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.
Your offpiece is the one that doesn’t complete ur 4p
Well yeah this early on, barely anyone has the luxury to "pick" their 4p.
I did sim and the results are i think off.
Myth track sac and crystal sim lower than a myth track chest? Should i be comparing them to max level upgrades?
Chest is alot of stat
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/T3YAnVRXDkbtPf4m?fight=last can someone help me about this? feeling my ST extremely low in m+
oh I see. I was always told trinket = big dmg right after weapon
sac isnt even that crazy
I wish they could just tell us when the Midnight reveal is... so I can tune in for that.
didn't consider chest to be that crucial
chest and legs are usually better investments than trinkets unless the trinket is insanely overtuned
bc of the stat allocation
That is where most of your organs are!
literally 95% of your organs are in these parts of your body!
busted trinkets are outliers
and honestly neither sac or crystal are busted
I'd prob take hero soulhunter shoes over either of them...
ngl
i see ppl having 25m+ damage on a big pull (flood first pull as e.x) i only get to like 14m. but i dont have any set or trinket that is good. does those things really make the diff or over 10m more damage in a pull?
yes tier and good trinkets are massive
like literally double my damage massive?
if you dont have an on use trinket its not gonna help
You could be making mistakes also
well, if you have a good trinket that means high amount of stats
and high amount of stats on big enemy counts translate into big numbers
yea theres probably some skill issue, are you potting, are you getting good crit luck
i am probably but i cant see how many i do without having the same gear as others bc everyone has set and i dont
Is there a poison better in mm+ or raid to apply to weapon?
not potting either
Yes you can - by logging your keys
but i dont know how much damage im supposed to do
ive done 25m+ on that first flood pull, but im potting and i have tier
or do u mean rotation compare
with tierset DS at the kingsbane you send the 1 shiv at 11 seconds kingsbane remaining right
m+ tends to favor mindnumbing for the non-lethal, Raids Atrophic instead
do u maybe know how much u did before set
I’m talking about rotation mistakes and such. Not using potion is a big mistake also
much
well i was doing 15m+ in aoe pulls last season
!weakaura
so probably around there

pot and shit does alot
the number goes higher but the experience is the same
legit
you are energy starved
Most likely a dumb question, is there a macro for Blindside? So if it's active, I can cast Ambush but if not, I cast Mut?
ye
no
its just a heal check
ambush replaces mutilate
and somewhat dps to kill down adds
you cannot cast mutilate with a blindside proc
like your mutilate button literally becomes ambush
no macro required
very few pure st scenarios in keys
I guess second boss priory is one? end that at like 2.5m is ok ig
!fok
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
not sure what i think about the 4 set
isnt that mega shit
reducing my cds and off synch my trinket
you get 90sec trinkets
lily or prism
cus you are a 90sec spec with fatebount tier 
Would you say there’s a big diff between 2 and 4set?
will miss this badboy
i mean, you play ritual forge on the raid fightrs where you play DS
Currently have 2set but my gears not amazing, 675 secondary weap and not a lot of optimized stuff
Would love some guidance if anyone has any..
I cant for the life of me decide what to pick
tier
Between Shoulders, Sac and Forge
Sim or take shoulders
ya'll crafting the bracers as 2nd craft?(1st was wep)
i will yeah
bet
Doesnt matter you can wear all 5.
Hi, I can not decide on what to take here for sin, would love anyone's advice on what would be best.
since i hate raiding netherprism
our off-piece is obviously chest because its the deepest into the raid 
my gear is turbo ass but at least i got the boots - netherprism left and then i finally never ever have to see that raid again
tauren rogue 
TITLE INC 
hmm
Seriously though
big crest invest

either that or i take mythic chest for 4 weeks later when i get more cata charges 
anyone have any idea how upgrading a crafted piece is a dps loss? currently equipped at 681
@midnight mist

