the last of that list then? thanks
ye
please buff ST 🙁
!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 This is an outdated way to think about stats and simply is not relevant to the spec.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

Anyone know how to have this show on plater for imported profiles?
i think jundies plater does that ?
Wasn't working when I used Jundies, i'll delete and import again
i may be wrong
but i'm around 66.1% sure there is a plater profile with combo points on them

!snap
Explanation of snapshotting
Bleeds update their tick rate dynamically, which means that if you get a haste proc (which increases our tick rate) from somewhere during the encounter (ie. Power Infusion), the bleeds would automatically tick faster, but the second your haste goes back to normal, the tick rate goes back down as well.
Snapshotting refers to getting that haste proc, reapplying bleeds at the faster tick rate, but instead of the bleeds going back to a slower tick rate when your haste drops, they would continue ticking at a faster rate until they expire or are reapplied.
how do you guys handle st in m+ with bleed build outside of cds? keeping all dots up no matter what and then maintaining the rotation but in a way you always stay above 150 energy for sanguine blades?

wowhead has a good priorty list to view
i usually start crying and shitting
yeah i did read that but im a fan of communicate to clarify things im maybe mistaken with
anyone know a reason why i'd be getting more casutic damage then CT and sanguine damage in keys with bleed build? never happened last season. Feeling like im playing like shit or something or is it a dungeon by dungeon thing?
are you keeping CT up in ST and AoE 100%?
doin my best but i could be messin up. i used to giga pump and now im doin kinda bad by my standards
top 10 saddest momments

that's the 20% of the time inferred by the remark about individual dots. The last one was priory, so I got to die 4/6 of the times Lightspawn channeled on me b/c vanish/cloak was on CD perpetually.
What is your healer doing you’re dying every channel lol
it's actually insane how much we get targeted by that i could bet $5 that it's intended
Is it normal for spatter to barely overtake CT or did i happened to get lucky procs during lingering darkness? It was a smooth 10 floodgate and I ended with 10b damage and 7.5m dps overall.
Hi all , whats the best Weapon enchant for M+ only? Is it still council Guile like in the guide ?
I think the healer was doing their best, but my buds are understandably not thrilled about helping me farm Halls/Priory, unfortunately. I was farming 10-12s, so things hit pretty hard.
We keep CT up on Single target ? just came back to game since S1 trying to catch up with stuff
So in AoE Situations we should make Sure to always be above 150 energy?
With bleed build yes
its impossible not to be
if you have ruptures on at least 5 targets
Thank you for the help
is it largely the tier set bonuses that keeps Bleed builds competitive until +20ish?
Yes, and the huge funnel you have if you take trash into the bosses
Our ST sucks, its a fact, but good groups are tanking trash directly onto the boss
ah okay, good. Was worried I missed some major talent change. Arterial is pretty great for enraged stuff too. I didn't notice it's awesome utility in that regard, last season.
I do if the tank's getting trucked and someone's soothes aren't doing the trick
indeed it is
incidentally happens, commrade
is casting garrote from stealth in delves bugged?
why is no one playing crimson tempest for soulbinder/araz mythic btw
seems quite good for those fights?
Stuff doesnt live long enough
whats our netherprisim interaction as DS? macro to dm?
my dslice also wanted council #mypersonalwin
!gear
not that I've seen. Never even heard of an ability, like Garrot being bugged. That'd be awful.
bugged how
Before I jump to the bugged conclusion, I spend a bit figuring out if I'm doing something wrong, but my impression is that's not a common practice
in what way bugged?
I suspect they're doing something wrong, since delves making garrot not work would be wild
Not sure if it's related but if you're using the sands of karesh Brann ability in delves it bugs out enemies that you try to attack
yeah that's why i ask
oh, I bet that's it
For stealth in particular I mean
I've not specifically noticed Sands do that, but I've definitely heard the "whoosh whoosh whoosh" of my garrots fizzling, like what happens with contractor pulls in Flood
I often get Evades or my character will just break stealth and begin auto attacking
never experienced that so idk
This could be it
do you hear the "whoosh whoosh" of garrot whiffing when they're evading?
Should I put garrote and rupture on a mouse over to spread or just hit the same target with indiscriminate carnage active to spread?
depends if you like mouseover
chill answer - do it on the same target
Thanks!
You've checked out Whispyr's recent guide? It's quite good and covers that. I'm quite familiar with Assassin and still learned a few things from it.
I’ve glanced over it leveling. I’ll have to give it a full read though
yeah, some of the info he gives may hit different
I don't recall where I heard/read it, but someone authoritative said the tier bonuses don't change the rotation, but the 4pc bonus actually does change a bit; I'm pretty sure shivving away the last stack of deathstalker's mark for max value from the re-application envenom is the play now.
(...or is the 4pc bonus a red herring and shivving before DSM reapplication is still the play...?)
!macro
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
Is ist cast Tempered Potion or use Tempered Potion in Macro for Death Mark?P
use
Whats with the "Unyielding Trinket" usage?
Always on cd with dm or handle it like spymaster?
#showtooltip Deathmark
/use Elemental Potion of Ultimate Power
/cast Blood Fury
/use 13
/castsequence reset=10 Deathmark, Shiv
/castsequence reset=5 Thistle Tea, null

