Dont think that boss is doable without sub from the looks of it

#

He’s omega carrying on demand dmg

golden loom
#

like if the add was alone on the platform then fatebound would crank

winged sun
#

Those adds have a ton of dmg requirement

golden loom
#

but sadly it kinda nerfs itself garf

winged sun
#

Legit impossible to kill without sub hes pumping them out the wazoo

winged sun
#

Back to square one

#

Sub looks rly powerful on prog this tier kinda cool

#

Especially on forgeweaver pre nerf

#

That shit was wild

golden loom
#

ye

winged sun
#

That boss was specifically designed for echo/liquid

golden loom
#

im just happy that by the time I get there assa is completley fine garf

winged sun
#

Till it got roasted

winged sun
#

Looks like an omega hard fight

golden loom
#

yeah and stacking raid buff and another turboboost

#

like that add will be omega 1 shot

winged sun

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

winged sun
#

Echo/liquid are omega struggling still

#

On dimensius

golden loom
#

like you know how the add is like 60/70% within like 5 seconds of them slamming down with stellar cores + big dps

wide berry
#

Doable on sin heroic tho I assume?

golden loom
#

imagine that in 1 or 2 months

#

that add will legit die

normal mist

#

2 on use best sim in bleed build ?

normal mist
#

i mean

#

eh

buoyant herald
#

More to do with dslice than bleed id expect

#

hello, how do i use netherprism at raid fatebound

either macro to dm

hardy dawn
#

guys do u think is always worth to play around Sudden demise?

buoyant herald
#

It’s never worth to play around it

#

Unless you just want to roll over low keys

hardy dawn
#

ye but for example on 2nd boss of Dawnbreaker it looks super worth

#

spreading rupture on adds

buoyant herald
#

You’d want to do some of that anyway for scent of blood stacks and energy

buoyant herald
#

Not for demise value so much

fallow canopy
#

And getting the 5t CT on the boss

ornate osprey
#

but like, do i use at pull dm and 3rd dm or 2nd and 4th dm

buoyant herald
#

I usually save my vanish charges for that boss since I’m a dirty padder

#

Yeah that too boli

Hey guys, what should i focus on the most? Rn im 2/4 set with posibble 4/4 set, but i also have a option to upgrade to a myth set and still be 2/4 (3/4 with catalyst.) is it better to go with myth item or just get 4p asap?

brittle shuttle
#

u get catacharge next reset, id personally wait for that and vault before catalyzing anything

main bridge
#

!tier

prisma monolithBOT
#

Get your Season 2 Two Piece immediately, as it is a very powerful gain, stronger than both previous bonuses combined. This is true for both hero talents. The 4 piece is another big step up in dps for both hero talents on top of that.

drowsy geyser
#

ok so get myth later, now just 4p

#

ty for help!

drowsy geyser
#

it will help my raid i guess

static glacier
#

will it really

#

be honest

#

you're 1/14 dps

drowsy geyser
#

not that much fr

static glacier
#

id hold if you get multiple myth catalysts off if you hold

#

if you're progging and need dmg send

#

otherwise consider holding

drowsy geyser
#

i think im still doing better then most of the raid with 2/4

#

so ye

west crown
#

If you aren’t first in line for mythic raid loot. Send it

drowsy geyser
#

ill go for myth upgrade rather then set

#

long term is better i guess

#

one less item i have to worry about

I have huge problems with st energy, am i just spamming too much envenoms?

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.

yeah i hate it i lose mark every time

i swapped to sub

light nimbus

its cringe

And to many adds to play fatebound

hasty aspen
#

what is this ?

main bridge
#

Bug fix

#

What kind of answer are you looking for

hasty aspen
#

how much damage we loses after this

midnight atlas
#

whispyr said spatter was double dipping or so.