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
are you using droptimizer
noob
you should use top gear to compare
🙁
oh, ok. ya was using droptimizer
from hardmode ?
no thats form loomidude bozo
knowing my luck we gonna gte 2 to drop
Probably just Prism right? Still don't have 4pc, sad, the boots are nice but also will be replaced by heroic track special raid boots I'm guessing.
while im the only yellow
dw still not 1 single thing i give a fuck about lol
if they put midnight at start then everyone just leaves
the crit one
!stats
crit enchant
There are no "recommended stat levels" or "breakpoint of X stat" or "required" amount of any stats. This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec. If you're looking for a quick recommendation: Agi >> Crit = Mastery >= Haste > VersatilityIt's always more accurate to simulate your own character, as stat procs from trinkets/enchants can often de-value their stat relative to others. Stats are not a rigid construct, their values change constantly in relation to each other depending on your character.
- Signet of the Priory will require you have Mastery as your highest RATING (the actual number, not the %). Having Crit and Mastery close to one another will cause procs from Flask or Seaforium Pacemaker to cause your Signet to give you Crit. This is generally worse and will cause Signet to sim poorly.
- Compared to each other, Deathstalker wants more Mastery/Haste than Fatebound, and Fatebound wants more Crit than Deathstalker
- Always Always ALWAYS sim yourself through Top Gear and Droptimizer for accurate results
you didnt watch whyspir video?
hmm or maybe not, sims showing 723 crit/mast boots like 30k ahead of 710 interloper's boots, interesting
nope

waiting for swifty to make rogue guide
not watching whyspur videos in smh my head
alr
Why? You have a 2 hour long video of everything assa
!shiv
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
just dont shiv
In m+?
raid.
where do we get the quest for the 707 crest
what belt disc buff are using lightning bolt or critical chains?
Rules stay the same pretty much shiv after your first one ends in dm
trinket question, i have 2 set and the following trinkets, Lily of the eternal Weave, Sacbrood and Netherprism. Which combo would be considered best for raid?
Guide says shiv after first one ends in opener yeah
y prolly might do that too
ig im misunderstanding it

shiv good button in m+
shiv boost very good
deathstalker talents good
boosting them also good
it all makes ense
no, please elaborate more
when number bigger, it hurts enemy more
or so they say
that's a gd lie!
racials dont matter for dmg
maghar orc says something else
maghar - most dps
nelf - free "vanish"
dwarf - 1 extra cloak
idk man, i got my 98-100 this week and i dont play a shity orc or elf 
ok lil bro
but you got like
actual raiders in your raid
we are 2/8 now
time to spend
1h15 on loomithar

what
i thought you were pumper
wait
no thats nooj i guess
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i mean, im probably better then a chunk of people, but we are also just doing 5 1/2 hours a week,

jesus the amount of hp
we extended to a
SEAL 6 tuesday raid
last season
we did it for gally
this tier we do it for 3/8
which is giga tbh
actually improving
I don’t get it just use some bug spray
well

its optional
but 20 people signed up
we get potentially
free tier myth
or maybe astral antenna
its optional, and if you dont come you are not in next week because "we now dont wanna swap the team sorry" and also dont get loot anymore

i love "optional" raids
only first week
our added raid day this tier provided 2 mythic antenna 
this is a SEAL 6 first week raid
only first week of a raid tier
then we go back to 3 raid days
wed/sun/mon
same
guys quick question
on prison first boss taza
you let him walk into you with cloak on and its good?
you can literally cloak the prison so it doesnt happen in the first place
yeah so you cloak when he casts it on you
Wait really?
pre cloak the cast right?
yeah thats what i said
hello all, is it bad spreading of dmg abilities for ARA +7?
should i have more in something and less in other
Caustic spatter should probably be higher but if you want in depth analysis you should log your keys
part of the pipeline
in a tier or two youre gonna be 4 day guild
nah
when you guys are doing the giga pulls in M+, do you spend all of IC throwing out ruptures? Or get into Spatters quicker
thats what they always think
zac got 2 charges this week
i have a catalyst charge
do i go for trinket considering i have 665 trinkets or go tier

