The 4pc is much better for bleed than hybrid/ cleave too

As you use shiv much more in bleed

guys any good weakauras for m+ here?

#

I use Devlins and the S3 dungeons WA

balmy condor
#

those aren't specific to m+ mind you

#

those are just assa trackers

quasi ledge
#

New to assa or new to M+?

balmy condor
#

but yeh, just anything that lets you track your stuff

#

and then bigwigs or a dungeon wa or something

stark matrix
prisma grail
#

yea i got that one, do you guys use anything that lets you track rupture?

#

or just look at the nameplate

#

basically use my eyes 😄

golden loom
#

the wa packs track rupture but also platers usually track them

#

personally I look more at the name plates for pandemic timers and such but depends on what you are used to

arctic dust
#

When tracking scent of blood in M+ it shows the 4% stacks I gained per enemy ruptured. However I dont want to calculate, I want to go braindead and get an easy way to know the amount of mobs I have a rupture on. Somebody know how to set that up in a WA?

zealous skiff
balmy condor
#

is that more useful for people?

#

my wa counts scent stacks but like idk

#

either I see 20 and I go "20 is max scent, no more rupture"

zealous skiff
#

I think I am wired differently

balmy condor
#

or I see 5 and I go "5 rupture is max scent, no more rupture"

arctic dust
#

5 seems less to read 😇

balmy condor
#

I mean I guess

dim nymph
#

Personally I just like seeing 5/5 it is a bit easier to glance at

balmy condor
#

would it help to color it as well?

dim nymph
#

devlins wa tracks it and he just keeps it white lol

#

but i can see how color would be nice

balmy condor
#

I mean my wa tracks it too

#

but it just tracks scent stacks

#

instead of the rupture amount

dim nymph
#

i mean the way its tracked is just number of ads not % of

balmy condor
#

yeah sure

#

idk, makes no difference to me

#

I can change that real quick

arctic dust
#

how though?

dim nymph
#

i could easily get used to both but maybe make it make it a personal setting people can change if they want if you do those with your wa's

balmy condor
stray panther
#

is netherprism better than lily with 4p?

balmy condor
balmy condor

#

Maybe just make a standalone wa?

I'm sure it would be beneficial to someone at some point lol

I never understood why people need scent weakaura, if you rupture twice in a pack you have full scent

#

ok im starting to get tired of netherprism

#

3m in the dummy in dornogal before every key

balmy condor
#

but it resets when you put your key in

real granite
#

nope

#

it doenst

marsh fjord
#

I’m pretty sure it does

#

Mine does atleast

#

i see the stacks buff in mine?

balmy condor

when the gate drops the stacks reset

Garotte on all targets and rupture only on 5?

How important is deathstalkers mark in AoE?

#

its your hero talent

worldly dock
#

What ??? We supposed to do rupture only on 5? And garrote on all?
I was doing rupture on all and garrote on few

sharp junco
#

I think I may have putten it on the side. Made some WA to track it better

warm vortex
real granite
#

mmh, actually, is there a targets threshold for sending fok instead of gar when still in IC?

warm vortex
#

If everything has gar you use FoK

#

If not
Gar

real granite
#

yeah, but when the pack is gathered, you are still in IC, still targets without gar, isnt there like a threshold where you rather fok instead of gar

#

you always gar in IC no matter how big the pull is?

cedar dagger
#

hey guys, i sometimes notice i have low energy

#

and then i keep autoattacking for decades

#

Do I need more haste?

quasi ledge
#

!energy

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.

New blizzard name plates they kinda look goed

oak tangle
#

but do it make mobs glow when they dont have rupture on them

#

does it make the big prio mob in the pack deadass Glowing to tell me "hit this one"

Thanks boys

ebon prism
#

In all m+ pulls, one of the highest priorities is keeping up rupture on 5 targets always right? And I only ever want to vanish when I have sbs up as well as needing to reapply or apply imp garrotes? Or would I ever vanish without sbs and just garrote garrote envenom into more garrotes?

golden loom
#

sbs is not something you track or care about

ebon prism
#

Oh ok

#

And when I use death mark or dry shiv, is there something I want to mostly prioritize? Like never reapplying ruptures or garrotes during them and only fok/muti into envenoms nonstop based on target count?

golden loom
#

well you build with garrote during IC, you re-apply ruptures when needed for scent otherwise ur just fok envenoming yeah