hasty aspen
#

prev week i was doing lot more damage

midnight atlas
#

it was doing 48% now 40%

hasty aspen
#

this week my damage is going under way too much

balmy condor
#

It’s 20% nerf to caustic

#

Like weasel said

wide berry
#

Details about to expose me tonight then

royal lantern
#

week1 is always a meme

spice surge
#

Roughly a 3-4% nerf to overall compared to before

#

Depending on a bunch of stuff

midnight atlas
light nimbus
#

Yeah

golden loom
#

im gonna change that

light nimbus
#

Im just gonna play fatebound

spice surge
#

Its moreso sub being really good rather than assa being really bad

#

But ye mark is cringe

light nimbus
#

and be at least more comfortable

midnight atlas
#

well you're gonna fight for rank 1 assa on araz mythic

#

its gonna be 3 ppl

golden loom
#

well if 1 guy is playing fatebound atleast I wont be last

balmy condor
#

True

#

Gives me hope

midnight atlas
#

i wish fatebound had some sort of buffing caustic to compete in aoe.
have deathstalker be funnel and fatebound a bit more cleave

how bad can it be..

balmy condor

Pretty bad

sudden brook

And salamander

So without even looking at anything else

#

Yeah.

main bridge
midnight atlas

a lot of ppl on heroic araz play with the bleed m+ build

so you got baited into doing that

Yeah that’s schizo

ANyone else missing their portal to Halls of Atonement?

balmy condor
#

I still think bleed build on soul hunters is just entirely incorrect but it’s probably good enough and it’s not a dps check so whatever

grave trail
#

Deathmark sucks on street as well

golden loom
dense rapids
#

I also messed up my soul hunters damage, just no idea how to play aoe fights, but my M+ damage is fine

balmy condor
golden loom
#

like this was my opener cause the fuckers wouldnt be close enough to garrote OMEGAKEKW

#

cleave garrote to all of them*

balmy condor
#

On soul hunters you cast 2 deathmarks in nearly 6 minutes

midnight atlas
balmy condor
#

9 ruptures in 5:45 is for sure not enough

midnight atlas
#

thats a boss so outlaw ppl can be happy

balmy condor
#

Like you’re just not spreading ruptures and you’re not pressing your CDs idk

coral ibex
balmy condor
#

6 casts of shiv in 5:45 is insane

#

Your tier set is entirely based around shiv

Ive done like 5 today alone

#

Its not showing up

coral ibex

hmm

#

weird

dense rapids

Okay more ruptures on everybody and more dry shivs

it was bugged before

Should have just got the HoA portal in shadowlands

but i got my portal yesterday

golden loom
#

yeah I got my portal today

dense rapids
#

Where should I be using vanish on Soul hunters?

midnight atlas
#

if u drop mark in intermission i guess but i played only a bit of assa there

balmy condor
#

After intermissions or when they’re stacked in execution

dense rapids
#

Okay gotcha and just make sure mark is on the boss about to go into intermission beforehand?

midnight atlas
#

yeah

balmy condor
#

Not that low

main bridge
#

It’s not based on loot you already received

#

That is impressive though

its 50% you either get it or not 🧌

ye but i specced into outlaw

#

after i got it

runic hinge
#

I was gonna say

midnight atlas
#

i haven't got the dawn of infinite daggers during all s3 dragonflight so its possible you NEVER get pacemaker

twilit cargo

that was my highest count

#

that dagger

in s3

until now

#

flood beat it

i had 30 dawn runs

#

im genuinly curious

#

of the %

that im having rn

40 runs 1/6 2/5 chance

midnight atlas
#

wowhead says its 3-4% chance to drop so idk.

twilit cargo
#

pacemaker?

#

does it have diff drops

#

than others

midnight atlas
#

yeah but IDK how they calculate percentage drops on wowhead

#

might be bait

main bridge

I think you need to be running the wowhead client to contribute to that

ez, find a guy who got it first try and go there with him again

Damage breakdown of a +9 Dawn:
Been following the guides on rotation but still learning as it's a lot to track with bleeds, but I guess I'm not rupturing enough - perhaps low on splatter as well, no?