rip no 10 vault
for 2 piece and save cata for 4 piece
that could have been myth wep
if I don't have raidbots premium do I have to droptimize each individual dungeon?
ambush gar rup rup gar gar CT mut DM shiv. By the time I finish, IC is almost out but I have my 5 ruptures out for scent
nvm i kinda just answered my own question
are you guys doing heroic wrists this week or gilded wrists?
that heavy depeends on your vault
is maintaining 5 ruptures the most point of rupture? besides energy. the CT and Spatter doing most of the damage in huge pulls?
5 ruptures is for max stacks of scent of blood
20% extra agility
4% per rupture
Ye, that does seem good
My M+ damage in 10s is fine, usually 5mil overall...but I feel like its pretty low for where Assa should be
its like having the bonus agi from a trinket but it wont expire
are you shivving enough
shiv is huge for assa aoe as bleed
Sometimes you have to pay attention to making sure the ruptures are going on the big mobs and not all on shitter mobs. Else you’re 1/4 of the way in CDs and you are suddenly down to 1 stack of scent
assuming you are playing bleed
I think so, we still save two shivs for DM right?
Ya I mostly use the dry shivs when I CT

yea he's got a lot more gear and probably a better comp and his tank pulls around cd's
and he's a better player
lies

casual is in the name
better than me at least
casual is built different
so, I need some insight real quick, Im wanting to craft the dagger, is the gilded crest the only other optional regeant, aside from missive and embellishment ?
and they pull everything with funnel
and spark obv
make sure its the agility dagger
and not the int one
like makes huge difference if i pull 4-5 addds in boss finish that on 6-7 mill
or doing 2.5 mill single
gotcha! thanks a bunch!
yea good tanks will pull trash into bosses for funnel specs
instantly doing double dps
I was cruising at 8 on a 10 floodgate before the healer and tank bricked it 😔
guys thoughts on Deathstalker vs Fatebound on Dimensius without 4pc?
watafakk
for damage purposes :p I like DS
I ran death stalker and yea fatebound is the way now
Why is my tails damage so low?
4pc?
4pc?
i have
only now, it feels like FB = DS since u still just have to finish your CDs
2 piece
is normal only
but im still not even half way into my cds
Hello i m not talented to this, as assa rogue what poisons should i use ?
!poison
You should always be using poisons you talent into, which means the following:
Lethals:
- Deadly always + Amplifying if you're talented into it with DTB, Instant only as a final option
Non-Lethals: - Atrophic/Numbing, crippling if you're talented into DTB
Wound poison damage in PvE is atrocious and should never be used
looks weird
fair
yeah I just tried DS out of curiosity and it's just not as good
and I don't even have high crit
any void elf rogues in here? is it fun or any good uses of the teleport?
its better for mythic + and giga cleave for sure
but i dont wanna mess with lost marks and traget swap
Huh? Do they have teleport?🤣
Wow, so DH get a midrange spec but rogue doesnt
yes?
yeah I thought maybe because of the adds in p1 and intermission on dimensius DS might do some work
Is it better than shadowstep
well you still have shadowstep its like a beam thing you then teleport too
like lee sin lol
Hahahaha didnt even know that
wtf is "mid range" though
Evoker
whisp, where are the new dh spec sims
Man where is my ethereal allied race i got scammed
Can someone help identify the mistakes on this floodgate first pull ? I'm not doing as much damage as I'd like
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/XFwC81MVKYk3xQWc?fight=1&type=casts&source=5&view=timeline
is having 2 crafted daggers bad? I crafted a 702 dagger last week with ascension and I can craft a 720 piece this week. Guide says to go for wrists next but my sims are two daggers?
Why is my tails damage so low and how can i improve it?https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/2jLakgYZ9mGzqFNv?fight=12&type=damage-done&source=11
recraft ur dagger to 720
from ffxiv
smh giving DH a brez
okay ty guys
i dont play that furry game
i was just saying its literally rdm lol
That depends on your goals this season. If you only play the first few weeks 2nd dagger can be worth it if you don't get myth weapon from your vault but the goal is to have your crafter dagger go off hand and replace by a myth weapon on the main hand
but wow is the furry one?
wow is way more furry just fyi
people play worgen?
druid exists

