Fair enough
The 4pc is much better for bleed than hybrid/ cleave too
i just click buttons
As you use shiv much more in bleed
Cleave feels terrible to play this season
Most people probably don’t like playing cleave
who in the hell
and outside of deathmark its just shiv on cd for the set bonus right?

Wonder when he is going to die
And to whomst

Wasn’t there like a power out for echo or smth
feel like liquid going to bed with the boss at 17% means it probably lives for a while
I just remember someone saying gingie sent an EMP and it got spell reflected or something

thanks bro
I use Devlins and the S3 dungeons WA
New to assa or new to M+?
but yeh, just anything that lets you track your stuff
and then bigwigs or a dungeon wa or something
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 😄
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
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?
On my phone so can't link but I use a WA with conditions to convert 4 stacks of scent of blood into a "1" visual etc...
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"
I think I am wired differently
or I see 5 and I go "5 rupture is max scent, no more rupture"
5 seems less to read 😇
I mean I guess
Personally I just like seeing 5/5 it is a bit easier to glance at
would it help to color it as well?
devlins wa tracks it and he just keeps it white lol
but i can see how color would be nice
I mean my wa tracks it too
but it just tracks scent stacks
instead of the rupture amount
i mean the way its tracked is just number of ads not % of
how though?
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
depends how your weakaura is setup i guess
is netherprism better than lily with 4p?
that seems like a shit ton of work for one number
it's generally just always better
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

but it resets when you put your key in
i see the stacks buff in mine?
when the gate drops the stacks reset
when the gate drops...
Went back to zero stacks on timer to 0
ok fuck me

bro has spent hours hitting a dummy in dorn for no reason 

cause sometimes your spreaded rupture hits lil guys that dies midpull
sometimes the tank chains, also, idk i rather be checking the number than eye iterating every plate
yes
How important is deathstalkers mark in AoE?
What ??? We supposed to do rupture only on 5? And garrote on all?
I was doing rupture on all and garrote on few
I think I may have putten it on the side. Made some WA to track it better
I was doing gar and Rup until IC ends X)
Guess I was wrong too haha
mmh, actually, is there a targets threshold for sending fok instead of gar when still in IC?
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?
hey guys, i sometimes notice i have low energy
and then i keep autoattacking for decades
Do I need more haste?
!energy
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.
him rn
me when i readed "when the gate drops"
the game:
New blizzard name plates they kinda look goed
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"
which trinkets are yall going for fb when raid didnt drop?
lily + seaforium/anubikaj
ty
Mind linking this vid?
No vid. Just pictures on twitter. Later tonight it will be as a vod on YouTube on the wow channel
how do u tell the sim not to use netherprism on cd
!up
Whats the consensus on best trinkets for M+ that come from M+?
Sacbrood / Anub / Seaforium?
lily
Feel like you would play it in keys assuming you dont have access to raid trinekts at all
Signet would be better no? 5sec longer up time
Our new damage meters
oh yeah, guess so
anyone know how to sim with netherprism properly? because it just uses it on cd for me.
link the sim
!logs
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/
fk knows in reality I just use with deathmark so idk how to tell the sim that
Is it okay to macro Prism to vanish? I always forget it 
8 target 90 sec wtf
If you know you know