Post logs if you want to analyze performance

#

Details not really useful

midnight atlas
#

i think my char is cursed with loot. full LFR, 2xNormal runs and 1 hc run. no tier in vault, no tier won by rolls.

haughty flicker
#

you only really send enough ruptures to get max scent stacks so you're probably rupturing enough

#

hard not to

Where’s the deathmark?

raven trench
#

@balmy condor for fatebound single target , When im at high coin streaks is it worth to send rupture at 4cp since envenom has more chance to match the same coin i have?
or holding spenders at high streaks when im near cd like 4-5sec is worth ?

near flame
twilit cargo
static glacier
#

I normally stop at 7 or 9

unless its a massive pull and tank takes forever to group, then I spread as many as i can while he groups

i just send all

withut looking at anything

near flame

static glacier
#

the holding a streak is interesting

#

but 4cp rupture aint it

spice surge
#

Only reason to track coins is to feel good when you proc and feel bad when you lose the streak

spice surge
#

Theres no decision based on what stacks you have or anything

raven trench
spice surge
#

What for

midnight atlas
#

one little crit and there goes your 4cp plan

static glacier
raven trench
#

like 5sec before cd so u can get 22 of one and go like 6-7 another

static glacier
#

since we have infinite energy in dm, any energy you pool before it is wasted

raven trench
#

not getting 5 6 of each

spice surge
#

What

when you get 19 tails in a row but the 20th is heads

last zephyr

what is the 2 tiersetbonus DPS diff for m+?

spice surge
#

The coins only last 15s

#

You cant hold for long

raven trench
# spice surge What

lets say i have 15 heads , if i send finisher i may get tails , i hold 5sec , send cd so i secure going on 20 or more

static glacier
#

the question is maintaining the streak better than firing 2-3 finishers

please do not invent the fatebound mutilate soup garf

or only heads

haughty flicker

But I mean how often do you have a 15 stack right before cds

golden loom
#

I mean I even had a 30 streak of tails in this log and the lucky coin still did 2%

haughty flicker
#

i dont even get 15 streaks period

static glacier
#

no idea, i purposefully dont track coins for my mental health

oh dear god

why we dont open with ambush in fatebound build for st in raid ? is there any good reason for that ?

Yea idk

I recognize I am probably part of the minority when I say this

#

But I cannot stand when people wanna track stupid shit

#

Stuff that is either insanely easy to do or just has no point in being tracked

frozen glacier
#

@winged sun what happened to that guy that argued with you saying ass rogue doesnt lose single target to tanks OMEGAKEKW

thorn thorn
#

And everytime I ask why the answer is almost always some "What if" scenario that should never happen

midnight atlas
#

yeah what if i need to track recuperator to know if i need to pot here or i live

thorn thorn
#

My favorite was from back when auto tea was added

#

They wanted to track their energy so they could tea to have enough energy to feint

golden loom
#

I do not care what other people track cause I am not playing with their UI

midnight atlas
#

dont they have like a bar for energy?

#

and feint is almost free

thorn thorn

midnight atlas

you guys saw that shooter guy that put electrodes in his arm and made like an IRL aimbot that shocks his arm and makes him shoot?

i think wow players would do that if weakauras allowed it

Another classic was right after tea was added and this guy was having a literal melt down over the change

midnight atlas
humble verge
#

saw that guy

#

lmao

thorn thorn
#

And everytime whispyr or someone else would say it didnt matter and to just macro it to shiv

#

His response was literally "but what if it did matter"

#

2 seasons later

#

Still doesnt matter

#

Fancy that

midnight atlas
#

assa feels nice with the button bloat removal lately

#

deathstalker doesnt play kb, macro shiv to envenom, macro cb to kb when fatebound. ez life

thorn thorn

I despise this KB-less era of sin

#

In M+

vocal seal
#

yoo gamers !

can someone look at my log and tell me what i might be doing wrong ? i feel like splatter should be higher ?

midnight atlas
#

its an ez life, i dont get mad when pugs focus my kb target and it dies before i can even do 2nd shiv

manic haven
#

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, and i know the answer is to sim yourself but just as a general query, why do all guides have mastery as our best stat but then reccomend crit enchants and crit heavier gems?

main bridge
#

A lot of people don’t want to sim or don’t know how so they put that stuff there. The best answer is generally to sim because everyone has different gear

#

All stats exist in a balance so there is never one stat you stack forever

dapper halo
#

i got 4set, as a murderhobo, what do i change in my rotation (bleed buildfor m+)

thorn thorn

The mage discord has a guide on how to sim

Lots of resources on how to sim available

#

does it make sense to take Sudden Demise in 10+ keys when trash lives too long? it deals only about 4% damage overall

spice surge
#

Yes

#

The strongest part of sudden demise is the passive bleed damage

balmy condor
#

it's also 15% bleed damage passively yeah

haughty flicker

sudden demise is passive bleed damage

The execute that shows up on details is just a bonus

It’s always on top 3 for me

splatter applies when rupture is on target and you mutilate it right ?

