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 ?
Should be a 12 second window, and you want 5 ruptures up using garotte as your combo point builder (never finish with fewer than 5 points), the rest is just vibes
Hoo boy

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.
guys im new to fatebound, is it normal that i had my deathmark after 1mn20 ?

its your answer 😄
is there a spatter wa that can tell me how many targets are in range or if not is there one that can tell me how many targets I just hit with spatter so I can compare that to how many targets are on my screen?
so guys what item would you guys pick from this vault for assas m+ 🙂
im between lily and the crit haste neck. sim says the antenna is the biggest dps upgrade but kinda dont wanna take the champ track item for shortterm 🙂
what ilvl ring are we shooting for to replace myth track jastor diamond?

/gquit, in the middle of a raid pull
rush crafted bracer for embellishment or use gilded on myth pacemaker? already crafted dagger
Even better, wait until your raid lead chastises you for being garbage passive aggressively so you pull the boss and give them a nice repair bill
Then quit

you get a "free" 704 craft from campagne if you want to upgrade bracers from s2

they arent toxic
the worth is there but
Worth sending 2 catalyst charges to get my 4 set on hero pieces?
the pepole in the guild are bad
Okay fair, no spite then
quick question, rupture sniping. Is it done with +5 cp only? or do you snipe with like 3 if the add is about to die?
yes
yes and yes
totally yes
Just leave dude, you're not beholden lol
cant tell if lying or not ;(
im thinking about writing something big and leave
delete fatebound
usually 5 for more value
cause i love the GM and officers
fucking rng bullshit
they are good
who thinks thats good design, like srlsy man
I'd handle it diplomatically
cheers 🙂
but we have like 6 pepole playing with one button rotation i guess
is there any reason to track FB coin flips?
Especially if I like some members
no
the wa pack just does it by default
i will do it then (IMMA USE CHAT GPT)
xd
usually like if im doing 2nd boss in dawn, i just do 1 fok for hopefully 5cp and just rupture adds, you get like 3-4cp ruptures, but its value that too
Nice!
4p is still completly fucked as fatebound right?
i mean the bug
coming in late, I know. On the first wall you just jump from one side of him to the other, don't really lose much. Send your 2nd KB immediately and shiv a few seconds into it right before he leaves, you'll have the shiv back up when you need it on the shield. Lets you milk a little extra KB damage while trying to run
i wouldn't describe the bug as making the spec "completely fucked"
you just get too much cdr sometimes
and you fix it by holding whatever cd got too much cdr
so they align again
kb 10 secs early? just hold it for 10s
the problem is my brain goes full unga bunga smash button aka retri brain if i see a cd up. Need some time to get adjusted to that
you should know the sequence for your stuff. If you have DM and kb is still on cd, you just wait. I've noticed the bug but I know when I'm using things anyway
is there any specific opener after we get 2 tier p?
is it only me or netherprism sometimes doesnt go off with DM macro
should i msg GM first? 😄
or just drop it in guild chat and leave
thank you
Don't even make a stink
Its cringe
Just tell your GM your standards and your desire to leave
When in ST with the Fatebound 4 set, both charges of Shiv don't line up with Kingsbane like in the opener. Do we just Shiv last 8 seconds of Kingbane, then sit on on it so the 3rd has 2 charges again?
View it like a transaction
You can leave any time you want
There is no contract
Personally I'd probsbly suffer until we called it for the night then peace
You dont have to ofc
yeah raid is over
Also; dont make the mistake I did with my first guild lmao
and we failed on 2nd boss hc
yep i already found a guild
so i join there for a while
Not sure if its the play for long but I went back to last season M+ build and my dps went up for now. Got 2400 though
isnt the m+ build this season the same as last?
No last season build I used more of a hybrid this season is more bleed orientated
as shown on the wowhead guide
what key levels were you using hybrid
Ara Kara 10 and Gambit I went back to hybrid and my dps was higher for now
Ill try the bleed build again later but my dps was lower with it
maybe you just don't play bleed build properly
I dunno
Its similar to the pvp build I have and I pump in shuffle with it but also its kind of apples to oranges cause PVP=/=PVE though
shuffle is m+ style doe
I just did noticeably better with the hybrid in keys
and my mythic plus group noticed too lol
@balmy condor did u sim sending shiv asap with 50 stacks in dm vs last 8s? what im asking is the shiv uptime for arterial during dm better or shivving lingering kb tick
(fixed btw)
this is my damage using bleed build
Yeah im going to be data tracking the two builds more I could be doing something wrong but I dotn nkow what cause the pvp build is only slightly different than the mythic plus one and I pump in shuffle with it so I dont know what is wrong in keys
Ill have to clear hard drive space to start game capturing
hard drives in the big 25
but also
whats your damage overall at the end of your dungeons with hybrid?
like your flood 10
!log
Wowanalyzer now has good initial support for Assassination. We suggest using it to quickly see any big rotational mistakes and analyze your ability usage
Link: https://wowanalyzer.com/
I kinda like hybrid for just not being so bad on ST for bosses
Sorry for delay someone tried to kill me in warmode
just get tank to pull ads on boss and boom
so Hybrid netting me about a mil higher overal dps
but what was your overall on floodgate 10 with hybrid
also that could be down to routing
group might've been better so you did more damage etc
rather than specifically the build but idk
6.5 mil
You did have a point though routing could be the reason why I could be lower with Bleed build
something I havent considered
do you have a log for your bleed build one
Does your tank do big or small pulls?
no it expired on my details
do you not upload to wcl
it's pretty tough to compare m+ runs because of routing, group composition, tank cadence and a million other variables
Hi guys, is Outlaw better than assa right now?
Hey Guys, i am new to the Fatebound Singletarget, when do i use my coldblood @the opener and later in fight
Before kingsbane
@main bridge look at this imposter
the real muffin is here