Does deathmark empower my envenoms at all? Or it just makes my bleeds do more to that target, and my shiv is really what's making the envenoms do more?

thank you @balmy condor, for a m+ push reroll aiming for maybe title or at least to get far in rating, would you advise nelf or dwarf? (or something else)

@balmy condor does ur wa have the rupture where you see how many mobs you have it on

balmy condor
#

I track the scent of blood stacks, not the ruptures themselves

dense cedar

tracks scent

balmy condor
#

but that's the same thing really

#

so yes

ebon prism
#

Whispyr does your WA pack tell me I'm pretty?

balmy condor
#

no it tells you to go touch grass

ebon prism
#

Oh that's useful too

Is having max scent of blood stacks one of the highest highest priorities in m+ AOE settings?

#

is the Umbral Essentia potion any good for M+ ?

rotund oak
dense cedar
#

its just shadowmeld on a potion

#

kinda waste of ur pot just to dodge like 1 attack or w/e

warm vortex
#

It’s good if your doing a meld skip and aren’t nelf

#

That’s it really

dense cedar
#

most of those require ur tank to be the one no?

#

shouldn't matter for roger player

warm vortex
#

Roger

proper nest
#

doesnt it give subterfuge proc and carnage ?

red schooner
warm vortex
#

Trol

balmy condor
rotund oak
balmy condor
#

But also

#

It does not give subterfuge

#

Because it’s meld

#

Meld doesn’t give subterfuge

#

You have to meld->stealth

warm vortex
#

Can you do that w the pot or nah? I assume so

balmy condor
#

I’m gonna be honest, I’ve never seen anyone use it

#

I assume you can

warm vortex
#

Yea I’ll stick to temp either way

spice surge
#

Presumably works exactly like meld does with all its jank

warm vortex
#

Tbh at this point I would have preferred meld be removed

pulsar plank
#

meld is only useful if your tank chain pulls and you are far away from the next pull and also remainder of the last pull mobs should not be able see through stealth

#

Also you dont want to waste a vanish or cloak stack and something channeling to you

Is there any specific dungeon it is better to swap to the hybrid build?

its so funny cus thats literally he first time we will ever have her as a CHARACTER that actually does something

Bro shiv is 11 seconds

yes

static glacier

#

you’re forgetting that shiv removes a stack of the mark

marsh fjord

so he gotta finish in 11 seconds.

#

No i dont

novel star
#

i wasn’t talking about the duration

marsh fjord
#

thats what i mean

#

if you shiv “on 1 stack” it goes to 0 stacks + dn..?

yeah you right

#

my wording is weird

#

No funnel is bad ST

#

aznd then you even have team mates pressing aoe abilities that still fuck you over

#

so get used to it

static glacier
#

We kinda put a lot of stats into mastery and haste which do nothing for it

#

Consider that it also stacks its damage over time, making it weaker in short fights and stronger in long fights

Hello guys, hope everyone is having a blast, I'm pretty new to wow, started playing it for the first time 2 week's ago, decided to go for assassination rogue, was wondering where i can check either a video on a proper rotation on how to time, use my spells, cause I've been lacking in dps , is there any recommendations regarding rotations, or a written in-depth guide?

marsh fjord
#

There is a lot of guides out there for you

#

He covers everything you need. from basic to advanced

minor coyote
#

That name sounds familiar, i think i read a guide from him somewhere

not sure where, but i think i remember that name

might or might not

if you are really new

Is sub spec better in streets key?

I feel like it's quite boss heavy, so sub might be a better shout for overall?

slim hamlet

Or should we switch to kingsbane build over bleed for streets?

# marsh fjord Have you seen the new name plates

Yea honestly every couple of hours I check wowhead and there is something new super nice stuff for midnight. They also keep yoinking systems from final fantasy and just simply making them better, so I know they will be useful. Very excited

minor coyote
slim hamlet
# marsh fjord Same.

The new nameplate stuff seemingly would make me not need addons at all tbh. The only thing I can think of is for the buff tracker, I assume you likely wont be able to have as much conditional stuff as with weakauras. I don't typically have very many conditions and rather keep it in my head when to actually use buffs, but for example with deathstalker I decided to make Clear the Witness only show in situations where I should actually be consuming it. Probably won't have that in base ui

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.