if u guys play m+, are you going off of st sims or ds sims?
wrist with embel
whats the embel called
starts with writhing
got it
thx
@crisp venture what stats do we put on? crit/mastery or haste/mastery?
i sim
probably crit/mast but just sim it
Thanks boys
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?
sbs is not something you track or care about
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?
well you build with garrote during IC, you re-apply ruptures when needed for scent otherwise ur just fok envenoming yeah
hey guys
i am confused by fatebound hero talent my stats are fine gear is decent and rotaition too but still lack of dps according warcraft logs / season 2 with death mark everything was fine
do u have a log to show us
Finally work break
well you have 0 vanish casts as fatebound
sendd
that is not good
what in the cursed fucking sim
jesus
Like let's say one or two of my rupture targets falls off so I only have 3 ruptures, but my death mark and 2 shiv charges are up. What's my priority? Fok to rupture 2 more targets so I'm back to 5? Or just ignore rupture for now until I use death mark and spam fok envenom, with muti to keep up spatter then get my rupture back to 5 targets after dm is done?
loool
you didn't vanish ever
seems to be using the trinket fine though
well u will also vanish during deahtmark so you can send 1 ruptre during it which gets you enough scent stacks
crazy work
but u can also refresh before
whats the benefit of doing vanish in fatebound
this is always the case in M+ 
WHISPYR
what buffs would you select :)?
MAKE IT A ! COMMAND PLEASE
double jeopardy
I wouldn't even sim 1:30 patchwerk aoe to begin with 
Ok what would you suggest?>
dslice
whats the best time to use vanish?
ok
but yeh idk, trinket use on that sim is fine
After cooldowns used, before you've used both cold blood envenoms
the only weird thing I guess is that it uses the trinket towards the end
@sterile fractal you are also just dry coldblooding for no reason
In that window
Crims said to use patchwork 8 targ 1:30min always for all chars
but that's normal
who tf is crims
does he play rogue
that's really fucking cringe
ok well, that's where I got my info from is all. Will use slice from now on, ta.
so yu mean using cold blood only during kingsbaane?
yes u macro it to kingsbane
idk he seems to be a 4k io mage player from what I can see
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?
if you have amp poison, doubling amp poison would empower envenom
otherwise no
yeh idk, I only pay attention to rogues and I've never heard of him
mages 
Hey, should I keep garrote on prio target in aoe?
leme see i get t hat right / after starting rotaition and using cd + cold blood i use vanish?
yes
hey, does the nelf invis let you regain your out of invisibility buff? I thought so but i'm seeing a lot of rogue player are actually dwarves
and rest does not matter right? Rupture should do it
you can vanish just before DM if you want to
when it works
Pretty much, use vanish, continue with rotation
that's a big if
correct, most of your energy will come from rupture cause you need to have 5 out for scent of blood
just looking at a mob keeps me in combat a lot
they're shy bro

if someone is playing dwarf its because they've been cursed by the old ones
pay them no mind
I mean dwarf is also just good
having a defensive button is good
having an offensive button is good
buttons are good
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)
i just don't like em

i'd rather they were all playing goblin or something
play whatever you want
tnx guys for help

most rogues last season were playing mag'har and it wasn't even really better than regular orc, they just swapped to it cause it got buffed and was good and they wanted to 
@balmy condor does ur wa have the rupture where you see how many mobs you have it on
yes
I track the scent of blood stacks, not the ruptures themselves
tracks scent
Whispyr does your WA pack tell me I'm pretty?
no it tells you to go touch grass
Oh that's useful too
the whispyr plater will laugh at you behind your back
Is having max scent of blood stacks one of the highest highest priorities in m+ AOE settings?
weird, it does tell me that I'm pretty, maybe you need to reinstall whispyrcompliments.ogg
Whispyr "Hiya" sound when you break stealth
I LOVE this
Can we make that and make it an official link in the !WA command?
I play goblin cause it’s cool
nice
:D

I play human coz I hate being stunned
But id reroll to kobold instantly if it becomes a thing tho
I could be one with my rats
I'd reroll to ethereal or arakoa instantly if I could
is the Umbral Essentia potion any good for M+ ?
wdym
its just shadowmeld on a potion
kinda waste of ur pot just to dodge like 1 attack or w/e
Roger
doesnt it give subterfuge proc and carnage ?
me with troll
Trol
It shares a cooldown with the regular tempered potion
orcs are cool
But also
It does not give subterfuge
Because it’s meld
Meld doesn’t give subterfuge
You have to meld->stealth
Can you do that w the pot or nah? I assume so
Yea I’ll stick to temp either way
Presumably works exactly like meld does with all its jank
Tbh at this point I would have preferred meld be removed
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
ngl im not having a fun time first time in the HC raid
Meld and stealth combat effects both