gonna fish for vault and spam as many 10s as I can. ty though sounds like I should upgrade my current and get some wrists
moo
tauren sucks though
you can't milk those
or can you?
My first m+ season, finally got 2000 io, I'm so happy 😄
Also that is one dagger and the big % increase one is stiletto, which sims that high because Droptimizer ignores embellishment limits
we get spark off rip or gated behind anything?
Weekly box like every week
Np
Whyispyr please make me see the error of my ways 🙏

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/XFwC81MVKYk3xQWc?fight=1&type=casts&source=5&view=timeline
Ye I definitely haven't done that a dozen times already
I don't rank 3 on champion gear that I'm gonna replace soon anyway
!gear
Do I need to track coins or anything with fatebound or is it kind of just a let them fall as they will
Don't do me like that bro, we go way back from season 1 from the outlaw discord even though you have forgotten me
Not having an on use trinket doesnt help opening damage
So just get gear ?
true evil is there's no kick in there
I mean first pulls arent reflective of the entire key
The first pull usually dictates the main output though. Pull 30 mil on the first pull and your damage will be higher throughout
Unless you crap out on the other pulls
Pretty sure Whyspir told me it was fine to shiv before dm
how did u only use cloak twice
For FB, the 45sec KB is only used with one shiv charge right?
At 8 seconds remaining I think
yes
Thats what I figured, ty
yes
Does council's guile stack?
is our OH dps still more or less useless, in terms of what to upgrade?
Yes OH is the last priority and your sims should reflect that
Yeah looks like either prism or empowering crystal I guess
Could grab belt as well but that’s pretty long term
I have failed us
hello 🙂 any suggest?
!fuu

Lily
I suggest you install English language client 
But reshii wraps boots tho
take lilly
Lirio
not even close
oh really?
I simulated and recommended the boots that give 40% more proc to the cloak, but I feel that the trinket is super BiS
I would pref BiS too
Question on cleave fights, I feel like my dps should be higher but it looks like ST dps. I"m also new to sin so do we caustic or do we swap targets and add garrote and stuff?
Both
!guide
Your main energy in aoe comes from rupture

Method: https://www.method.gg/guides/assassination-rogue
So that should be your spread
Outlaw is cooked
After that you’re envenoming for caustic
I am not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but sometimes my CDs have a weird desync as fatebound
The 4pc is bugged
Wait you crafted a 702 dagger? Do you have a myth track dagger? If not you might want to consider recrafting the dagger to 720 😅😅😅
anything I can do to work around it?
whispyr, do u mind to help me with this log? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/cBFJgTLnDy3kCXzd?fight=last&type=damage-done
it is indeed
does auto tank md not work for u guys anymore?
feeling my overall low asf
no, I have to set a focus and use a focus macro
That is one of the best vaults i've ever seen
Holy shiy
Do you mean this one? Cause it works for me
!tott
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
You guys think I replace one of the rings or just go with literally the hero version of my champion chest?
rare jpc appears
Show me ur vault @balmy condor
Haven’t opened
That ring isn’t ideal, would probably want to sim it and see
Also, is mastery capped at some point or should I even it out with some crit?

