#

ability damage is calculated off of mainhand weapon damage, so the offhand is just auto attack damage and a stat stick

#

but offhand daggers also happen to have the least amount of stats out of any slot in the game

#

(daggers in general I guess)

vocal seal
#

Big up to b-lizzard for naming the crafted daggers

  • dagger
  • stabber
balmy condor
#

so it's a stat stick with no stat

cerulean bear
#

Well so you suggest to craft wrist instead ?

balmy condor
#

offhand daggers are basically permanently reserved to hold embellishments these days cause they're so pointless otherwise

floral olive
#

You only want to put enough ruptures out to stack out scent of blood right? or keep going if you have a pull of 10 mobs?

Do you use nether prism at 18 stacks only or macro it with death mark?

I have a question: Do I always wait to use Envenom until the target has 10 stacks of Agonizing Poison, when the Envenom buff is about to expire should I try to maintain 2 stacks of Envenom for higher uptime, or is it better to just use Envenom whenever I have enough energy/combo points?

#

when i'm low energy

main bridge
#

envenom all the time

#

the idea is to keep using finishers so you can get back into Darknest Night

#

guys in m+ with bleed build why my single target damage is ass?

balmy condor
#

because the bleed build doesn't have good single target

why is deathstalker tier set such hot garbage compared to fatebound

#

im pretty sure i did more dps in m+ with old 4pc

balmy condor
#

it's not that bad

#

definitely an upgrade

but its also with ilvl upgrade

balmy condor
#

yeah okay

#

so whats the issue

#

you gained nearly 10%

bleak plume
#

so im pretty sure the ilvl increase is accounting for most of the damage gain lol

#

compared to fatebound where 4pc is 20-25% dmg boost

balmy condor
#

I'm pretty sure it isn't

bleak plume
#

in st

balmy condor
#

well yes

#

the 2 pc on fatebound is very strong in st

solid talon
#

Tanks that don’t let you restealth >

balmy condor
#

fb 2pc is pretty overtuned

loud monolith
#

I didn't see anything in the guides about using the 4pc bonus for deathstalker, but does it make sense to use Shiv with 1 stack remaining and 6 combo points, followed by an envenom, to instantly reset to 3 stacks? or is it better to hold shivs for deathmarks

#

Seems like it is good for a quick ST burst but not sure if it's worth the cost of potentially missing a double shiv when deathmark is back up

balmy condor
#

what if I told you

#

you could do both

#

by simply doing that during a deathmark

loud monolith
#

So basically just if I do it make sure I do it so that it will be back up for deathmark... got it

balmy condor
#

yeh, you just do the same thing as before

ancient rain
#

I guess there won't be any difference if I Shiv, Vanish, Deathmark, Kingsbane right? cuz then I could macro my prism to vanish and forget about it

golden loom

totally fine

what's the tech with vanish in fatebound st build? i understand it's for the coins or something, but i cant find the interaction?

Hey, sorry for the question, see everyone playing bleed build with subterfuge, what exactly do u do during subturfuge? Do you just do ur normal rotation of applying bleeds and using your spenders/builders etc or is there a different rotation while subterfuge is active?

uneven marsh
#

Shiv>DM>KB with 2p

lethal arrow
#

Shiv before DM and then shiv the last 8 seconds of DM

#

recommend 2d craft

#

U shivved after dm fell off

leaden epoch
#

do we always use evenom with full combo points or 4+?

undone stag
#

oh nice

lethal arrow
#

Otherwise ur parse was prob impacted by just kill time and outside of CDs or something

uneven marsh
lethal arrow
#

and hold 2 stacks or is 1 fine too?