Yo! im just wondering, when doing 14/15 keys, its kinda starting to slack with ST with bleed build
Is there any specific dungeon it is better to swap to the hybrid build?
I feel like dawnbreaker for example is cancer

pfft let others do the ST you're just here for the mobs 
do u have netherprism? ur parse will be blue or lower until you do.
I mean I‘m currently swapping to sub for streets and dawnbreaker on 14 braket
Dont know if its the Right Play tho
Never swap to hybrid
it absolutely stinks
Bleed is 100000000 million times better
its so funny cus thats literally he first time we will ever have her as a CHARACTER that actually does something
all in for that, using character is good
still some guys plays hybrid in some keys, like dawn or hoa, dunno if they'r just testing or cause the setup
if they do. they are putting themself behind
Hybrid sucks real bad
Hi, Should we dry shiv on DN, or on 2 or 1 stack of Deathstalker's Mark ?
If you have the tierset you’d want to use it on 1-2 marks
Otherwise on dn
Ok thanks 🙂
Is it normal to be so bad in Single Target with the M+ Bleed Build?
You just want dn under shiv but without wasting 4pc mark effect
Shiv is 8 seconds. if you shiv on 1 stack. you need to finish 2 times in 8 seconds. if you can do that. then you press yes
forgetting ds 4p
nope that’s 2p
Its insane, i cant compete with anyone st... o.o
Bro shiv is 11 seconds
yes
It’s not as bad as last season, we can compete if we get good killtimes for dm, still not great though
you’re forgetting that shiv removes a stack of the mark
i wasn’t talking about the duration
thats what i mean
if you shiv “on 1 stack” it goes to 0 stacks + dn..?
be ready to be losing against tank wars when they can perma reflect shit

For assa Screams of a Forgotten Sky is a good option? i cant find any info on the tier list in wowhead or other pages
sim yourself
all good beast
I lost against Blood DK on one boss, i was like wtf
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
The trinket is primarily an option / good for classes that have some way of increasing its damage inherent to their spec (eg dh crit dmg from talents, outlaw super high crit chance from bte / rp, mm hunter crit chance and damage)
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
How do you deal with Situations like the first Pull in Gambit?
Spreading Garrotes and Ruptures, doing CT but when I start funneling most of the lower HP Mobs are already dead
Then is a a good option similar to the bloodsac that gives dmg and agility?
Spread 5 ruptures, ct and start envenoming, that pack is carried by ct and spatter
You just do it like every pull?
Apply mark. rupture/rupture/garrote/garrote/CT/mut/deathmark/shiv
I’d personally prefer blood sac over it at similar ilvl, you can simply sim though
You put all the damage in the big guy.
im gonna try to do that
thx
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?
Go to youtube. and type in whispyr rogue
There is a lot of guides out there for you
He covers everything you need. from basic to advanced
That name sounds familiar, i think i read a guide from him somewhere
not sure where, but i think i remember that name
He might be the writer of the Wowhead Assassination Rogue guide
He is our wowhead writer. + our cutie patootie.
might or might not
oh! i see
thank you, i'll check him out on youtube
i did read the guide on wowhead, but i need visual now
I knew it would happen, trust. Insider info
I hope they do something special for rogues in delves because she is also a rogue