Uhhh Unyielding Netherprism in vault - Listed as S on guide but not BiS. Grab it over tier?
I played my rogue for the first night.. i am impressed with the defensive abilities and the game play overall

check into some more crit options, might be able to optimize it a bit further if you want
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/4fEm3C524yjS8djryTQkh3
ohhh i must be missin somethin there tytyt
my gems never seem to change around, think it's relevant to just gem full crit/mast even though sim isnt saying anything?
Any time
not sure how much crit you have on gear though, I don't have a ton and antenna gave me a bunch to swap out my crit ring for vers/mastery and instead send crit gems
i want your trinkets hahah
ok yeah still doesnt work idk loll
got antenna today from vault after running a 691 warpstrike all week
its like im missing whatever button its clicking or something
Did you download the weakaura
Anything on this? I do fatebound for ST Raid but otherwise Deathstalker
thats around the amount when it wanted more mastery/vers. When I dropped the crit ring back down to around 12k it wanted full crit enchants and gems even with antenna
you need the weakaura that is linked in the command
!tott
Yeah idk it’s just weakaura + macro
ya i have it
are you sure you're talented into tricks
yea, i dont think I've had a sim CHANGE existing gems
just different if I unsocket
Smart tricks WA on tank, this require the following macro:
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
do u have the setting ticked that lets that happen?
what setting? I have 13 gems selected
omfg
u click that and ur combinations will explode
yea immediately lmfao
Yeah and with 13 gems selected, the page is probably going to lag to shit
I would uncheck the box, then uncheck the gems
Then recheck the box
It’s also not that helpful
there we go
You end up with like 1200 combinations in high precision and all of them are equal
It’s pretty rough
my sims want me to replace the diamond all the time
guys i had so'leahs, pacemaker, and araz in my vault, and the plexus ring, i still took tier tho since i dont even have 2pc yet
Are you using the only max color box
so'leahs lame doodoo anyways
If you don’t check the max color box, it’ll only fill with single colors
Damn, really the ring is pushing I wanna say 7k ahead in the sims running a sim to see if I cata the hero chest if it would be better
i got the hero ring with crit and gloves in vault
I wasn't, though I figure its probably super small anyway since it should be checking the combinations and it doesn't really matter
either i go ring and or risk not getting 4 set
or i just make 4 set rn
literally what i didnt want
It doesn’t check the combinations without that box
u not likely to be given a curio to reach 4p?
In order to save processing power it checks the same gem in every slot
I’m sorry to hear that
i could try and buy one
i'd suggest playing a different videogame
Pugging is hard
i just work in EMS i got like super shit times for raiding
pugging is legit horrible, I'm sorry
Godspeed
You'll get 4 set eventually 100% of the time tho
if ur not making the clanker work hard, what are you even doing
makes sense from a saving processing stance, though kinda goes against principal of least surprise. Wasn't aware of it skipping over combinations like that
Yeah simming gems is a mess
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/iCERNWN281DsEPDSPjevba well it changed some gems, not all, and wants to get rid of the diamond
But if you had every person simming like 8 gems and all combos would need to be checked
Raidbots would actually grind to a halt
Like you would just be stuck with a queue of sims that take literally hours
Yeah this a good example of that
where is this setting?
No max color so it’s always the same thing
4.5m at 703 wtf
i see it
Bro is geared
Oh yeah sure
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jQN3NeRBLH8cZDwQuecdtc
yay, it gained 11k dps
link?
gross
Funnel
we've had basically 0 zenith drops
Zenith is fake
yep same here
our entire normal and heroic run was venerated besides a couple drops. I luckily got the one zenith we saw and a normal curio
i got the one normal zenith that dropped since i got hero tier in vault for 2p
literally 0 zenith in heroic tho
I was unlucky and didn't have tier in my vault last week
hope we get better luck this week
man this is annoying
I guess I take the netherprism and hope I get some tier in vault next week lol
our warriors are dooming so hard
I REALLY just need to replace my stinky veteran dagger shit hurts my soul T_T already crafted my big boy dagger
its rough
lets see ittt
your offhand can and should be the last thing you upgrade
a good day in my book
dont worry about your offhand
for every warrior crying a puppy smiles
lost netherprism to ret :3
belt is on electric current, neck is unfortunate, cloak gem is on mastery. for fatebound you are very low crit
not even good for them
what should belt be on? I've just been following my sims
holy fuck
I’m worried about when we get to hold hands
crit chain will almost certainly sim higher if i had to guess
from 1 to 10,10 being omegahyped for midnight where do you stand after the reveal?
I haven’t seen anything for rogue
lul guess I'll go get it
meant purely for the cinematic
we showed up twice (2 times!) in the gameplay trailer
that's more than in patch notes
also new allied race
yo why i saw streamer using shiv at darkest night a lot of time its okay to do it ?
surely this means
I hope they release some of the talent changes. This NDA is fing killing me
paladin expansion
we all just cope
its void vs light
light wins
airgo paladins
They're removing outlaw and making it a light based tank spec..
can we still unlock belt powers? lmfao
the another biss craft items is the off hand dagger right?
a W in my book 🤝
cursed has avoidance on it. this is a bait, right?
dont craft an OH.
what should i crafy instead another dag?
Bracer
aight
MH into boots/wrists/belt for 2nd embelishment
thanks
prob not boots bc of cloak embelli
yea i alreadyy have boottts the buff cloak
well well look who's back
its called Rune-Branded Armbands?
Sims are in and they're saying I am Haste starved I think if I grab myself the chest I need to go and farm Halls for Signet of the False Accuser
yes
thanks
Do you think they're gonna change deathstalker to not require stealth to apply ?
holy fuck this 4pc bug
pacemaker or shoulders.. im torn
maybe its sub all the way
still cranking almost 15m later
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/7ySGXLTAqtag9GqBp8mtVt any advice on simming gems effectively? it is going up
and the emb one? @hexed root
writhing armor band
for ascendance on the dagger
aight
@balmy condor super neat about the weapon enchant change, how have you been liking council's guile?
i don't raid, so i'd take pacemaker personally
!gear
Spews
https://www.wowhead.com/news/players-will-save-thousands-of-gold-in-midnight-with-free-transmogging-378217 actually pog
i think they saw the reddit post
yea except they're gonna spend all those thousands on housing items instead
Do i take sacbrood or gloves to catalyse?
Tokens
Sims loading now 😄
kinda torn on what to grab, all the sims say the trinket. I've already got 4 piece but not taking the legs to cata is rough
more wondering if Sacbrood will be a BIS trinket or replaced by heroic raid ones
Or tier if you get 2 or 4pc out it...
does anyone use stonebound artistry lately
Sacbrood isn't even on the list is it?
sims good for me
I don't track weapon enchants so I don't notice them really
yeah that's fine too
secondary enchants in general are better
At least lorthemar didn't die today lol
congratulations!
Its on A tier but no explaination