Could a fellow rogue do a log review on the first three bosses mythic? Last seasons i generally log 90+ consistently, but now it has been bad so far. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jywN81xHJ3Knt4Pv Not sure what i am doing wrong? I do not think that i can admit everything to gear as my ilvl is pretty high (707).
Could be worse
My guild spent an hour each on each of the first 3 bosses on heroic on tuesday
so youre 3/8
i wish
Im fiending to play
We called it after failing 3rd boss
We are 1 day 3h casual raiding
We got further than I was expecting
I was expecting them to get hard stuck on sentinel 
Pre pot doesn't exist in raid anymore right ?
is it worth playing around sanguine blades during st in dungeons?
Honestly just press buttons
Nope
Your stats seem off. Also I looked at one of my logs and I did twice as much damage with ambush, 7 ilvl lower. Those are the two things that stick out.
Can i check ur log? Whats your ing?
stats seem off how come
no crit?
you're playing clean generally speaking, im having to pick the tiniest faults; you sent 2x shiv on a lone kb and ended up not having 2x shiv for your 3 mins with prism and vanish, that's really about it - only other optimisations I can think of would be trying to rupture the boss right before it goes away other than that you occasionally don't pool enough before kingsbane - realistically though I think it's mainly rng if you will log high or not outside of the shiv misplay.
I just saw the vers crafts
hopefully that answers your question kiwi
cooking? or not yet (NM)
this is from first boss
tbh as soon as I looked through 2 mins of your globals I could tell you know how to play, you're not making any fundamental mistakes
just be disciplined with shiv and pooling for kb
happens bro, now you know
(using before KB like opener)

!vanish
Vanish->Ambush during cooldowns with Darkest Night up has two main benefits:
- Getting more mark uptime by reapplying when it's down
- Consuming Darkest Night then puts you from 3 stacks of the mark down to 2 since the mark is already applied
As of September 13th with the Echoing Reprimand Fix, that second part is broken. Blizzard inadvertantly added a bug where you cannot consume mark stacks while darkest night is active. This will hopefully get resolved quickly as it is quite impactful. Until that time, you might want to consider taking improved garrote in your single target build (instead of 1 point of vicious venoms, or instead of improved poison). You do not have to do this, and if you would like to continue to play without improved garrote, you would simply hold onto your vanish in case you drop the mark. Once the bug is fixed you would go back to vanish->ambush.
whats num diff between using prism with vendeta and vanish
is it like more than 1%
yes
hey lads, i have a quick one. am i meant to permanently hold CT up on ST bosses in m+
Yes
damn, ive been trolling all week then
been in the mindset of "its an aoe button" but its time to do better
Its reasonable. Super common question for a reason.
i played a bit of assa in s1, and im pretty sure it was no go in ST that season. but i shouldve noticed its bleed assa
Didn’t blizzard say they fixed the bug with the fatebound tier set?
I had the cd desync issue in the raid tonight
im having them too
How do you play around it, do you just wait until DM is at 45 sec cd?
Well it's hard to say
Typically both DM and kB get the cdr additional times
So it shouldn't unalign to much just be weird
Cheers, thanks!
Technically it's heaps better since there's a good shot your DM is back up along side your vanish
If it happens
Guess i have to pool more energy going forward, i hate that, i am too impatient xd
whats the bug tho?
The 4p cdr gets doubled
Yeah but I'll take faster DM and kB over that anyway
so for example you get 30 sec cd instead of 15
Is it worth using them on cd?
i kinda agree lol
Usually it happens only in the opener, after that it fixes itself somehow
It’s such a weird bug
Yeah it's super inconsistent
CAUSE YOU FLIP ALOT MORE COIN THAN YOU DO IN NORMAL ROTATION 😄
I just want to know how I should treat it
Hold or just send
since we macro CB into kingsbane and throw our CB out of spell bar
we could send 😄
But people sometimes talk like ONLY kB gets it or something
But after a conversation yesterday I think people might just be confusing themselves
Yeah I get it a LOT on big d as well
Is astral antenna bugged ?
anyone can check it