valeera my goat
do u guys have pots marcod to dm or use it manually?
yeye manual
In m+ i have it to my DM
In raid i press it myself. because there are damage amps and different lust timings
so u dont hold the pot when u know a boss fought after 2 packs ?
and just perma send potion on cd
pot is just another cd
I just send it to DM
A pot without cooldowns is completely useless
Yeah thats what i said right?
but ull use deathmark 2 packs before
with pot up
thats what i mean
then 1 pack no cd
Yeah the ni dont have pot up for boss
Sometimes i do. depends on pulling really.
the special thing about rogues already exist, it is to let you skip 95% of the delve
It was such a pain going from rogue to another class and having to actually kill things
are these like combo points and debuffs on boss
good enough
to keep track of all the important stuff
Is sub spec better in streets key?
I feel like it's quite boss heavy, so sub might be a better shout for overall?
Besides if you want to see your subterfuge/IC/imp garrote buff. You will also need at least some way to track your Darkest Night buff
Or should we switch to kingsbane build over bleed for streets?
Also will likely want numbers on those debuffs to know when to use shiv, vanish and stuff
thats what i wanted to ask
the seconds showing there
would be so nice
but idk where to add
hmm base blizzard UI I assume? idk if you can until Midnight expansion when they update nameplates massively tbh
anyone can tell me assa rotation and gos for pvp
hahaha yeah its nice
Have you seen the new name plates
they actually look really nice
this is gonna sound like a dumb question but has anyone got the dawnbreaker dagger on hc track yet? ive done 25 runs and ive not even seen it drop
yeah it dropped a few times for me
when i was farming the ring
Honestly. i dont think its worth farming that dagger
Hi - is there a well regarded youtuber who puts out video guides for rogue / assa that someone could direct me toward please?
Type in the name whispyr
🙂
there isnt a better dagger from m+?
thanks very much will do that
Any log understanders and optimization knowers wanna help out with my log? Looking to minmax a couple of things
im currentrly running the 720 MH and a 8/8 adventurer OH
there isnt you right. but what i mean is that there are so many daggers that you can farm and the difference is so little
There are also two daggers from raid
If you have a shitty one. yeah you can farm it.
i dont raid, and if im going to farm an m+ one, i want to farm the best one
yeah then dawnbreaker is your best bet
although i might unsub before it drops at this point
Sure. can always look over it
Thank you, forwarding it to you in DMs
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
Same.
welp
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
time to watch a movie
the extended cut
behind the scenes
with minecraft easteregg
I juset want them to do colours based on bleeds. if they do i dont need plater anymore. which is nice

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.

/cast Cold Blood
/cast Kingsbane
Assassination uses no other macros aside from standard Deathmark+Potion+Racial+Trinket
I doubt since they directly said "we dont want addons to be able to change for example nameplate colours on conditions" or very similar to that quote
Yeah but that sucks tho
I mean it could just mean only addons and they have it in base game, but why tho
I guess if you are used to it
I never used it so idk 
Damage feels great in M+ with sin, but bottom barrel discount in raid. Anyone else feeling this way?
No
Awesome, glad we're not all suffering. Maybe I'm just bad. Can I see your logs, maybe I'm missing something.
Deathstalker feels very shit for me in raid, fatebound is a different story
With 4 set? I only have 3 so far, maybe the 4th peice makes it better.
i only have 2 set right now
but even when i didn't have any tier bonuses, fb felt way better
maybe i'm just happy we're kinda freed from the shackles that is deathstalker's mark
Feels better, yea. But are we talking top 5 dps in your raid? Or middle of the pack
oh well i'm falling behind pretty significantly compared to my guildies because all of them have their 4 set for their respective classes
so right now lower middle i'd say, for me at least
and we'll have to wait for monday to see how i'll do with 2-set
Well good luck!
Well now I'm going to embarrass myself with my average logs
I'll do better now I've got 4 set 😭

+10% dps boost transmog
@balmy condor can you tell me how I can alter the pandemic thing in your plater profile?
I wanted to use it for other classes (moonkin)
I can in 1 min
Honestly 90% of my damage comes from the transmog, it's certainly not ability
Idk if he uses the same script as mine does, but I assume so since I only ever saw this one. Go in plater - Scripting - search pandemic or similar - copy and paste it for your new one - click on it - add new trigger for the debuff u wanna have pandemic for (here garrote) and delete old one
oh and save bottom right
Anyone else swap to sub for the cleave/aoe fights? After being freed from deathstalkers mark I’m not too excited to get back into it lol
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
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
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
KB ticks every 2 seconds I believe it is, so as long as you get the same amount of ticks in it
but this means you need shiv to cover last tick
which i assume is at 0
and last tick is the biggest no?
yea
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
ok ty
Last 8 seconds for solo kingsbane, before dm and last 8 seconds of dm for big cds
yeah but nobody is pressing exactly on 8s
thats my whole q

