their tree

#

im not talking tuning btw

#

just mechanically how the talents work is dogshit

hearty seal
#

I'm not sure anyone else has a hero talent tree that says "you lose that debuff on the target, you lose 80% of your hero talents"

hearty seal
#

you keep the defensives

#

that's it

#

what can be improved running Hybrid build

hearty seal
#

it's very bleed-friendly

static glacier
#

igni has the truth of it

hearty seal
#

I figure the only dungeons where you switch off bleed are like
both Tazavesh wings

jaunty sky
#

beaten by ret Hollow

hearty seal
#

otherwise it's all bleed season for a long, long time

jaunty sky
#

tavazesh works on bleed tbh

#

streets kinda sucks

#

but still doable

hearty seal
#

streets has so few packs where bleed is good, I'd probably run cleave there

#

like the first room, and the packs after the second boss

#

that's about it

#

though mark management is a fucking pain then

jaunty sky
#

yeah the real play would be to go sub

static glacier

could be better, but its somewhat interesting and not too obstructing

tough gorge
#

If it's doing less dmg than clear the witness you must be doing something wrong.

static glacier
hearty seal
#

most of the dungeon is small pulls or bosses

static glacier
#

I just dont understand why they engineer so much friction for rogue

hearty seal
#

like after you're done with murlocs, you're basically done with pulls of more than 6-8 targets

golden loom
#

very good for whole first section, can pull mobs onto dragon boss and it does its job int he end

hearty seal
#

I feel like boss damage is more important in gambit

real pike
#

we don't do the dry shiv in Fatebound right? or do we?

hearty seal
#

as long as you can do some basic AoE

tough gorge
#

Once I get 4p, ima test ST fatebound but remove vicious venom for CT. I think it has potential.

stone eagle
golden loom
#

I mean you do insane boss dam on dragon as bleed

real pike
stone eagle
#

afaik is saving your shivs to KB window

hearty seal
golden loom
#

you pull a pack onto boss

#

and bleed does its thing

hearty seal
#

I'll suggest this to my tank next time

golden loom
#

the pack infront of the boss is like basically made to be pulled with the boss

jaunty sky
#

you can also just drag the big guys around in the murloc section

golden loom
#

and the murloc section alone makes bleed 1000% the play

#

like playing that as anything else sounds beyond aids

jaunty sky
#

i play hybrid and send cds on a 180mil hp target(+10 btw)

hearty seal
#

well, I'll have to compare, I've only run gambit like three times

jaunty sky
#

even with bleed these murlocs fall over way too quickly

old lily
old terrace
#

I relogged, hope I get mutilate back lol

old lily
#

to my knowledge i only had my mark on the boss the entire fight, so i don't kno why any of the damage i did to the adds didn't get "transferred" to the main target via SF

jaunty sky
#

yeah you def wanna have mark for the add phase big guy

old lily
#

i probably am unaware exactly how to apply said mark, like i only used DN envenom on the boss

jaunty sky
#

you wanna have DN up when u go to adds

#

send the DN envenom on the big guy

golden loom
#

its soulbinder

#

u dont swap from boss

jaunty sky
#

wait i thought it was king

#

lmao

old lily
#

does the mark that SF redirects damage to disappear after some time?

old terrace
#

relogging fixed it! šŸ˜„ I am now a complete sin rogue againb

jaunty sky
#

i mean if DM isnt up on the boss while the adds are out

#

you dont do SF dmg

hooooly shit I'm simming 3.5m DPS on Deathstalker and 4m on Fatebound...I did not realise the gap was that big

hearty seal
#

also was thinking about next week
is it worth to pump gilded into second crafted item (bracers most likely, so shit slot) for 720, or settle for 704 and instead pump whatever mythic items you get?

jaunty sky
#

depends on the mythic item i guess

old lily
real pike
real pike
#

it's unfortunate

jaunty sky
#

bc you consume 3 marks and then u reapply with DN

hearty seal
#

tbh this season there's no real option for crafted

sharp mango
#

id also say mythic items , just craft wrists or something with runed crest from campaign

iron ivy
#

Hi, question about eco dome second boss. My deathstalkers mark disappeared due to the "remounting" of the boss, anyone know a good workaround (other than vanishing and reapplying the mark)?

vague dagger
#

first time playing fatebound today, anything specfic to keep in mind or just play normal rota?

iron ivy
#

Or do we just accept it and move on? :p

royal lantern
jaunty sky
hearty seal
#

crafted belt is only better than delve belt as 720
crafted boots even at 720 are worse than champ cloak cantrip boots (and I have a pair)
so wrists it is

guys should I be activating Fateful Ending consistently? especially on opener? first time playing Fatebound

Hey guys! In like a big pack lets say 10 mobs, how many would you rupture? Like 2x max rupture or more?

real pike
#

I'm sure this is also somewhere on the guide, but I can't find it - on Fatebound should I send first shiv before KB or for the last 16 seconds?