HOW TO GET HIGHER PARSE

We dont play with a off Piece this season ? 🤔
All stats are good
You can sim 500 gear combos and come out with the same number so why not play all 5
I just got 4 piece and had some questions about it. I'm currently playing the bleed dungeon build (sanguine blades) for reference.
1: How do you open into a pack of 8+ mobs in a dungeon? I've been doing ambush > garrote > rupture (priority target) > rupture 2nd target that doesn't have it > garrote > retarget priority > FoK if I need combo points > crimson tempest > shiv > build for ambush (ensure caustic spatter is up)

01:36 First global does not need to...
@balmy condor on your wowhead guide, you mention that we not longer care about the auto-proc from Thistle Tea. can you explain why ? Thanks ❤️
Honest to god. I've never thought about my rotation that hard before. I just vibe it out mostly
Just in case he's not around to give a fuller answer. Basically it's just not that big of a deal. Hyper minimal.
energy good
The energy you get when you go under 30 is very valuable
but shall we pay attention to energy and not drop too low ?
And the mastery during kb which has been nerfed 5 times is not valuable anymore
we not longer care about the auto-proc from Thistle Tea
he said it already
No. You don’t care. You just macro it to shiv and take it off your bar.
Alright, thanks fellas
May i ask how do we find prio targets in fights? i mean how do i make sure that i have bleed on prio targets in a pack of 10+ mobs
should i click the plates of different colors and put bleed? 😄
I just spam my main target and pray
yes it might work but its kinda wrong in my mind
^
!carnage
Indiscriminate Carnage Targetting and Swapping
TLDRMouseovers/Target swapping is optimal on 6 target, or 8+ targets, but not necessarily required
- The 2 Bleeds spread by carnage are smart and will prioritize mobs without the bleed. If everything already has bleeds it'll apply randomly
- You as the character are still casting the bleed against your target like normal, this is why people will sometimes use mouseover macros or swap targets
Swapping targets is situationally better, but can be ignored if you're having difficulties with it. Take 5 mob aoe as an example, your first garrote cast will apply to 3 targets (your target + 2 more). Regardless of if you swap or not, your second cast of garrote will hit your target, and then apply 2 more garrotes, prioritizing the mobs that do not have garrote. In very large aoe pulls (12 or more), a standard opener (garrote-garrote-rupture-rupture-garrote-garrote) will only apply 9 garrotes (3+2+2+2) and 5 ruptures (3+2) if you do not swap, losing you 3 garrotes and a rupture.
It is technically worse, but the situations in which you lose bleeds aren't very common; the lost ruptures/garrotes don't contribute much to your already flooded energy, you don't get additional scent of blood stacks, etc. The loss is purely the extra damage from those bleeds.
Ignore your mind. Your mind is wrong.
but sometimes i found the whole pack died and i have 2 prio target without bleed
and i have to re apply bleed
SO ITS WRONG
I mean you can just send some ruptures
like the first BIG pull in gambit
It’s okay
Sometimes you gotta reapply. Is what it is
We are a dot class. Dotting is cool
- If I have 1 stack of deathstalker up and 150 energy, 1 shiv, crimson tempest is about to run out, and no thistle tea:
Is it better to shiv and envenom or crimson tempest > shiv > mut/fok > envenom?
Basically do you lose more dps from crimson tempest downtime in single target or being in energy debt for 4-5 seconds?
Like you can't control WHAT ic will bleed around you very well. At all. If it picks the chaff in a big pull. Its what it's.
is there a limit on bounty delves that give hero gear per week?
but i can target swap its not that hard to shift+tab to me
Just do more ruptures or something if it really triggers. Or use a mouse over to guarantee your tertiary bleeds.
You'll still run into an issue though where your screen is nothing but health bars and you'll just giga slow down your activity staring at the screen for the right bar.
I think it’s one
I'd rather just use 2 more global's for an extra bleed or whatever
if i have lily and nether prism should i run both on fatebound?
up, can someone check if it's the same for them?
Not sure where shiv plays into this but in ST you would refresh your bleed in pandemic first and then envenom after
or should i just use pacemaker
Shiv removes a deathstalker stack with tier set
Right but why are you sending shiv
Do you have to? You can just refresh your bleed first
Then envenom
The vibes man. Shiv for the viiiiiibes
does anyone know of a way to sim a character without receiving a certain buff??
looking to not get the "i did that" buff from jastor diamond
If it’s outside dm you can send shiv whenever as long as you don’t sit on 2 and have 2 for your dm. So you could just hold it to not confuse yourself
Refresh CT get your darkest night and then shiv when it feels right after that
So neither energy debt or dropping a bleed is ever worth it to push damage?
What do you mean energy debt
By "energy debt" I just mean spending below 150 on bleed build so you lose sanguine blades
What is that
Is this in regards to sanguine?
I could be blind and am not seeing it on wowhead but is there % crit we are aiming for in the fatebound raid build?
We don't "aim"
We sim
You don’t play around sanguine unless everything else is perfect and even then it’s like .4% better. I just send all the time and it’s fine
tomato tomato
!stats
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