cool. Works for me though
idk why you're cast sequencing in shiv and tea with DM
probably an error
no it doesnt
because you literally cant macro deathmark and shiv
glad it works for you
wtf are you doing
its not only just wrong, its not a function macro in the first place
bizarre. Sure seemed like it has worked for the last two seasons. Gotta love it when sequencing information varies between tutorials.
Why are we pinging me !macro lol
Did I ping you? o.o didnt notice

dawn 12 was impossible content for some reason
I failed 10 12's aras
people dont know hwo to do the first boss man
its so painfull
I depleted a dawn 12 yesterday by 30 seconds, rashanan was 61% hp when we had 1:30 left
🙂
dogshit boss
i depleted a 12 dawn because the boomie decided to go raid spec and then did half my overall

"we have a lot of aoe ill go ST spec"
does 3.5m overall
Well well, i depleted a 12 Dawn because we depleted it
also the warlock died 8 times
and have fun doing hoa onwards
i have a stroke everytime
i type "stack on me or u lose key" while im tanking
ive lost 3 keys
the concept of stand on top of tank is too foreign for the average WoW player
whats the best ilvl waist to replace legendary ?
REAL
believe 710 should be ok but sim it
According to sims on me, a 710 from the DH bosses barely pulls ahead from the delve belt.
the myth track belt that I have will when its fully upgraded sim 0.4% better 🙂
I have one that sims like 20k better at 710
but I ain't spending 30 gilded on a 20k gain at this point in the season
Circling back to the contentious macro that I shared, aside from laziness and budget potions that I use outside of raids and key pushing, what's the actual issue with the macro because, like an emotionally mature adult, I gave ppl the benefit of the doubt, checked on a practice dummy and everything fires in the desired order.
Is Shiv supposed to happen before Deathmark now because of the tier bonuses?
fatebound yes
Also it would use your trinket on your shivs
is there a reason why DS shouldn't just shiv before DM with 4p? it's like 22 seconds of shiv, you can fit the entire DM there without any issue
When you get prism
yeah, that's what I was thinking
for an extra GCD of trinket duration?
if you do normal shivs after DM with 4 set you get shiv uptime in lingering darkness
oh right
No as in its gonna use it during your inbetween shivs
The idea is to have trinket buff for the highest dps part of the Deathmark window?
No outside of deathmark
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Seems obvious, but just in case I'm mistaken: it's so Deathmark benefits from trinket buff, yeah?
What
Shivving before Deathmark
Your shivs that are not related to deathmark
Not happening at the same time as deathmark
The ones at 45/60s that is not during deathmark
Those are the ones im talking about
oh, okay
He’s saying your macro is going to proc your prism outside of DMark which will then use the stacks of your prism you’re storing for your big DMark
Good to know for when I have a prism!
damn, that's chonky ui
question, im watching the 4hour guide from whispyr, say's that there is a few builds to min max, like raid council, cleave, hybrid. realistically too much for me at the moment
am i good with having the m+ build for aoe, and the kingsbane build for singletarget
Raid ST and raid Cleave just change one talent (caustic spatter). Then M+ bleed is all you need really
M+ bleed and ST fatebound// Cleave DS raid
I guess yeah DS cleave would be needed as well
and ignoring fatebound completely?
and sticking to DS only with those two builds? aoe & single target
what's the chat command for !stealth copypasta
!restealth
its 3 builds
2 for raid 1 for M+
!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.
its 2 builds, and you swap on 3 bosses
thats not a big deal
if its a fight with many targets, you dont play cringebound, thats all
time to hit dummies if you wish to become more than a casual homie
But if you're struggling with it, my best advice for you is to figure out why the rotation works the way it does and move from there
Don’t try and be world first level right away and don’t be discouraged you’re not orange parsing. Just play and get better than you are now
So hit dummies, stop, read some talents, hit some dummies some more
Once you're able to understand how talent interactions work, you'll be able to pick up p much any class p fast
in the meantime @minor coyote https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/rogue/assassination/manaforge-omega-raid-tips check out the wowhead guide
most of your questions are answered there
i am trying as best as i can, but recently hitting a wall really, as i go higher in keys my damage is lacking, thats why i decided to join here, watch & read the guides
to improve
this is my 2nd week into the game
so it's really overwhelming
then dont bother with it?
Don't you feel you're kinda forcing that knowledge too fast?
^
@shy creek you ok? xD
LOL
Man it annoys me so much when new players come here and people are just like "don't try 4head"
i mean i am willing to improve, and i think im doing okay so far, im 2.3k rating, did normal manaforge and some heroic bossess there, so it's going good, but as i said the higher keys for example im really lacking compared to other players
aka why im here
M+ sometimes is the wild west, too many variables to do good dmg
and i don't want to be a m6 player forever
or do normal raids only
nobody said that, but ok, go wild
kekw
!gear
astral antenna being s-tier feels like a scam 
if he is literally a fully new player, he literally SHOULD NOT bother with it until the actual basics are in