lethal arrow
leaden epoch
#

and for st just hold buffs up

#

rapture garrote

#

all the time

lethal arrow
#

dont let bleeds fall off

#

envenom on cd

leaden epoch
#

ok

lethal arrow
#

and burst when kb/dm are up etc etc

leaden epoch
#

cuz i often starve energy

lethal arrow
#

that is normal

leaden epoch

ooh

but if i have like 60 energy back

#

i just spend

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

lethal arrow
#

if ur in a fight with adds

leaden epoch
#

till almost full

lethal arrow
#

just rupture snipe for bonus energy

leaden epoch
#

but full ST

lethal arrow
#

full ST u just constantly send

frozen iris
#

!gear

lethal arrow
#

the only real min max is to hold energy a little before kingsbane

#

and even that is miniscule

leaden epoch
#

so ST is not that hard

#

i guess

not on paper no

Yeah only pool energy if <150 energy a few sec before kb

it gets hard if u have to start considering moving timers

What do you guys think?
Which Spec suits best for M+ and Raid?
Still haven't crafted a Weapon, because i cant decide... xD

snow kindle
#

Whats the reason why first GCD is Garrote over Ambush as FB

#

Does Ambush give less CP than a mutilate

marsh fjord
snow kindle
#

i understand that but doesnt ambush give more CP than a mutilate

marsh fjord
#

But it litteraly does not matter how you open btw. you just want your bleeds out as fast as possible.

when does a ring usually sim more than jastors? full hero track seems to not be enough

#

it's finished

marsh fjord

finally

so then wouldnt it be better to just open with ambush and garrote after

This post aims to discuss the various frustrations of rogue design throughout The War Within. Tl;dr: Why does this class have so much intentionally designed frustration?

it probably doesnt matter, but i just hate when you have to double mut when you get unlucky lol

marsh fjord
#

he can answer

mortal elm
#

IK the wowhead opener says to shiv when the first one falls of. But some top logs are leaving like 12-13 sec between shivs so i assume having it for the last 8 sec of KB instead of DM? Which onme is the correct opener?

mortal elm
#

for example this is the r1 log for loom

marsh fjord
#

if someone else did it different

#

he didnt play correctly.

balmy condor
#

turns out you can make mistakes and still rank 1 cause of rng

marsh fjord

Yup

I wonder how much uptime he has on heads coin

ok just wanted to make sure as they had r1 on soul and did the same XD

Last week on the 3th boss i parsed orange. this week i parsed green. because spatter couldnt do the job it could do last week.

this is insane

haughty flicker
#

uh

golden loom
#

I might know why getting to spatter was hard

balmy condor
#

not only are these not 5cp ruptures, you're delaying crimson tempest

haughty flicker
#

thats some gaming right there

coral ibex
#

bro loves rupture

golden loom
loud monolith
#

lol this is the feedback i need thanks guys

balmy condor
#

you should only realistically be casting 2-3, MAX 4 ruptures on a giga pull

#

and you never cast a finisher with less than 5 cp

#

so the way this should pan out

loud monolith
balmy condor
#

is you ambush garrote, rupture twice, then garrote garrote into your crimson tempest

haughty flicker
#

look at the damage man

balmy condor
#

also casting shivs this close together is simply wasting time

#

it doesn't pandemic

#

so you have 4pc, a full 11 second shiv

#

and you cast the second after only 6 seconds

#

you wasted half of that shiv

balmy condor

this is arguably the best one I've seen

#

but we're still overcapping a million combo points for absolutely no reason

gilded oasis

sometimes you just gotta iron wire man scratch that itch

loud monolith

and then immediately after that you're just sacking your shiv again

#

I just started playing rogue with 11.2 after playing prot paladin for 10 years so im still learning 😄

balmy condor
#

also I'm not sure what the context is but if you're going to vanish it's to spread bleeds generall, which you...... kind of do, I guess

#

except 30 seconds later you're vanishing again

#

and that just can't be correct

gilded oasis

balmy condor
#

yeah I mean on some of them you can vanish

#

but if it's not a huge pack then just bleed them manually and hold vanish for something better

why do we shiv before deathmark with fatebound?

balmy condor

you can use the energy from the last pack to push you into the next

anyways, the next gripe I got, I ain't done with you

#

why are we pressing our 2min cd for the first time

lyric heron
#

Rush oh Raggy

scarlet wyvern
#

in M+ when do we use Netherprism? On CD always or at DM cd?