whispyr debating cinderbrew vs cindermead

Do they?
yeah
Do they!?
NO I DRANK IT ALL

Oh. Well we good then. They out of business.
yeah heck the bees
switched from crimson vial to cinderbrew mead
speaking of crimson vial didn't they promise us farmable upgrades for it?
Don't. We can't expect them to pay up on statements. Its unfair.
We were supposed to get cool items to use in combat from pick Pocketing too
It's what it's.
lowest of low key
could we use a defensive buff?
i don't feel as tanky relative to the raid as I once did
We're definitely not as tanky as we once were
like we aren't dying or anything
but if we live or die falls to the healers
It might just bee the way it goes now.
found a kewl plugin to details
i can't beelieve you've done this

For fatebound, if your cooldowns come up earlier than the normal 45 seconds for cold blood kingsbane and the 1:30 for deathmark, do you go ahead and blow them, or do you wait for them to line up again
wait
if you wait your 1:30 min trinket does not lineup with it anymore
Im currently using a netherprism heroic trinket
hi! new here and sorry if its listed somewhere BUT; what are the best settings when simming assa rogue for strictly m+?
if we use kingsbane faster and use the next one with DM you can use trinket with 10 sec loss at least
dungeon slice, 5 mins
bois on big 10+ packs how many ruptures are we sending? just carnage then slam the caustic target?
then doesnt matter
yes
thank you!
nah if this is a troll then well fucking played sir

Yea, let me try it again in st
in that specific scenerio its better, Fatebound 4pc Patchwerk
I see a lot of rogues running it in m+, is there a reason?
the reason is they dont have forge
Fatebound bug:
Does anyone know why my lucky coin doesn't activate at the start of combat as soon as I reach 7 charges? Sometimes it's given to me later, or not at all. Is this a bug?
are you doing the opener correctly?
it doesnt give it to you instantly because its an actual coin that drops onto the ground then flies at you
as for why not at all i think theres a bug where you can skip from 6 straight to 8 and not get it
yes, cause agil > secondary usually

gotcha
@worn monolith
This must be what happened to me on 1st boss last night. I was so confused and kind of upset as my parse was so bad
don't judge my TMW because i dont use WA's
i have 🙂
The other coins also fall to the ground and are given to you instantly. Last week, I think they were given as soon as you reached 7 charges. I don't know if it's a mistake or they've changed it
the other coins are not this coin
thats just how this coin works
can go find clips of it in outlaw channel if you want
you can even los it if you try hard enough
i just showed how to proc the coin