If you're a visual learner, you can also check Shindigg on youtube
im positive he did a m+ video recently
you dont tell somebody that started the game 2 weeks ago "now swap talents 4x in this raid which make small changes on your rotation when you dont even fully know or have the muscle memory for your normal rotation"
thats the dumbest thing possible
Taht doesn't mean don't try them out at all LOL
Its okay to try, fail, and try something else
People worrying about running while they're still learning to walk probably has a lot to do with scrubs being jerks about dps in easy keys imho
well thats a reason
i've been insulted every second run
for performing poorly
so yeah i don't want to experience that every key
is that a NA thing
like serious question there
true but he still needs to actual learn how the class behaves.No shot anyone can learn the rogue in 2 weeks
its impossible
cus i legit never saw that happen in 18years

For sure, but you always learn on the job, so much of what you learn about the class does not apply until after you try it and fail a bunch
that'll happen for sure. Sorry that some players are like that.
yes but u start learning from a to b to c to ... etc not str8 to x y z
thats insane,loses basic understanding of mehcanics
For sure, go try out new things on target dummies
Yo sap
yo man :3
my brother also playes rogue, but he misses the important point
he doesnt read talents
He's raiding HC without knowing how DSM works
he misses one greater than that
having a brother r1 rogue
also one of the most perceptive rogues ive ever seen
and thats in action not by vids
Even with me explaining EVERYTHING TO HIM LIKE HE WAS 5yo, he still manages to have 99% active uptime
and parse 5
If you're doing single digit keys, just ignore them because those are learning keys and anyone being an asshole about dps is likely not very good. When I see ppl doing that kind of thing, they're often a faceroll dps spec with nerfs in their future.
this is where im currently at
This reinforces the point that io doesn’t mean anything at all. Sure you’re 2300 io, but if your performance isn’t good to the point you’re getting insulted in every other key, you’re not at a 2300 level and should be running lower keys until you can dominate in those
this is how wow community is after 20 years,thats expected,try to find ppl to play with and avoid this toxicity,its sickening
also try to self improve dont look what otehrs say or do
its silly
learn ur value,what others think its not important
Sap cmon
nothing's better than the "im a main rogue playing on an alt" giving you tips
im getting old bro
my father instincts come out
Hey guys I did grey logs on a Dawnbreaker +15 and I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong, can someone help point out issues ?
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/mqjLwcnYg83G1RWr?fight=5&type=casts&source=5&view=timeline
m+ logs aren't really a thing to be measured afaik
Yeah but if you're doing grey you're definitely doing something wrong
You might be grey logs cause there’s probably like 5 logs
How many 15’s you think have been run
Sure but we didn't time because of low damage and my damage wasn't the best
Like I got outdpsed by a retri
should I be saving netherprism for 3 min or just use it every 1.5?
Blame the moonkin who did worse and parsed a 0
hm
Secondly there’s like 20 15 Dawnbreakers done
I wonder if maybe lily for 1.5 min and prism for 3 min
Maybe a 15 is hard cause it’s week 2. Idk
So you think my damage/rotation is fine ?
Actually?
Idk
Mythic plus parses 
That shit was easy
Nah there’s more
Catch these paws ousside
Dang imagine not being one already
I was until df
if im seeing this right, you died during the first lust, that will hurt your overall
Yeah I died to a double bolt cast, Pal died during second BL though and still managed to do decent
do i wanna vanish pre deathmark or post kingsbane with 4pc and prism?
As fatebound ?
yes
You want to shiv/vanish/DM
or after KB
but with prism
it's better to vanish before DM
is Fatebound that much better than Deathstalker in 11.2?
thanks ❤️
oh
Coins go hard
I think i sim 900k higher in FB ST then i do in DS 
Random question but do you do your unbuffed sim damage on a patchwerk ?
No i sim with buffs
Because why would you sim without buffs because thats not reality when im going raiding.
Yeah but when you're patchwerking you don't have them
how you mean
i dont have them 😄
Depends on the fight really
Is this guy zak trying to ragebait me
damn @marble hemlock
@wicked carbon there's like 31 logs for dawn 15 as sin those small issues probably did cost the numbers
they cookedy our name
Like you go on a patchwerk and try to do as much damage on a given time