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 😂
would not be too difficult to test tho
Slightly before
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?
!builds
Bleed vs Hybrid vs Cleave/FI builds
Broad rules and Section in Guide:
- If you have to ask, you should play bleed
- If you're not doing +20's or higher, you should play bleed
- Even if you're doing higher, you should probably play bleed
- 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.
in dragonflight classic
re applying bleeds suck tbh
That's like THE flavour of assa
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 ?
yes you do
Theres a w.a for kingbane with a clear indication on a bar of when to shiv. I use that. More visual to know when to press then to look for a number
This
Kb ticks ever 2 sec, you can't boost the ticks at 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 sec left with 1 shiv, unless you press at exactly 8,000 sec left. So you, in fact, you need to press between 8 and 6 sec left.
hi guys, for pvp (specially blitz), do you use crimson tempest?
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
We are all PVE andy's. There is a #pvp

how is this breakdown as a overall for m+ (14hoa 7m overall)
Didn't play assa in key for a while but it seems okay
key felt like low dps maybe i have bad spatter dmg
yeah i got good resets
Nha, it make sense I think
big issue was it was a pug group so had to play wire for kicks
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?
1 point in lethal dose
should i have dropped master?
or lightweight shiv
fk i was in between them
but master assassin is better
taking out 1 point out of lethal dose is like what? 5% less dmg on almost all your stuff? 
I would drop shiv
But as I say, didn't play sin with 4p this season
eh
the thing is that our current tierset interacts with shiv
i am dropping master assasin
Yes, it last 11 sec more, i got it
thanks
i mean ofc ill lose dmg but i wonder whats the lowest dmg i lose for wire
Idk tbh, didn't test
goat
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
a sample size of 1 is not a good comparison lol
Some keys =/= 1
and saying "it procs MA 3x cus of double vanish" shows a big lack of not understanding how sims work
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
dslice sims have restealths
and im just not making claims if im not 100% sure they are correct

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?
is there a meld stealth macro?
I wouldnt waste my vanish, just wait for tank to group em up and select a prio target
vanish if fight lasts long
You do the same as every group. you can just decide to dot more then you usally do. but in pulls like that. dependant on key. i spend 1 vanish after my first IC window is over.
anyone got some numbers on how much those raid boots that increase dps weshi waps
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
do you use 1 vanish into your dm for the crit buff?
Yes.
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
So yes, sim will overpower MA and everything linked to the double stealth
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
I mean if you have dotted more then 5 targets. you are fine.
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

Heya,
quick question, am i missing something, or having something i shouldnt
(new to wow, sorry if it's a stupid question)
im like 2 week's into the game, never played before so still learning all the in's and outs of the game
do you have potions and healthstones on the side bars?
You'll need a kb keybind if you do some raid
ooooh and cold blood
healthstone would stay next to my potion (where the cookie/pie is)
There's my bars if you want an exemple
and for potions/etc no i dont have those, never bought consumbales really, and i think i did those 1h cd ones, but i popped them from my inventory
what do people have prism macrod to?
shiv on 2 is psychotic
Vanish for ST, DM for DS
ok nice, so as a m+ player, dm
I do spam it off cooldown tbf still unsure on when to use it, watching a 4hour guide now
to possibly prevent it if its an issue
spam what?
Shiv
u should not do that
I figured the way u said it at the start