!chainpull
Explanation of why stealth benefits aren't as important as you might think:
- For starters, "Chain pulls" are NOT when the tank pulls a new pack with 1% hp remaining on the previous mobs. That is called "Bad Tanking", and it sucks for everyone in your party.
- Correct Chain pulls usually happen while the previous pack is still alive and not dangerous. This increases uptime on more targets, which is the biggest increase in DPS for the entire party. This is also the biggest reason why you see high key level players doing so much damage.
- Garrote is roughly 7-9% of people's damage in a key, most of which is already empowered/cleaved
- Most energy spreading will come from Rupture to maintain scent of blood, not garrote
- Without a Trace (+1 vanish charge) only grants roughly 2 additional casts across a whole dungeon, but does allow for holding vanish for large chain pulls which improves the quality of each vanish
- You can argue that it "feels bad", but numerically there is very little ground to stand on, the dps simply isn't there.
im not

Tmw for boomer like us
btw, whys your details right beside your frame and bars like that
because seeing your damage is the most important thing
I have my damage meter covering my whole screen
maybe ill make a new BL gif
my damage meter gets larger the higher i am on it
so itll do that
it starts playing speed racer music as i get higher on the meters too

hi guyz, i wanna know how important are the restealth in m+ VS always chain pulling ? and versus the other rogue spec is it all equal
starting from stealth in M+ builds is quite helpful. plan vanishes accordingly if you have a chain pull tank that cant give you a half a second.
If your tank chains while one mob has 5% health left = Bad
If your tank chains while 4 mobs have 40% health left = Good
Stealth allows you to spread bleeds faster
If mobs are already alive, you already have bleeds out
So you dont need stealth as much
alright ty, the emp garrot dont matter as much ?
as Fatebound do we want to use muti or ambush when we vanish?

- 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.
any1 know how i get the bonus ids to enter items i dont own into raidbots?
in topgear you can search the item and put in the ilvl
no problem. imo its a bit weird tho, put in the ilvl first, then search, and then click the item
instead of search > input ilvl
yeee just noticed :D thanks
Did the hotfix make assa on par with everyone else or they still PUUUUUUUUUUMPIN?
for the talent indiscriminate carnage does garrote and rupture apply to 2 additional nerby enemies uop to12 sedconds after breaking stealth? like i can apply it as i am in stealth then reapply 10-12 seconds after stealth?
yes
man
my guildie borrowed me his epic sub raidbots acc
and jesus
it sims goddamn fucking fast
yeah its worth it IMO if you use it a lot
i felt that the cheap sub was ok
but like
it went from 2-3min droptimizer prolly more? to a 30s one
now you cant go back
Is there a specific build for Forgeweaver? After the first intermission my mark falls off because the pylons don't "die" for it to reset
man i had add fights
Yea that's what I did. Had to choose between it being up during 2nd phase or last tho -.-
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
couldn't we run the castsequence line but at 180 for nether prism technically?
lol I saved vanish for forge and it broke me out and I couldn't reapply mark . I was pretty mad
no, go for the tank adds
i do 1 full ds round on collector
so the fatebound build is better for raids right?
ok so be even more useless that phase than already
what is better talents for raid fatebound or death?
theres no point focusing on the tank adds they'll blow up when everyone sends shit in the amp