Naazindri for example?
Love me some patchwerking
Bro. patchwork is just a name for a singkle target fight
my raid has every raid buff
thats how i sim it
I mean in dornogal bro
nah naazin you go DS
WHY ARE WE SIMMING IN DORNAGOL
k
theyre allowed to 
I think by patchwerk he means target dummy
Like to see if you can do the same damage as your sim on a patchwerk, I think you're the one trying to ragebait lmao
ye target dummy mb
Bro doesn’t know what patchwerk means lol
Patchwerk was a boss in naxx. It’s used as a term for a st boss with 0 movement just press buttons raid fight
Oh makes sense
This is fucking gold
You just sim with all buffs on. except PI. and you look at your sim
What class was it
and if you wanna see how much your doing you can turn it off and hit a dummy for 5 minutes i geuss
another question with fatebound with shiv do i wanna second shiv immediately so it lasts full deathmark or wait and makesure it lasts full kb
full dm
thanks
Yeah that was my question lol. Can you do as much damage as your sim ig
and shiv the last seconds of KB in your solo
!shiv
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
Yeah i can
i appreciate the insight big dog youre a real one
Did you just called me big?
big blaster
Aight ty for taking a look. So nothing wrong with my rotation ?
i didn't look deep enough, u got something going on, but its not like grey levels in a serious way
Big Boys only
how many garrotes should i spread? 10?
we are from the BBO club
Anything you could point or just general feeling ?
In IC, do it until everything has it then stop
thx
this is a 10 gambit, what can you see instantly that I need to improve?
From my pov its:
1: More vanish to re-apply bleeds if pull takes too long.
2: Stay above 150 energy in AoE(due to above)
I notice that i from habit sitll use FoK instead of garotte when setting up pulls.
link a log instead. details is not really helpful
were you letting CT fall off a lot on the 2nd boss?
Okay so just MH dagger?
Looks like you wouldn't refresh it until the adds respawned
What about the second spark ?
2nd spark can just be used on wrists
to get your writhing armour band
wouldn't worry about wasting guilded crest on wrists rn tho
if u have better uses for them
the campaign etheral crest is enough for just 704 wrists
@pulsar sentinel
Was about to ask myself what to craft with sparks lol
low damage on hunt them down
likely wasnt hitting mark target enough
singular damage should be higher
hey, can someone share me a macro for netherprism?
Any tips for not losing my DM on soul hunters or is it just get good? Feel like I’m constantly having to chase down my mark and then I lose spatter or they fly up into the air for an intermission and I have to vanish to get it back
Target Darksorrow
is this aimed at me?
Get good yes
why chase when you can shadowstep?
Also you really dont need to hit anyone besides the tank one
outside of intermissions
DM mark in Soul Hunters is manageable but holy shit I struggle on Araz
I just went Fatebound to not deal with it
I am not good though so
araz you hold vanish for the amp
Fatebound is so much more fun to play anyways, wish it was kinda relevant on M+ aswell
I craft a Stabber or Dagger for MH?