Guys, why is that neck /crit+haste/ from Streets recommended as BiS for us? Or how much haste %wise is recommended to run on Assa

slim hamlet
#

there are no breakpoints just whatever sims best

#

The BIS list besides cantrip effects, trinkets and such is just BIS when u have everything else, a different neck might be better for you now unless you had everything else on that list

#

BIS list is kinda meme material

half dawn
#

This is probably dumb AF min-maxing, but when playing ST build, is it better to press shiv slightly early or late around the 8s of KB left

slim hamlet
#

KB ticks every 2 seconds I believe it is, so as long as you get the same amount of ticks in it

half dawn
#

but this means you need shiv to cover last tick

#

which i assume is at 0

#

and last tick is the biggest no?

slim hamlet
#

yea

half dawn
#

so better to press at high 7s than low 9s

#

because at high 7 you lose some shiv value but you get the big hit

#

and the other way you dont cover the big hit

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.

I am rusty on the exact tick timings but I believe it is just every 2 seconds so with 0 - 2 - 4 - 6 left. I haven't really played while we only did one shiv so I haven't thought about it enough to be 100 sure tho

Why do you look like someone that directs a ball with dancers who are really fancy 😂

slim hamlet
#

would not be too difficult to test tho

fresh kelp
#

Kb should be full stacked long before then so covering more of dm is better

also depends on which hero talent with tier set right?

Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds
Broad rules and Section in Guide:

  1. If you have to ask, you should play bleed
  2. If you're not doing +20's or higher, you should play bleed
  3. Even if you're doing higher, you should probably play bleed
  4. No, Fatebound is not good, you play Deathstalker in every key.

Some general concepts as to why people play different things:

  • 11.2/Season 3: Bleed has gotten stronger through some buffs and the single target damage you get from singular focus is ridiculously good with the tier set. During PTR testing many high end rogues were just playing bleed everywhere.
  • Ease of play: Bleed build is simply the easiest to play due to subterfuge/no kingsbane/less need for giant prio targets
  • Boss damage: The cleave build is mainly for boss damage (note: not prio, there is no significant difference in prio). Assa single target in keys is pretty bad, and some bosses during season 2 were not possible on high keys otherwise. It remains to be seen what push keys in Season 3 will bring in that regard.
  • Specific Dungeons: Rookery as an example is very boss-heavy, especially the last boss, making bleed less ideal. Rookery is not in the rotation in Season 3, and there are a lot of AoE dungeons. Dawnbreaker might be a candidate, but unsure currently.
  • Where the damage is: Bleed spreads out its damage and does great overall due to sudden demise and powerful 3-8 target damage. Hybrid is competitve but doesn't pull ahead outside of low target cleave and higher target AoE. Cleave is for single target damage and insanely large aoe because of how much caustic and crimson tempest carry aoe damage. At the end of the day, the builds are extremely similar, but Bleed is looking to simply be the best.

re applying bleeds suck tbh

That's like THE flavour of assa

royal lantern

tf do you wanna do then??

#

mut mut envenom???

#

play fucking Classic for that omegalul

slim hamlet
#

probably cuz every other "dot" class can just click button to apply aoe without a big cd

#

so most people are just used to that

#

Dumb question here, with bleed build do we press Crimson Tempest in pure st ?

royal lantern
#

yes you do

burnt star
#

This

iron carbon
topaz spindle
#

hi guys, for pvp (specially blitz), do you use crimson tempest?

iron carbon
#

If you speaking about double shiv, your first shiv end at 7 sec left on kb, so you need to press between 8 and 7 sec left to have whole kb boosted by shiv

#

And I'm speaking without 4p ofc

slim hamlet

oh

#

sorry thanks

hollow whale
#

how is this breakdown as a overall for m+ (14hoa 7m overall)

iron carbon
#

Didn't play assa in key for a while but it seems okay

hollow whale
#

key felt like low dps maybe i have bad spatter dmg

iron carbon
#

You had a lot of restealth?

#

For having garrote that high?

hollow whale
#

yeah i got good resets

iron carbon
#

Nha, it make sense I think

hollow whale
#

big issue was it was a pug group so had to play wire for kicks

iron carbon
#

Just the uptime of dots trigger me but I don't remeber how it used to be on my details

#

And?