You sure you understood when to press buttons?
what do our other specs bars look like
if shiv in on 2
30mins in
im scared to see a kir on 2 or something
no, thats why im watching the guide 😄
cause i've hit a wall tbf, i've been finishing my gear and i started to run higher keys, and im falling behind allot in dps
so i decided to check the class more in-depth
thus coming here
put on a shirt smh
people dunno how to dress themselves
this is from the m10 run i did
Question: what's our 2nd trinket after lily (assuming we aren't getting the raid ones) pacemaker ? Dawkbreaker or Ara Kara ?
One of 3
the 3 passive u listed are all possible
it will depend on your stats
Ok I got the dawkbreaker one. So I can continue farming lily
like i got new ring and had to change
and this is the spread, possibly horrible.
Use trinket is one of the biggest upgrade
At least, for Prio
Just finished my 9th eco dome run since yesterday 🥲
i had the same issue focus on only targetting your marked target ( the one you ambushed ) this will make splatter go higher and in turn dps
deathsalker DM
Fatebound vanish
so im possibly then doing everything the wrong way
but i am satisfied how far i've come considering i started 2 weeks ago for the first time ever this game
but yeah now we have to improve :x
For fatebound is it Shiv->vanish->deathmark->cb/kb?
ye basically
thanks
the vanish can go wherever before the first envenom after kb, but ye
Losing MA is the biggest loss here, but as I said, DSlice oversim it I think
wait guys, whats the difference between pure energizing fiber and just energizing fiber in terms of stats
for cloak
idgi
+/- 400 sec stats
how much more
its just a pure upgrade
wow, ive been running the lesser version
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
?
yea its not letting me, ive taken out the thing
@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
i just wanna sim whether crit is better
since my mastery is stupid high
then sim it?
it wont let me select
screenshot
is it normal that eveyone in 2600 wants carry?
could just make both
on my server the materials costs like 900 gold in total from AH
or link to your sim
ok only selected one without fiber and still doesnt work
then make sure this is checked
~murr~
WESHI WAPS !!! X3
X3
Unselect gems
ah
it coutns as one of the 13 gems
u probably have very little vers
@crisp venture when u place a new one in the wraps, it doesn't destroy the item so u can re-sim it whenever and replace what u need
like if you have all 4 you're set for the entire season
oh nice
Hey anyone have wa that tracks how many ruptures you have out of all targets in a pull?
do u care about number of ruptures or just scent of blood?
number something like 3/8 showing on the screen
can that be macroed?
so it uses automatically when i use deathmark
yes
how to macro
i have one macro i saw randomly in a guide saying its a must have, but thats all
where is q and e
E is there, Q is going to be added
since im organizing my stuff atm while watching the guide
!cb
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
yes u do,for ur ilvl u should be doing x2.5 times that dps at least
can grab that cold blood kb one too
since u seem to know alot... whats the macro for meld stealth, that does work right?
for whenever you get around to doing FB gameplay
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
i figured, since i pretty much press stuff
that is so annoyingly finicky i never bother to do it
i'd rather dodge spells with meld
do you only FOK on 2+ targets while maintaining caustic?
i dont play that build
i do the other one
if you ever do any raiding you will want to play the other one
oh
i played this one in raiding
like IC and Scent are doing basically nothing
dont u worry though,we all started from somewhere.Even experienced rogues do mistakes.If i were u ild take my take reading the wowhead guide.Its very good,written by our top nerd,which is raiding and playing and testing the game actively.Dont be afraid to ask rotational questions and stuff after u are done,we are here to help new rogues.Rogue is a considerably hard class to master

already on it, watching the 4hour guide as we speak, and i have the wow head guide open
so it's just fine tuning now for the past 2 weeks of my playtime
to just know what does what and when to press and why to press it
yup dont rush it,take your time and ''study'' the class,especially how it behaves mechanically with skills
that whispyr guy jsut steals all his ideas from maxroll smh
its pivotal to understand how the class works
then u can push for more
forget about raider io
just focus on learning it
trust me on this
Hold up archon showing sub as best throughput in raid? Ive been on vacation has something happened?
there are a lot of damage amps in the raid so it's not surprising that sub is doing well
plus there are some dumb interactions with Deathmark and disappearing
ye its never sub,its because the spawns xd
yeah, i've been really investing the time, in the 2 weeks of me playing, i have like 7-8 days playtime 💀 but i managed to get some accomplishments, cleared the manaforge raid on normal and 1st,2nd boss on hard, and my rating rn is 2.3k almost
but i've been hitting a wall
where im not enough the higher i go
who couldve guessed that the 90sec burst spec does quite fcking well when you have a raid where a bunch of adds spawn at 90sec intervals
shit goes hard
so i decided to invest time into a proper guide now etc.
thats very nice to read,awesome stuff
Makes sense. Been away so haven't been in the new raid
now get deep into that quality stuff and make that part of urself
the more better u become the higher content u do
my fav part of my sub rogue gameplay is not realising i've even made a mistake until like 30 seconds later
TRUE