Stabber
and only craft 1
Stabber bro
Thanks
yeah but those flips feel satisfying
Do you have any tips for me to make sure its worth to cast vanish in a pull or not
seeing big numbers make me happy
Its not his fault tho
he probably got offshored
to work on more mage changes anyway
class isnt good clearly
or that new reskinned void spriest
Playing fatebound and going 20 tails flips then 5
is triggering
Any idea on missive or doesnt matteR?
fatebound st?
crit mastery
and call it a day
soz, Deathstalker AoE in m+
realistically its like
I usually use vanish to spread
If Vanish is close to 2 charges and the pull will live long and you are deathmarking you can vanish for burst otherwise keep for spread imo
To refresh master assassin
So basicly if mobs will take more than 40 sec to die use vanish to spread. If they take less, use with deathmark?
I mean there isn't a clear cut rule on vanish usage.
It's more of a feel thing than a hard rule but even 30 sec is worth it
i think he means put deathmark on your highest health enemy
abusing IC is the biggest benefit
Yeah, just if your tank isn't chain pulling and you're sitting at 2 charges sending for burst is good
There are so many things to track. Kinda overwhelming starting out assa
A lot of people say that, but thats why you download weakaura packs. i swapped to rogue around 4 months ago. and it really isn't to much.
2 bleeds. 3 with CT. and then just DM/shiv/KB
and combo points + energy bar
d
is assa the easiest spec out of the 3 rogue specs ? i wanna play a rogue alt in keys
Easiest is subjective. but it's lowest APM one
but it's most considered easiest yes
Isn't outlaw easier?
outlaw has 100 buttons to press
Maybe it's changed since I played it on DF
3-4 buttons max for keys exept cds
how about sub ?
Are yoy pushing or just playing 10s-12s?
i have 3k on my main now healer, i usually have another alt that i kinda push with id say
now im looking to know which one to play
Rogue is easy
i havent played rogue since SL
but i dont have issues with playing any class
i like sub the most out of all the specs and from what ive looked myself
but it seemed a bit complicated
Nah, you just need to get a hang of it same as everything
subs difficulty is one of the most overhyped things in this game tbh
its a wow spec
true true 😄
i play healer this patch nothing can be harder than healing dawnbreaker 💤
its a habit if you ve been healing ur whole life...
cant main anything else unfortunately
but i gladly have a dps alt that i pump on, always 😄
so is sub prefered in some keys and assa in some other ?
depends on dung i guess ?
Pretty much rhe same
Sub is crazy bursty, outside of cds you do 0, meanwhile assa is more consistent i would say
Dawnbreaker + streets sub is better
tbh i wanna play the spec that requires the least raid trinkets since i only play m+ lol
probably outlaw rn?
Is it prio to get all garotte and rupture up before using a single mutilate for caustic splash(forgot name) or should you sneak one in
Same for CT
and for race ? whats the most minmaxy race ?
if you play bleed build, your highest priority is getting all bleeds up and keep them running
idk, im not cringe enough for that