balmy condor
#

3:30 minutes in

scarlet wyvern
#

i see so hold it till DM

#

ty

balmy condor
#

gives agi on use

#

so just raw dogging it would be pretty pointless

loud monolith
# balmy condor 3:30 minutes in

Yeah I know that one was a huge mistake, i missed using it on the first sea monster so i held it for the second sea monster

balmy condor
#

not only the second sea monster

#

you spent the dungeon holding deathmark for the next dungeon

#

that's 8 deathmarks in 24 minutes

#

you managed to turn your 2min cd into a 3min cd

loud monolith
#

so that's something i'm not used to doing at all in general since ive never played a 2min class, should just blow it basically always then? I always feel like i need to be holding it for something important. But clearly that next important thing is the next dungeon

balmy condor
#

like a magic trick

#

yes

elder goblet
#

how does Incorporeal warpclaw + improlvised seaforium pacemaker sim more than netherprism + improvised seaforium pacemaker

#

does it netherprism not sim properly or something

balmy condor
#

with this bleed build we're playing now you don't even need to really care about your deathmark all that much

#

you just throw it out onto the biggest fucker you see and it just does the work

loud monolith
#

i'm so obsessed with making sure i get the full use out of it i just dont use it at all. Use it always then, got it

now I started looking at my own m+ logs, so when going into a pack with darkest night and combo points already this is what I usally do, ambush for mark and then just not consume DN right away, it feels way better but idk if its correct

awesome, thanks so much Whispyr, very appreciating of all your work and this thorough roasting, definitely needed it.
I'll work on not overcapping combo, using big CDs asap, not overlapping shivs, and stop focusing on trying to garrote 30 mobs

balmy condor
#

for what it's worth when you got to a boss it looks a lot better

#

should maintain crimson tempest even in single target

loud monolith

Yeah i have no trouble with my ST rotation usually, and my raid logs as fatebound are generally great. It's as soon as I hit AOE I have a problem

how do you play in this situation: DS 4 set, you have Dn active and shiv off cd. Do you 1. use shiv and do not care about the -1 stack that you waste or do you 2. dn without shiv and shiv after?

lethal arrow
#

just do the dry shiv

royal lantern
#

thats the rogue herotalent we need

coral ibex
#

no i think its definitely better to cycle your mark with shiv

#

consume your last stack with shiv

lethal arrow
#

if u wanted to be super smart about it use the dry shiv to get into darkest night

coral ibex
#

then dry shiv on the DN

lethal arrow
#

but otherwise fk it just send it if u fked up

#

who cares

golden loom
#

yeah you gotta have some foresight if you wanna minmax

lethal arrow
#

its at best a sub 1% minmax

coral ibex
#

also has anyone noticed if you ambush for mark while you have DN and then shiv, it consumes a stack

#

so you have DN and 2/3 dsm mark

lethal arrow
#

but yeah use your own foresight to see that u have a darkest night coming up in your dry shiv window

#

and just play it properly

or at least a dps gain

leaden epoch
#

is unyielding netherprism trink so good for us y?

rotund marsh
#

big burst on DM window

leaden epoch
#

so stack and then DM with it

rotund marsh
#

and a bit of passive damage in between

leaden epoch
#

so its reall good right

shy creek
rotund marsh
rotund marsh
shy creek
#

also cuz you'll have it in execute on most bosses in heroic

#

and on mythic its nice for burst phase timers

rotund marsh
#

its flexible too but tbh you just always use it with dm

#

unless the boss is almost dead and dm isnt up id just pop it

shy creek
#

in fatebound u use it on 3 min mark

#

in deathstalker u use off cd

rotund marsh
fresh kelp
#

Bind to vanish and shiv vanish dm is nice

shy creek
#

^

rotund marsh
haughty flicker
#

You can

#

Since both are treated as 3m

rotund marsh
#

hmm

fresh kelp
#

Your vanish windows are also bigger than your regular dm windows

#

So is nice

gleaming geyser
rotund marsh
#

the harder the content, the better i can see that being

leaden epoch
#

so always use it on DM no matter how much stacks?