you're just making the intermission last longer
except for boss 345
yeah, so single target is fatebound
@balmy condor couldn't one set a cast sequence 180 for prism in dm macro?
Probably I'm missing something by why does my parse say 93% (https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/3HARZDT1vmk6GBMY?fight=38&type=damage-done) but im #23 here (https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/rankings/44?boss=3131&class=Rogue)
im wondering about the last boss as well, as I play cleave for intermission with add walls
So devourer is just a straight up ranged spec apparently. Been good knowing you havoc.
Wouldn't this be every 1.5min?
nah it['s not
it has melee spells and relies on dashing in, unloading then retreat out
for heroic dim, run fatebound single target, with caustic spatter pivot
They describe it as a ranged spec in the vid
No, because vanish has 2 min cd
well
at the very least you have to hunt in
Oh true my brain dont work so good sometimes
its crazy
fuck swapping to the adds, just stand on them to spatter, maybe put a rupture up
probably mostly ranged
do we netherprism on pull then again on 3mins? or do we only save for 3mins
we're in 2025 and dh are still stealing warlock spells
void ray used to be a demo spell
fel flame while inside meta
mop demo, meta 2x chaos wave + hellfire into void ray spay SHEEESH the aoe burst
Yeah but looking at it. It looks like it's hybrid in the same way red mage is "hybrid" in ff. Its not really. It just has skills that go in every now and then.
so long as any dps is tied to being in melee i consider it a hybrid
but ye its primarily ranged
i think
id just expect em to dash in with voidblade, send hungering slash and dash out
not seen gameplay vids
can you share?
Is bleed build the way rn?
!up
you dont decide muti is exchanged by ambush
can someone explain how the sim has almost 3x my damage in fatebound coin than my rotation
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/NmJwBfT9HQWGzFL8?fight=6&type=damage-done&source=40
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/uTeyWLUxd1PNQzWDDaFLR4
is it me doing something wrong?
You rolled mostly heads
Third
Oh woops
Yes second vanish. Third dm
its crazy i parse so bad and i feel i dont do much mistake
but ty for answering
my crit is awful
but.. im comparing myself to my sim
but i know my crit sucks
6k..
yeah...
that hurts a bit
I compared your kill to mine (did it like 3 hours ago) and the difference is a bit big
Comparing yourself to a Sim depending on certain things will be inherently painful too. That doesn't help
Eg making sure you have the same buffs between the 2
Has anybody tried bleed build for soul hunters heroic?
Downtime uptime mechanics
Yes. And yes you do.
WHY are the servers down ffs
I figured I was told cleave off of it but we have a very nice bleed build for mythic+
Yeah it's a very good spec with super good funnel to your dsm target. Good for that fight.
the jump from pal to rogue is kinda wide gapped
he does lower his apm a lot
PALADIN IDENTIFIED
Well yeah, the st vs cleave is pretty much spatter, im just thinking about the hero talents
Never plaued fatebound before until now ive just seen myself in a rear viwe mirror by one of the assa rogues
rng
its litterally a coin flip
you could just roll a lot of heads and have barely any tails
@normal mist
aka just roll better, skill issue
when do we use Unyielding Netherprism? bind to deathmark or kingsbane?
you accept the pillars are gonna fuck it and hold vanish for dmg amp
or play sub / fatebound / outlul
You don't when it comes to the pillars. Like you can take super high care and juggle it on the adds. Or just let it burn. Hold vanish for the boss phase AFTER pillars
But it's just a cringe interaction
It is what it is