probs the ussual, shit elf or dwarf
For anyone watching rwf, would sins 90s cds be better for platforms+execute or is sub just that much stronger?
Depends on how much cleave is needed
Poteto potato
sub + damage amps = enormous damage
dimmy isn't in execute all that long
Also free big dmg cus of nimble flurry and tech
and the dmg amps are too short for assa to properly use
another sub tier
good thing #subtlety cried 24/7 huh? 
i see maghar orc also, is that cuz of the racial cd ? isnt normal orc better ?
Guys am I tripping or you can get shadowbolted by non fightable npcs on the boat 2nd pull of Dawnbreaker ?
You can yes, it gibbed me a few times haha
Is it too short? Thought it was like 30+ secs, that's long enough for db/kb no?
That's crazy lol, it literally bricked our key
It's called Dawnbricker for a reason
Troll is so cool as a rogue. but i can't go away from dwarf racial, healers are dog and just letting me die
anyone knows what's the best weapon embelishment for mplus?
Mechagnome racial is what I can't give up. Pop clones/vanish/gg
Can gamescon talk about talent previews already? I'm tired of not being able to discuss this bonkers shit. (4th row of hero talents was a surprise at least)
!gear
i traded netherprism for ritual forge AMA
what are you having for dinner tonight?
probably a burrito from a little hole in the wall down the road
how trustworthy are sims? just got a new neck drop and with it I sim a bit more but I feel like I lose all my mastery
generally trustworthy. you can link the sim if you're not sure and we can tell you if something is wrong
does that just mean I'm overcapped on mastery? idk
yeah will do
Fatebound likes crit a lot so that's expected
i have separate gear for FB because of that
Yeah sounds like having a seperate gear for DS and FB makes sense
mastery and crit heavy, right?
Mastery DS
Crit FB
both like crit and mastery, fb just likes more crit and ds likes more mastery
Guys, I need some opinions, how i have that uptime on rupture and he's not my first/second damage? maybe for my low mastery?
Rupture is ur energy + buff bleed. CT is your damage
So, prob struggling on energy?
No, just is what rupture is
and what Im missing? cant see
my guess is that if you look logs, rupture usually is 1-3 in dps
How do we use Netherprism Trinket in M+ and Raid?
looks fine to me
but can any1 help me out? im wondering if i need to get 2 set or 4 set to switch to fatebound in ST? feel like im doing less ST on fatebouynd with old 4 set
I have araz and antenna
fatebound is higher st even before 2p
it is?
but its more rng because you dont get lucky coin for free in opener
but should i get 2p?
i mean you should get 2p regardless
but fatebound is still better in st before that, can sim for yourself easily enough
alright

Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
do we know why kingsbane doesn't reset in delves?
Doesn’t… reset?
You talking about kyveza?
What it supposed to be resetting it
Cause it's not 2min+
Probably wrong 
yes
Ye only cooldowns 2 mins and longer get reset
If it ever did, it hasn't been for a while
!gear
alright
i need to settle this with a friend
do you guys think Loom'ithar is a larvae or a spider?
pugs is impossible with assasination rogue %90 of tanks no idea about our playstyle and chain pull all the dungeon very sad 🙁
9/10 times my Caustic does more dmg than my CT
I'm either screwing up or it just be like that in bigger pulls
what is wrong with chain pulling, not like we need restealths
you must be either casting CT way too less
or just spamming your envenoms a lot
it weaves silk its not a spider
I'm probably casting it too less, I only cast it to refresh the bleed
if you think you do no dmg because of chainpulls, you have no idea about your playstyle
its a silkworm/moth
and reapply if they chainpull
? thats what you do
this is 80% uptime on CT
CT has no burst dmg
yes, thats what I do
turn on scared of spider mode, does it change into a crab?
if you have an endless night proc should u shiv before to enhance it or after to consume a stack of ds?
do you have lingering darkness in this hypothetical?
no
then I shiv after, but idk if that's the right thing
i see, im fucked on mastery, i have 45.. this have some influence as well?
45%
Idk if mine is correct, so take it with a grain of salt
maybe your dmg profile is better
idk, sometimes i feel like should be more damage on some pulls
but im target 2 itens before push 12+
If I'm gonna shiv once on a pack is it worth waiting for it to be lowish for Zoldyck Recipe ?
How much is whispyr gonna crash out if our apex talent is envenom