Sac brood sorry, Unsure if i should take it over myth track tier in vault
Only have new 2pc and nothing else and I died on 3rd boss
thats fair
this is why gem simming is bunk btw https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/w8ZHyPy8jsLjmczRKXfoBD
yes.
20 minutes of simming for 0.2% margin of error gain
its fine, just passive agi and some damage, nothing crazy
same
I got fkin put in prison on soulbinder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my sim is telling me to keep 2x2 instead of upgrading the new full 4pc? could someone look at my sim make sure i did this right? also my peices from last tier are like 655 and the new ones are like 680+ seems crazy
Send the link
cant check my vault yet.... still working. 
i feel like i'm doing significantly less damage today in keys, and I've gained 5 iL, 4 set, and a straight trinket upgrade in pacemaker. wtf is going on
Is netherprism always worth picking up? It's in vault
its technically bis no? besides lily from ecodome
you're simming higher because of that neck piece D: I've been farming that pos forever ;_;
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/v5vrVcoGGGsH33faZ3juu2 i have shoulders i can catalyze and a chest in the GV and tier legs in my inventory that should make 4
Is there a world in which I don’t take a myth track Lily from vault
Yes prism good
Going into a pack and popping an 18 stack
= pack is melting
What boss drops prism
id take mythic track tier over mythic sac
fract
but do we want prism or do we want the forge thingy in the end?
heroic antenna better than mythic trac sac
When I select 4 set it says you don't have enough items, weird. Let me have a look.
I just want idk
Good stuff
Wow please bless my vault
Good mythic trinkets, tierset, maybe some powerful jewellery,
Anything
prism is real good on MM, not sure about BM
Tbh
I only play BM rn
If I get 4set maybe marks
But the variance is fucking sickening
Yea I have 671 shoulders I can catalyze in inventory
do we get second spark this week or next
can get it today
tyty
Yeah, I ain't sure why its being weird unless I'm missing something obvious.
Anyway imma sleep now
GL on vaults everyone
Debating weather to open it before my workout or after tmrrw morning
But it ain't generating a combo with 4 set but I don't know why
Alright I’ll prob just take the 4 set anyway it’s gotta be the best option
I have guildies still running a key
Yeah, sorry about that, I can't work it out
Got that midraid when I pressed cds, close game close battlenet and update both
there is an update
ohhhhh
One Question Guys. How much ST ~dps you do in M+ (10-12) on bosses (without adds). My ST feels so weak 😄
Acc before I sleep
Shoutout to the ppl in my guild that have been on a hard mode taz run for 5 hours