Hi guys, is this real? https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ktfPngdxmBtEgthDgzXUPr I mean, -153k on a ring is crazy
You and me homie
question playing DS for aoe fights in raid do i hit shiv on cool down i have 4 set?
how you guys use the netherprism trinket
Use it on pull, then again in 3min when the stacks are max
Inc empowered ct
is netherprism over simming?
with dmark
no
It's just a weird on-use for us
Solely Fatebound, anyway
Its good on ds too tbh
Unless the fight is really short its very good as DS too
Especially in keys (since theyre typically not <5 minutes)
Would you still treat it as a 3min as DS?
Its just a very good trinket
i took your feedback very seriously and within 1 dungeon i am now 2x my old dps. Insane how bad I was
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/zMfFw3BRKj2d8AV4?fight=last&type=damage-done
new rogue here, trying to get a feel for the prio - I'm working on the bleed build for M+ right now - I see Blindside can give us free Ambushes - I am lookign at the single target prio and I only see Ambush being used to apply Deathstalker's Mark from Stealth... Does this mean we don't use the Ambush procs from Blindside at all or am I missing something?
Blindside turns mutilate into ambush
So unless you dont press mutilate youre forced to use the blindside procs
bro.. i seriously HOPE they change deathstalker mark..
oh ok, I somehow missed it changing icons - going from braindead hunter to rogue is a bit overwhelming. thanks everyone
cose if its new line but with the same shit before..
Keep pressing the same button. Blindside does the WORK for you
We'll get empowered ct and the inability to put dsm on the same target twice
Then they'll bring back exsanguinate
And "super slice n dice"
Super snd is just a better snd but you have to manually refresh it
Deathmark is just a cooler version of exsang anyway
That fill pretty much the same design space
That's why it's perfect. Unnecessary complications you see
Perfect rogue design
Class fantasy
"focused deathstalker mark" empowers all DSM effects
Also makes the target 20% more likely to parry
Low-key
The one functionality missing from dm would be making it aoe
It would go CRAZY
Aoe DSM kinda goes against the theming
Demisegods, say it with me
When I stab Salhadaar with the Kingslayers, he should die immediately because he's a Nexus-King.
I doubt we'd ever see that
Looking at Lorrgs for forgemaster araz. Do we really send DM at 2min and skip the damage amp?
The theming makes no sense anyways, why is ds such a powerhouse in aoe
Its funneling everything into the one you're focused on
Its MEANT to be the "fuck you in particular" theme
That’s just sin anyway, nodes for fok / ct break the immersion
Deathmark is the fuck you in particular
As vendetta once was
Very apt name
this bug with 4 pc fatebound is driving me nuts, keeps desyncing my cds
Well yeah. And ds is meant to exemplify that
Hopefully they bring fatebound aoe up
That's why sin rogues all felt more of a gravity towards ds. It was the obvious primary for us in terms of theme
And maybe clean up the thematic
Ngl I went fatebound day one, though it had more to do with gameplay than theme
FB is the outlaw lean
Rogue as a thematic doesn’t have nearly as clearly defined archetypes like mage or warlock
Like what the fuck is sub
Is it a ninja, a magician with daggers
Some dude in the shadows hiding?
Sub and sin SORTA sit in the same spot. Just different flavours
Why do they throw explosive powder 😭
Ones red/green and ones purple
!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
The feeling were meant to get though is that sub is the spy. The trickster or mastermind
Maybe sub being poison spec and sin being pure bleed mighta worked better
Sin is the killer
has anyone found anything to stop this assa bug from proccing multiple times?
Since then the hero trees would just hybridise what each spec represents clearer than now
Outlaw with poisons, outlaw with bleeds, bleeds with poison
Etc
Yeah well... The hybrid parts are just carryover from the old days
For me the distinction is evident in each specs burst, sin is backloaded killing with poisons slowly
I imagine if wow was first made with this system our specs would be super different from each other
wait for your lucky coin to hit you
Sub is more about ambush and immediate murder
would u guys take one of those or just take socket? they seem to be simming worse than ara kara/pacemaker/liliy on heroic track
That's the mechanic vs the theme.
I’d say sub gameplay perfectly fits the thematic
Though in a real situation they’d run, hide for another ambush instead of standing there backstabbing
The THEME is the mastermind spy man.
Eg Mathias Shaw is THE sub guy smart. Brains big.
Lady v is the sin rogue. Murderous. Dagger sharp.
how is ass in raid going atm
Sin deffo feels the most persistent thematically, like the spec has a grudge
Good
what is assassination tier off piece guys?
Doesn’t matter much but chest
ty
are we all going with fatebound for sT in raid still or switching for each boss fight
It’s 100% fine to run tier for the other specs that care more about stats
We are completely fine with any mix of tier items
thank you!!!!!!!!! my god that is amazing
I see what you mean, what about outlaw? I always thought of it as a thug, dirty fighter using hidden guns, throwing bricks etc
Anything to win
Yes exactly
They used to have this swordmaster kinda vibe to outlaw / combat back when it had more emphasis on sword strikes
Outlaw isn't necessarily a PIRATE it's the guy who will hit you with a chair
forgeweaver making me sad, folks
Best way to describe it would be the double down spec
Outlaw will kick you when you’re down
The way I think of it is that scene with jack sparrow and will dueling
"you cheated"
"... pirate..."
Like that feel
Predictions for the new talents
Low-key I have no idea
One will affect kb and or dm I’d imagine
Clearly iconic spells with strong thematic and mechanical implications
Maybe outright capstones for poison / bleed
wait can you pre stack netherprism to 18 before pulling a boss?
Unironically... If I see an empowered ct I wouldn't be unhappy about it
No. It clears.
Buff KB
Pls no more power to ct😭 it’s already beating my healers dps solo
I WANT MY DOT CLASS BACK!
I hope they make IC / MA tied to an independant button
Instead of stealth
Would love that
Honestly... Just... Put shadowdance back in the class tree lol
They won’t
I know it will upset all the sub mains but that's ok
Gameplay wise it was a million times better
There's only 7 of them
But they wouldn’t xd
I’m fairly sure one of these apex talents will juice kb
Echoing caustic spatter
Inb4 there’s a talent to change envenom
Hopefully
Whispyr will be fuming
Idk about better, it’s competitive if you like to play it
I think they have a lot less prio dmg when aoeing
Due to how much power is in black powder
Maybe it will give ret spread cleave