Did you not see the reveal 
hell naw
Its like
Honestly
A mega capstone
not a bad shout
With 4 points
And probably terrible to play with
But its strong enough you probably dont want to not have it
all the reveals I could find were either random
screenshots or like 50 minute interviews with content creators where the devs say "no news yet" or "I think players will be excited when they see it" or it's just some dogshit softball question that no one cares about 

I'm not gonna go hunting for some VoD and then scan through it or whatever
Very true
I'll just wait for when it's actually in game
i can help
no biggie
tldr they function like this
oh wait your gonna wait until theyre in game
also dev dh

i have a theory
perfect
Oh true I forgot about dev dh
you mean wait until last week of the beta
the top row for both specs

so
its probably wrong, but i think theyre all are gonna effect the top 2 rows of talents only
if not the first talent
legit no fun gameplay to be had for buffing deadly poison
Yea what was promised and what was (so far) delivered is very different LOL

and wait a minute that's just slaughter poison from shadowlands beta
blade of justice, now uses all your charges
so i can overcap
even more resource
trust
what could possibly go wrong
Can anyone look at this and tell me, what im doing wrong? its like over 1m dps which im missing compared to top 100 logs... https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/VBNRjtzwb6yLrxCQ?fight=56&type=damage-done

@balmy condor oh its him! new player here, watching & reading your wowhead guide and the 4 hour guide

No no
Wowanalyzer
No sin in rwf why is this chat still available? Lock down
!thread
Did they change the bot? I can’t make a thread anymore
quake is our thread bot
I think of this
oh ya that too
I think of toxicquake
yes it's joever
He's making a biiiiiiig pin
About apex talents surely
sin apex talent
envenom adds 1 second to the duration of rupture and garrote per combo point spent and refinds half its energy on a crit
He make pin for us
If we think about the apex it's surelysomething with our poison our bleeds
i think this is just how feral used to work
But we will see i geus swhen alpha hits in a few eeks
i also liked my terrible "deadly poison is also a bleed" idea
#buffsin
would be like blizzard to blight us with exsang again
actually forced to take it
if an apex talent
Kingsbane applies mark
and turns mark into exsang

last boss of streets rules
Almost fully hero track geared, time to revert to doing 8 10s a week for vault and not touching m+ beyond that
Balance is returning
keys r fun tho
I don't like m+, I just wanna raid man 
not enough videogame in raiding
i wana press my buttons
thats why I have other videogame
when not enough videogame i just drop game completely