rotund marsh
#

since the bosses will be alive for a long time

rotund marsh
#

the stacks arent variable, every 10 seconds you will get one

haughty flicker
#

I mean you're never using it outside of deathmark

#

Like maybe you just send it at the end of a fight for funsies

rotund marsh
#

yeah its a waste to not use during your burst

leaden epoch
#

but i never do 2 use trinks right

frozen iris
#

Ive seen quite a few diff ideas around the opener for fatebound. Is the opener rotation for fatebound not optimal on wowhead? yeseterday i think i saw someone say to kb before dm with fatebound

leaden epoch
#

cuzx i got lilly too

rotund marsh
#

prism is a pretty cool trinket, the flexability is neat

leaden epoch
#

do i use 2 on use trinkets

#

or swap lilly for equip trink?

rotund marsh
#

no

#

you cant use 2, 20 second timer if you pop one

#

so you could never have two use trinkets for one burst window

leaden epoch
#

so i replace lilly

coral ibex

#

what's the point of having 1:30 cds if every mechanic ever comes every 1:30 mins right when my cds come

coral ibex
#

that sounds wrong

frozen iris
#

Thats what i thought.

coral ibex
#

why would you want kb ticking without the DM effect

#

you do shiv before dm tho

#

shiv DM kb

rotund marsh
#

yeah kb after dm for sure, kb damage is disgusting because of dm

shy creek
#

well tbf kb doesnt get dupliated by dm so it doesnt rlly matter cuz it'll stack to 50 p fast anyway

coral ibex
#

yea but all your poisons aren't duplicated in that first second

#

so

#

its still a loss

#

you arent ramping as quickly

shy creek
#

yea its optimal to do dm kb

rotund marsh
#

you ramp up kb like 2x faster right?

#

in dm i mean

shy creek
#

yea

coral ibex
#

yea DM doubles all your poisons

rotund marsh
#

imagine if it was duped lmao

balmy condor
#

yeh

coral ibex
#

if dm doubled kb we'd be kb spec again

shy creek
#

still thin kits cringe that kb doesnt get doubled

#

like lmfao

coral ibex
#

you dont want to be kb: the spec

long hawk
#

May be a dumb question, but the 4pc triggers everytime you get fateful ending right? So my cds could get reduced every 7 same coin tosses, not just reducing my cds for the rest of the fight if I get it once?

yeah one cd being your entire damage isnt great

make DM a 1:30 and kb a 45 second and you have yourself a deal

#

wrf

#

why waste a spark

coral ibex
#

bruh just go farm 7-10 keys for hero track trinkets

shy creek
#

i'd suggest farming out more gear and getting to 701 before u worry about it, then simming once ur gear is a bit more locked in

coral ibex
#

dont waste a spark on that

I have been messing with spell queue lately but it doesnt seem to help. Im noticing that sometimes i will over cap on combopoints even though im pressing a spender.

coral ibex

you need a 90s trinket for fatebound

shy creek
#

ill optimize for M+ after dimensius probably

gleaming geyser
#

dawnbreaker isnt terrible either, has devout ring + crystal which isnt terrible

coral ibex

getting a 2m trinket is troll this season unless you get one of each

gusty marten

im on +11/+12 right now, its sometimes hard to judge id a pull survies the full duration

shy creek
#

Yeah realistically thats just a low key problem

#

Everything sorta falls over at that key level

#

You get used to making the judgement call as you play more

balmy condor
coral ibex
#

you should keep bleeds out on all targets bc of sudden demise procs

balmy condor

no

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

coral ibex

is it normal to be completley energy starved in m+ ST?

#

feels like my ST is so fcking ass

latent cypress
#

!design

prisma monolithBOT
#

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.

Hey Guys, got a question about our opening sequence. We start in steatlh and use rupture and garrote after our ambush. My question is: we got a 6 second Window where we can use that 2 stills on every add in a big pull. Does it make sense to tap every add as possible to spread that 2 Bleeds, or is it more like: just one garrote, one rupture and from now on Spam as much as Possible mutilate and envenom on our priotseget to spread our poison to the enemys ?
