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.

No one cares about any of these shit games.

#

Gamecom you suck.

waxen oyster
#

because there isnt a general best one.

Your offpiece is the one that doesn’t complete ur 4p

waxen oyster
#

Well yeah this early on, barely anyone has the luxury to "pick" their 4p.

errant heath
#

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?

waxen oyster
#

Chest is alot of stat

coral ibex
#

yea its the largest stat allocation you can equip

#

big main stat good

ocean ore
errant heath
#

oh I see. I was always told trinket = big dmg right after weapon

waxen oyster
#

sac isnt even that crazy

vale shore
errant heath
#

didn't consider chest to be that crucial

coral ibex
#

chest and legs are usually better investments than trinkets unless the trinket is insanely overtuned

#

bc of the stat allocation

vale shore
errant heath
#

hah lol

#

I see okay will just pick the best sim then

waxen oyster
#

chest helm legs

#

all 3 are the big items

vale shore
waxen oyster
#

busted trinkets are outliers

#

and honestly neither sac or crystal are busted

#

I'd prob take hero soulhunter shoes over either of them...

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?

coral ibex
#

yes tier and good trinkets are massive

twilit cargo
#

like literally double my damage massive?

coral ibex
#

well 4p is an enormous gain, like 15+%

#

if not more

waxen oyster
#

if you dont have an on use trinket its not gonna help

main bridge
#

You could be making mistakes also

royal lantern
#

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

coral ibex
#

yea theres probably some skill issue, are you potting, are you getting good crit luck

twilit cargo
#

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

vital torrent
#

Is there a poison better in mm+ or raid to apply to weapon?

twilit cargo
#

not potting either

main bridge
twilit cargo
#

but i dont know how much damage im supposed to do

coral ibex
#

ive done 25m+ on that first flood pull, but im potting and i have tier

twilit cargo
#

or do u mean rotation compare

#

with tierset DS at the kingsbane you send the 1 shiv at 11 seconds kingsbane remaining right

I’m talking about rotation mistakes and such. Not using potion is a big mistake also

without set and pot

#

and no good trinkets

coral ibex
#

no good on use, no tier, no pot

#

yea ur gonna be missing a lot of dam

waxen oyster
#

Over 20 quite easy when i got pot and maghar going

twilit cargo
#

what about st in m+

#

does that also get way better

coral ibex
#

the number goes higher but the experience is the same

humble verge
#

legit

coral ibex
#

you are energy starved

devout jolt
#

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?

twilit cargo
#

ye

humble verge
#

soulbinder on mythic

#

aint that hard

humble verge
#

its just a heal check

coral ibex
#

ambush replaces mutilate

humble verge
#

and somewhat dps to kill down adds

coral ibex
#

you cannot cast mutilate with a blindside proc

#

like your mutilate button literally becomes ambush

#

no macro required

devout jolt
#

ahhh, so I dont need ambush on my bars out of stealth

#

tyty ❤️

waxen oyster
#

very few pure st scenarios in keys

#

I guess second boss priory is one? end that at like 2.5m is ok ig

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

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

how does that work for raid

grave osprey

!shiv

prisma monolithBOT

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

/cast Shiv 
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null

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

#showtooltip Kingsbane
/cast Cold Blood
/cast Kingsbane

Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket

assuming you are playing bleed

yes

but you have multiple shivs available between DM

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

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

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

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.

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