#

instinct tells me it doesn't really matter but I'm an idiot

Should i use Internal bleeding instead of Splatter in Taz Street ? pulls arent really big

#

am i turbo dumb for trying to spread ruptures to all the mobs that have garrote in my opener? i feel like im doing too much in the opener and not getting into cooldowns fast enough

that will get those two bleeds on enough mobs

#

then put your CT up and start envenoming

subtle tundra
#

sub rogue looks so op... assa loser spec once again

reef timber
#

if we have the ability to spread more ruptures during our stealth window before DM, why would we not? in my smoothie brain, it would be doing more damage during my DM/Shiv window. Are we just purely rupturing for SoB only?

old lily
#

yea i had 4 seconds where i got a DN proc 2:14-2:18 where it obviously didn't do anything

subtle tundra
old lily
#

still when i compare the damage to the top HC rogue log the other rogue in that timeframe got 33m when mine hit for 6, or is that just a difference in tier set maybe?

subtle tundra
#

caustic is such an insanely overtuned tool that you just want to get into envenoming

jaunty sky
reef timber
#

i guess i’m dumb

old lily
#

probably me not knowing how to read logs properly, but it seems like the mark was only missing for 8 seconds (obviously a lot considering it's a 30-ish second timeframe

subtle tundra
#

the minimum is 5 ruptures, you usually do more on bleed

jaunty sky
#

on my 4min normal kill i had more total SF dmg than you

hoary scroll

do i use shiv now at 1 stack as assa rog deathstalker?

the ones that drop shields?

  • Baseline 3+ targets, -1 if talented into momentum of despair and thrown precision, +1 if talented into vicious venoms, +1 if talented into blindside. (Generally 5 with raid build, 3 with Bleed m+, 2 with Hybrid m+)

So the trinkets for fatebound and deathstalker would probably be different due to the 1:30 vs 2m cooldowns correct?

you can just use a 90s trinket on deathstalker

As ds. Signet is simming higher than lily for instance.

1 person cant carry a raid

slim hamlet

Its quite rare u can really see the difference. Earlier one of the Echo mages blinked right inbetween adds and black hole of 4th boss to use their knockback and blinked back out, to save the pull after a missed CC. That is an obvious point where aint no way some wr1000 does that

raw marlin

exactly so my question is, how do you notice it

proven willow
#

you will notice the player diff instantly its not that hard

slim hamlet
#

I mean u can notice it by the date of kill xdx

proven willow
#

they will make the least mistakes, be the most prepared coming in, and will answer the questions the raid has because they dont have the same xp of raiding

plate dps is a good example

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

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

the diff between top 2-3 and top 10 is massive

One of the differences is also just simple being able to raid 16 hours a day without going insane

there is a reason a ton of them move to guilds like instant dollars or similar that dont raid every hour of the day

BiS lists are not helpful towards gearing yourself. In order for BiS items to truly be BiS, all items in the list have to be obtained at that level exactly, or else it doesn't make sense. Missing a socket for example would shift your stats slightly. On top of this, all stats being good on Assassination means there are currently over 500 "BiS" combinations that are within margin of error. You should always compare your gear through top gear or droptimizer instead.

Pre-raid or Pre-season BiS from world content is especially not helpful, and we do not maintain any lists of these types. These are absolute meaningless bait for gear that you will be replacing the moment the season comes out. Use Top Gear/Droptimizer to compare against your character.

Fan of Knives as a generator to replace ambush/mutilate:

  • Baseline 3+ targets, -1 if talented into momentum of despair and thrown precision, +1 if talented into vicious venoms, +1 if talented into blindside. (Generally 5 with raid build, 3 with Bleed m+, 2 with Hybrid m+)
    Fan of Knives with Clear the Witnesses Up:
  • Baseline 2+ targets, -1 if lingering darkness is up or you aren't talented into vicious venoms. With Vicious Venoms casting during lingering darkness is dps neutral.

mash garrote and rupture on mouseover is really the only way

you can set focus and have focus garrote, focus rupture for a target you want them on besides your main target

I have a stupid questioin for fatebound. I havent played it the whole expansion so bare with me. Is there any tracking done when it comes to the tails/heads flips? Or do you just do your opener where you guarantee the max flips and then just vibe without caring?

Fok Conditions Post-Buff
Fan of Knives as a generator to replace ambush/mutilate:

  • Baseline 3+ targets, -1 if talented into momentum of despair and thrown precision, +1 if talented into vicious venoms, +1 if talented into blindside. (Generally 5 with raid build, 3 with Bleed m+, 2 with Hybrid m+)
    Fan of Knives with Clear the Witnesses Up:
  • Baseline 2+ targets, -1 if lingering darkness is up or you aren't talented into vicious venoms. With Vicious Venoms casting during lingering darkness is dps neutral.
    Fan of Knives with Darkest Night Up:
  • Only on 2+ targets, or without Vicious Venoms talented. This is also a very very minor optimization

The most important to remember is the generator rules, clear the witnesses and darkest night optimizations can be effectively ignored as they are not meaningful DPS improvements

Thanks. Next stupid question. Do you finish on 5+ or 6+ as fatebound. Im asking because once upon a time the general rule was finish at max or max-1 cp but with Deathstalker's mark it was 5+ so is Fatebound also 5+ due to the envenom thing in the talent tree. I didn't see anything about fatebound CP finishers in the guide so sorry if I missed it.

Anything 5+ as that’ll flip a coin

#

Ok so at 5 you don't generate more under any scenario right? You just finish at 5?

Fatebound is a lot more passive than DS, less to worry about

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.

DS was pretty passive to begin with lol

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