Perhaps it increases the stacking capability and makes it explode or something idk
Will have to see how big the scope of these talents will be
Highkey I’m kinda down for more distinction and choice between bleeds and poisons
Inb4 they just add a talent “dragon tempered blades now allows for a third lethal poison”
Zzzz
Actually... In terms of THEME I kinda wish we were actually just poison. Like HARD poison. Borderline alchemy murder man vibe. Since ninja is in sub.
Leave bleed to the druids.
Low-key if they make a bleed focused shiv talent I’d fuck with it, maybe not old exsanguinate though
Gota cut people to inject the venom after all
Poison wind globadiers
Yoooo skaven rogue bis
That's my poison man
Deathmaster sknich
Chemical warfare class
Legion 2.0 poison bomb xd
Tbf they could give us epidemic in some fashion
Listen... I don't wanna have to tell tanks to not move again lol

Sad thing is I wouldn’t put it past them
After spending like two hours writing a forum post bitching about tww rogue
PB PROC TANK DONT MOVE PBPBPB!
My faith in blizz ain’t high
Stab
as fatebound
First intermission is adarus, have your mark on him for it
dont play fatebound on soulhunters lol
2nd is the havoc dh chick
Also apparently my Need roll on the Heroic Loom dagger counted towards my alotted two Need rolls per week, despite being the only Rogue and thus the literal only person that could use it

Legit go bleed build on shunters
Brother what?
she?
Let me speak to your guild, this can’t be real

Double check dungeon journal, I think she is the havoc
k
There's no fucking way she's a dh now
yesh shi is
How much more will demon hunters steal
Is it alright that my dm comes up half way in hunger on saladbar
or should i hold dm for salad
I mean they’re stealing void ray from old demo lock 🙂
I lost the roll on the SOul Hunters tier token because I won the Heroic Loom dagger and then the Forgeweaver trinket

First meta
Now this
I hate demon hunters
My cooldowns dont exactly line up with the hunger
Ngl it’s crazy that they’d not just give you the dagger but forge trink goes hard
We shouldn’t really be given it if I’m being honest
Unless you plan to play sub 2x on use
men they are on discord talking about mechanics
I'm going to throw on this boss so hard
Wait what? What's the problem with the dh chick?
Go hard as in good?
I don't know any mechanics
Who do people think she is?
just do rotation and dodge shit on the ground
Yes, very good - bis for ds
buff rogue pls
It’s desirable for a lot of other classes too
Yeah, which means I don't get Prism if if drops if we kill Fract
I wasn't thinking the Dagger counted so I was holding rolls for Prism
then dont need on trinkets that are useless for assa inside the raid 😐 ?
@cunning needle what are we thinking dh stole?
Wait nvm I'm stupid
What about her?
Oh right right. Nah she's a nobody
ok cool
Girl boss
You can say you want double on use for sub for prog
also only mm and ww want nether prism
It’s not that contested
The con of this approach is you have to learn sub if you don't already know it
isnt there a warlock spec aswell
no wait that was forge nvm
Sub isn't hard to learn
I mean how bad could double on use be for fatebound even
You don't know my group 
???
Clearly not, can you imagine being lucky one week and infinite leather drops but you can only roll on 2 pieces 😭
just say the rogue discord said it was good
ok raid is pulling
whos gonna check?
wishe me luck
I mean we are the rogue discord xd
when talking to the guild
idk sounds like Communism
Me
and yet noone is ever looking for a rogue in recruitment
We don’t snitch on our own
It’s one of these 1x classes
I wouldnt
V rare to need multiple being melee without any great raid utility
Literally. I freak the fuck out of so many players when I distract mobs in keys.
Noone knows a thing about us anymore other than "kinda complex . Cbf."
maybe if we had a real raid buff like deathgrip 
Personally when I was RL I always opted to push for answers about specs I wanted myself rather than expecting my people to just have them
Any RL worth half their salt will easily realize that certain specs cant do certain things
The issue is rogue can get real complex real fast from an outsiders perspective
Just showing people the outlaw faq scares them away half the time
Outlaw 
I simply would not allow my raiders to play outlaw

Its sin or bust
Is it normal for our cooldowns to come back half way through kings hunger on saladar
Sorry not sorry
we love the MF ult
Trying to explain sub to someone who doesn't play it is the worst.
So you have 2331 cds. You use them all at the same time. Especially these ones. But they don't have the same cd. But you use them on cd.
"bro what?"
I understood this explanation perfectly fine
Trust me it makes sense when you play it
Yep, if we were any other class they’d make dance give symbols and the CDs all line up
just tell them it's ddr for your fingers - once you know the right sequence it's all over
True me bro smh my head
then we're playing like ret pally or something
yuck
I dunno bro if you dont know why forge isnt a good trinket on assa this tier I cant really help you
Sorry, I think I had a stroke
Look at dk, apoc gives dark transformation, pillar gives remorseless winter
I remember you complained in nerubar when you didnt get the poison ring because you didnt know it procs the same for every class
It’s not just ret anymore
Explain like I'm dumb pls
Mage cds giving rune was the first example of this
Rune was cringe