I started a raid and they were on hook tail
Finished 3 or so hours later
They were still on hook tail
Progging
we decided we didn't even want to try it until we had 3 dps with 4pc for that fight
which trinket? cursed stone idol is simming better, but idk if that's some weird sim shit or real
Nah, think its next week
If we want to take Iron Wire for keys, what should we drop? Or is doing that such a nerf to dps that it shouldn't even be considered. I PuG keys mostly so bringing more ways to stop casts helps
do i even bother picking anything here on my 3rd rogue
i havent picked from pre-season vault
Where do you need spread interrupts that badly?
Its even more awkward to take ironwire this season
Im lacking at Assa. Im on 697 doing 4,5 Mil average at keys. Feels Like Not the Full Potential. Any Tipps ?
Cause you for sure are never dropping 2 shiv charges or MA
My point, such a thing seemed like insanity
Idk either, I just spread my bleeds and vibe
in PuGs, you'd be surprised
That's more on them, not solely you
Its maybe bonespike but that also makes the playing experience worse
I'm aware, but a failed key looks bad to future groups regardless
In Single im around 2,5 mil which feels Like nothing (just Burst is 3,5)
But if its too much dps, I'd rather pump first
I just got a ton of value out of Iron Wire last season but it was easier to take
Hi, new to assassination. Would this damage breakdown be correct or am I doing something wrong? Saw someone else have Caustic Spatter as top overall
But when I die to a boss mechanic and I'm laying on the floor, I like to see I'm still doing damage with that spike
True its legit infinite damage