just fun hitting buttons in M+ and stuff exploding
yeah just win the rolls its 50-50,win or lose xd
good gmaeplay be damned
or idk loot the item
RIP in chat for my Rogue? - forgot to skip campaign so now im stuck in it 🙂
skipperino is active no?
yeah, i skipped on 2 toons already, just I think I accidently didnt on Rogue, once you accept it after going through the portal, theres no going back according to Blizzard
You can't "leave" pending campaign, so you cant ever get back to that NPC option, so just reminder to not rush ❤️
u can just go to the vendor for the cloak
and get it btw
if thats the only reason ur doing it
its basicly 1/4 of the total campaign u have to do
final step,u even skip cinematics
yes yes i did that 🙂
ive done it in two rogues 2 mages 1 druid and 1 paladin
I can do anything, but just dont have the Renown unlocked lol
ok thats what i figured, just unlock the renown - and ignore rest.
I can do anything


what is the command for the loot picture ?
( the one with dungeon and raid tier list )
!gear
im sick of playing with pugs its like im never gonna reach 3k
im top dpsing every single dungeon
and im always in a party of 2 monkey
yeah pugging sucks. making friends/playing with guild is a top priority
irrelevant but are u watching the RWF?
somewhat
how do u do that
liquid and echo are like 0.5% away from each other
any good advice for dps on myth with fate bound talent?
how much did that fix on Caustic Spatter nerf us?
Don't suck, do mechanics
those are not the problem ::
as long as you do your opener properly you're just playing baseline assassination
upkeep dots and spam envenom
Then there should be no problem
Fate is the less involved talent, you do your opener, then just vibe
hmmm
whats more proper to use in large pack multilate to get caustic spatter or fan of knives
:?
which fight are we talking about?
you only need to mut for caustic once for caustic until its about to run out, otherwise fok based on target count
!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
when do you use shiv with kingsbane when playing fb
1 charge for last 8s?
or immediately for the cold blood envenoms
@severe jacinth
do we stay in st with bleed build m+ above 150 energy?
join a guild, stack charisma
outside of cds
its over
!up
!down
What does a normal m+ dmg breakdown look like? I keep having CT as #1
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
outlaw vs assa whichone easier to play pug?
!design
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.
Do i hold Shiv for the set bonus now this season? instead of using it with 7 seconds left on DM and KB? so hold for a extra 4 seconds?
okok ty, I was asking bc I'm 4pcs 704 ilvl and in M+ some ppl is sometimes over me in dps being 696 or smth like that
In m+ the bleed build does not have good st
In aoe if you're running out of energy you need more bleeds out
yeah, sometimes i'm dps-ing same as tanks. feelsbadman
Not doing a key level high enough to get a dm in execute, i will be competing with prot warr dps
how many garrotes are we suppose to be spreading in the m+ bleed build mass AOE?
use it as your primary builder inside of IC
afterwards don't worry about it except on your mark target
improved garrote is a lot of damage
and get more darkest knight procs so how is using garrot during IC better
but if its already on all targets your still using it over fok?
no but if ur in mass aoe ur likely taking a bit to get it on the like 12 or w/e targets
How far behind is hybrid build compared to bleed
quite a bit and gets worse with 4p
brothers how do u handle lomithar's adds ? just don't swap?
wym more bleeds out?
sorry for my ignorance
xdd
just don't swap
can apply a rupture if u wanna
I think they mean you can apply rupture, enemies will die with rupture on them thus giving you energy back for each death

I'm seriously considering switching to sub
waht issue occuring
ur just gonna be trading the damage around by swapping
hm ok I'll have a watch on it, bc it says that most of dps comes from having energy over 50%
blizzard fix the energy thingy
xDDD
your tank needs to route around u and pull funnel on every boss
sub also suffers from bad pulling more than sin
i feel i must play sub instead of assasin in high keys... because of ST and a aoe explosion dmg
do you know how garrote prio works, for example after hitting garrotte on my main target x2 it will have spread to 5 enemies. I am correct in saying i have to switch targets for it to spread to more than 5?
yes
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.
sub nice in keys but it is mostly just gonna be a damage profile trade
do you guys use WA to track which ennemies of the pack have your dots? if so can you share them?
is antenna uptime enough to make haste more valuable than crit for us?
you're wanting the addon Plater