#

What did you drop for it?

hollow whale
#

1 point in lethal dose

royal lantern
#

thats

#

not smart

#

lol

#

if you drop something for Iron wire, its Master Assassin

hollow whale
#

should i have dropped master?

royal lantern
#

or lightweight shiv

hollow whale
#

fk i was in between them

royal lantern
#

but master assassin is better

#

taking out 1 point out of lethal dose is like what? 5% less dmg on almost all your stuff? dracthyr_kek

iron carbon
#

I would drop shiv

hollow whale
#

i am playing full bleed with 4 set tho

#

11 sec shivs is cool

iron carbon
#

But as I say, didn't play sin with 4p this season

royal lantern
hollow whale
#

i am dropping master assasin

iron carbon
#

Yes, it last 11 sec more, i got it

hollow whale
#

thanks

iron carbon
#

But would you prefer MA on boosted garrote + shiv

#

Or an additional shiv on no ma ?

hollow whale
#

i mean ofc ill lose dmg but i wonder whats the lowest dmg i lose for wire

iron carbon
#

Idk tbh, didn't test

iron carbon
#

Sim would say shiv, but it's cuz it proc 3 times MA cuz of double vanish

#

Best is testing

#

You do some keys with one talent set, others with another set and you compare overalls

royal lantern
#

a sample size of 1 is not a good comparison lol

iron carbon
#

Some keys =/= 1

royal lantern
#

and saying "it procs MA 3x cus of double vanish" shows a big lack of not understanding how sims work

iron carbon
#

Yes, I don't know the apl exactly, but last time I checked this, it was the case

#

But shoot, mister I'm so smart

royal lantern
#

dslice sims have restealths

#

and im just not making claims if im not 100% sure they are correct

summer viper
#

im curious - how do you prepare for bigpulls in m+? like lets say for example the first pull in flood - do you start dotting targets while the tank is gathering and then using a vanish to restealth to apply the death mark on the high prio mob and going on from there with your dm burst or do you wait till everything is gathered and starting spreading from there into your burst?

crisp venture
#

is there a meld stealth macro?

oblique slate
#

I wouldnt waste my vanish, just wait for tank to group em up and select a prio target

#

vanish if fight lasts long

marsh fjord
vocal seal
#

anyone got some numbers on how much those raid boots that increase dps weshi waps

iron carbon
#

DSlice got restealth, and? On 6 minutes, it will double vanish and proc MA once more in a 6 minutes fight that's a big benefit for this short time. But on a key, it's that that big

summer viper
marsh fjord
#

I dot what i can. and then when the first IC is over im in the middle of my IC. and then 6 seconds later i vanish again

#

but this is really depandant

#

on how the pack is living or not

iron carbon
#

So yes, sim will overpower MA and everything linked to the double stealth

summer viper
#

i kinda feel like slacking on decissionmaking at which point i just stop spreading garrots and ruptures and starting my dmg rotation

#

in those bigpulls

marsh fjord
#

I mean if you have dotted more then 5 targets. you are fine.

warm flint
#

try having 5 raptutes on imprtant mobs then you gucci. like remember ie. them little adds on hoa doesnt count where they get deleted instantly. so make sure you have 5 on important targets. garrot is wever, use it as much as you can during ic. its fine if everything has garrot but its fine also if they dont

# minor coyote Heya,

keybindings are overall preference based and will be mostly on your own muscle memory

BUT i can give some general tips tbh

like, do you really need cheapshot bound, when its a ability that gets used like once every 4 years and is stealth only

same with Sap on your basic bar, or shroud, those are abilitys you can put on a sidebar and click tbh

dense cedar
#

just a normal craft

#

so anyone with recipie can do it ezpz

crisp venture
#

are you able to sim the difference, its not letting me

#

select

#

for some reason

dense cedar
crisp venture
#

yea its not letting me, ive taken out the thing

just get the better one

@minor coyote #showtooltip Kidney Shot
/cast [mod:shift] kidney shot
/cast [stance:1/3/2] cheap shot
/cast [stance:0] kidney shot

can copypaste that macro, it basically uses cheapshot when you can use cheapshot, and otherwhise its kidney, so you only need 1 keybind for both abilitys

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

hey ppl, got a question, I'm relatively new as rogue and I kinda run low on energy easily, is it bc I don't let my character do enough basic attacks or is it normal to run low on energy in general?

#

bc sometimes I can't even play, I mean I run so low on energy I can't even use skills

clever sparrow
#

outlaw vs assa whichone easier to play pug?

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.

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.