Would be interesting too. Whats the Right breakdown
You hold vanish for your 3m DM right? Not hold 1.5m DM until Vanish is ready?
that would be dumb
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ePpPmz9U88jTF41HqwXKBV wants me to go back to my 684 neck lolol
i just pugged it for the chance of hero prism
actual hell in there
we macro lily with dm correct?
Anyone already talked about the bugfix?
Yep, lily with deathmark. Prism with vanish for fatebound (if you get it sometime)
sweet preciate it!
sac weird for sims? had 691 delve trink "void-touched fragment" simming a bit higher
sac was also higher ilvl.. was weird
but maybe bc main stat?
probably a minor nuance difference but is there a compelling reason to take Rushed Setup in raid? I feel like Unbreakable Stride is better?
fsfs just wasnt expecting that
unbreakable stride doesn't really do anything sadly (neither does rushed setup but ya know, at least when you need it, it's there)
myth pacemaker or take hero legs to make 4 set this week for sin? did raid and didnt get any tier tokens
I'd probably take the pacemaker
ty
heroic tier is like grains of sand on a beach in the next 2-3 weeks
send sim pacemaker was higher than a bunch of other myth slot pieces for me
for those pugging m+ etc.. how do you even do it, it truly is a wait fest even with your own key its downright impossible lol
its quicker to pvp
I fish lol
simming rn just to see
Anybody else having issues with coldblood/kingbane macro? I have to press it several times to get it to work
pvp is a shitshow rn, was 2.6 in shuffs last ssn, a lot of overtuned stuff atm
but i run out of time to even finish 10s in vault lol
I should specify more, sorry. The issue with unbreakable stride is that it only reduces the duration of slowing effects if the effect is ONLY, SPECIFICALLY a debuff slowing effect. A lof the time slowing effects are attached to things like dots or ground effects or other boss mechanics. It's very rare for just a debuff with a slow effect and nothing else to appear, and then for that effect to also be worth reducing significantly
That or watch a movie on my other monitor
so I've done some simming (hopefully correctly), and I feel like it's a no brainer on my vault choice but would value anyones opinion:
Sim 1 - take champion antennae or mythic pacemaker
Sim 2 - take the tier gloves and catalyse 2x hero pieces from my bags to go from S2 4pc to S3 4pc
I play m+ and am doing regular 10s now so i'll be getting myth track each week from there, raiding is only on norm still (lame) but will only push as high as AOTC
!up
That’s going in the Whispyr message folder
sim screenshot for comparison:
Do I need kingsbane in M+?
My fav one still has to be either the parent body swap or the long explanation of a mom joke
assuming i still just go pacemaker?
No
Yea it sucks. I just like doing keys so I just sign up all the time while I’m watching TVs shows, movies, fishing, or even playing with me kids lol.
!gear
What did you use 1st on? 
MH Dagger
I kill Wolves and Bees
Ook, than yeah bracers
am I missing anything or is the gear choice that obvious that I'm doubting myself, haha
!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
can you evasion money order on postmaster boss in streets to solo soak?
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/5SCUSshVVsFfr8WTUSmCEV my dung slice finally finished
guys one quesiton. in our rota for example in single target. When we vanish.. do you use ambus as combopoints builder or multilate?
Myth belt or hero tier for 4 set mmmmm
a and i forgot to say of course with subtergurge
Na the coldblood kingsbane macro. When i press it. I have to press it several times for it to go off. Maybe kingsbane needs to be first. Im not sure
but how are you meant to even play the game like... ive always just swapped to offspec tank or heal to get keys done but that is impossible on rogue so its just braindead AFK time
Also is it normal for shiv not covering all of the fatebound kings bane opener?
both shivs
myth track has lost a little bit of value because we get another myth piece from tazavesh every week
Order shouldn't matter
KB is on the GCD, CB is not.
so dont feel bad getting bis hero track trinkets etc
hey, any obvious talent swaps for hard mode tazavesh?
full aoe bleed on packs and fatebound ST on bosses
swap in caustic for a few bosses
could go iron wire for the silence and damage reduction in aoe
alr
wish it was that easy hahah
I think this is the highest my patchwerk sim is getting tonight: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/qubLNKSCrgf6pSH8MtEnuW
Is it worth to craft a 2nd weapon this week?
no
its almost never worth to craft a 2nd weapon
offhand is the least impactful slot
almost def better to craft your other embelli slot
ok so, the "ideal" should be an offset piece for the embelish or the nontier armor piece
Got it

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
those have changed?
for s3
S2 4-pc to S3 4-pc or myth track pacemaker? I'll get 4-pc in raid tonight but it'll be champ track item not hero track
double 4p proc fixed
no
ty boss