It’s almost passive if you’re doing your rotation correctly

Yes

why no high dmg

#

Are you actively tracking it?

vocal seal
#

i have it in my WA

fresh kelp
midnight atlas
#

tracking and executing are 2 different things.

thorn thorn
#

Also like

midnight atlas
#

also, the dmg from it is spread from target and from you, whispyr has a video on it. so stay in mobs

thorn thorn
#

Why would you want to trade it for a talent that will do less than shiv

fresh kelp
#

in fact, the first time you applied your mark was over 5 minutes into the key

#

so you just didn't have a hero tree until then

thorn thorn
dapper halo
#

stupid question, should you put deathmark on something even if the mob is just about to do, just so you have done it

midnight atlas
#

no

dapper halo
#

thought so

midnight atlas
#

you put it on prio target not just randomly its a dot that doubles your existing dots

dapper halo
#

yea

midnight atlas
#

so you want full value from it

vocal seal
#

but i'll try to focus on using ambush more

fresh kelp
#

Your caustic is low because you’re not using your hero tree

#

Your caustic uptime is fine

#

Mostly fine

analog field
#

caustic spatter is irrelevant to hero tree

#

so not having mark is a dps loss but not connected to spatter

marble tusk
#

how does the heroic tree affect caustic spatter?

vocal seal
#

hunt them down does plague dmg and thats poisson ?

fresh kelp
#

It’s a huge source of nature damage?

#

What

thorn thorn
#

It has a lot of nature damage dotted across it

#

The lions share will be envenom

fresh kelp
#

It is most definitely connected to spatter

thorn thorn
#

But the amount from the mark and its effect isnt nonexistent

analog field
#

you said he didnt apply spatter

#

so hero tree doesn't matter that he didn't press mutilate

vocal seal
fresh kelp
#

He did for most of the key just not that pull

midnight atlas
#

plague damage = nature + shadow

analog field
#

but going 5 minutes without mutilate/ambush is crazy no ?

dapper halo
#

also with the four set, should i use shiv without much thought, or is there some meta thing to do

thorn thorn
#

Not using spatter and not having the hero bonus are equally terrible

#

And you should not ever have neither

fresh kelp
midnight atlas
#

minmax sweaty strat is to use shiv during darkest night so you don't burn dm stack

dapper halo
#

hm okai

#

we are talking about caustic spatter why are you keep bringing dsm up

i'm gonna go back to playing paladin and complaining my spec ist rank 1 in everything

True

vocal seal

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.

Definitely big pulls on every boss that u can pull things on in every key

Dslice

Not just rogue

hollow fulcrum

cuz for boomy it was always patchwerk no matter what but some people would use dungeon slice for other specs

winged sun

If u ask me

My personal opinion would be dslice is cooked

#

Its not an assa thing

#

Just a general class sim kind of cooked

hollow fulcrum
#

is the coding just ass

#

ah

normal mist
#

I mean its just a guideline

winged sun

I never had a single m+ run that does dslice pulls

U can easily double dps any spec in the game

only way is for your tank to grab adds onto the boss

#

Do you use shiv befoer or after deathmark?

winged sun

Wdym

#

Just play correctly

i try to avoid playing correctly

#

then people start expecting me to do good damage and stuff

strange surge
winged sun
#

Ive never seen restealth actually crank this many numbers in my life ngl

strange surge
#

and its 0dps for everyone, so multiply it by 3.5

normal mist
#

not doing dps is 0 dps

strange surge
#

so you're effectively just "consentrating" your damage, by resetting between pulls. which makes details go Stonks

normal mist
#

Again, it does feel like shit when chaining isnt done properly

strange surge
#

but key timer go not_stonks

winged sun

If ur assa is gonna solo the entire pack