I just play for the raids, raids are fun
raids r fun
I just don't like all the other things I have to do to raid
but so short times
to involved with so many people
v annoying
10 man mythic when 
I just have the jastors to replace, also hero track gloves but those are tier so I'm stuck with them for now
The Buggiest Patch
none of these have been fixed 10/7
Pookie Video with Bonus Crashout
Yet another bug has been found. After the hotfix which removed the double dipping from caustic, caustic spatter damage does not singular focus, removing a fundamental portion of assassination’s funnel. Given we have YET ANOTHER impactful bug, I want to go over the list of important issues as of now. These are not tuning issues directly, they are simply not functioning the way they properly should.
General
- Sudden Demise’s execute simply doesn’t work in open world/delves because of ilvl world scaling
- Twist the knife still causes weird envenom timers when the new envenom is shorter than a previous envenom
- sanguine blades still double dips the spec aura just like caustic did, so it’s actually 36% currently
Deathstalker
- Fatal Intent is severely undertuned but it also has a chance to fizzle. While it pops at 20%, it stops stacking at 30%, meaning you could just lose it entirely on long fights
- momentum of despair simply does not work after pressing shiv with the 2pc equipped
- singular focus does not work with caustic spatter anymore
Fatebound
- the 4pc tier set is a buggy mess after having been noted as “fixed” in a hotfix note. It has a chance to double proc, not proc at all, and sometimes even proc in the middle of the fight and desync all your cooldowns.
- Tails coins critting gives combo points through seal fate
Special Honorable Mention Bonus Bugs
- Deathmark finishing removes a stack of scent of blood because it finishing means the bonus rupture is removed
- Darkest Night isn't granted from things like araz conduits and the oasis boss in streets (technically intended cause they don't "die" but... really?)
- Pressing shiv with the 4pc deathstalker set and Darkest night up triggers the energy effect again, presumably because it tries to proc the mark, doesn't see the mark, and then just re-proc darkest night?
- Swapping from Sub to Fatebound Assa breaks cold blood macros because it's not the same cold blood. Need to relog to fix it
- Deathstalker's mark still sometimes just.... doesn't apply from darkest night?
- You cannot break down Deathstalker's Mark while have Darkest Night
- Momentum of Despair and Follow the Blood tooltips both say "black powder" instead of "crimson tempest"
- Caustic Spatter specifies Mutilate and Deadly Poison, when Ambush and Amplifying Poison also work. Wound Poison does not work.
- Arterial Precision can pull things that are out of combat because the range on it is massive and can jump
All together our class is bugged, spec is bugged, both tier sets are bugged, jastor diamond rings are bugged, charged bolts on the delve belt breaks out of stealth. Everything sucks man. I’ll make a video going over all of this as well. It just sucks cause Assa rogue is super fun this patch but the bugs are just so oppressive 
you guys doing high keys with assasin? i mean 13++ ?
Why wouldnt you do high keys?
lack of ST dps?

I feel useless ngl
Today i did the most boss damage in a street. vs a arcane mage and a frost DK
sounds like a you problem bud
was a 14 lol
or sound like a mage and dk problem

Holy beans

This innocent little hotfix note apparently amounted to like a 10% nerf to keys

Sub & Assa united in bugs
(this fix is what made caustic stop working with singular)
Before the key starts. tell your tank to pull on top of bosses
and problem fixed
When will blizzard give up and delete rogue entirely?
thats true
!gear

Whispyr please make a Twitter post and lock the discord
so northern sky, which is the WA that my guild is using , simply doesnt work for me. ive downloaded everything, redownloaded everything reinstalled a bunch of times, tried 1080p anchors, 1440p anchors
it just doesnt work?
You installed it through the addon? Thats what my RL made us do
Do you have the addon updated
I tweeted at ion and CS support
Because we are apparently not to be trusted
surely that will help
Also yeah update the addon
i installed manually, i installed it through the addon. hasnt worked, nothing worked for me
Do you have the northern sky tools addon?
yes
WAit
For real?

Yes
ur name becomes more real
Was spatter feeding into singular actually intended
than ever before
Or was it accidentally changed
Yes

rogue was bugged (good) which isn't allowed, so they had to make us bugged (bad)
Hey all. Forgive my newbness. Trying out the FB build with Shiv and KB for single target. Better to macro Thistle Tea to KB or Shiv? If you are binding it to Shiv (used right before KB) how long before you cast your second Shiv on the opener? TIA
!macro
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
And
You cast your seconds shiv 8 seconds after your first shiv
you want to cover your entire DM window
that 4p bug is making me dread just like griefing potential kills of bosses
timing cooldowns makes it so hard
wait is there a bug with sins 4p
Yup. sometimes lucky coin doesnt proc at all or double procs
see pins

yeah, what do we do when this stuff happens?
apologise to your guild
try to align your cooldowns again
whats margin of error for raidbots? 0.1% ish?
for playing rogue
so sit on your KB
Thanks Numbers. I have those two macros. On the second Shiv 8 secs later it won't cast another thistle tea if I have it macrod to shiv right? Since tea would be cooldown or?
You would use your second use of tea yes
Then I feel super energy starved lol.
#showtooltips Deathmark
/use Tempered Potion
/use 13
/cast Deathmark
Why do I have to press this macro 4–5 times sometimes before Deathmark goes off?
I mean thats just how assa is bro
When the % number is blue ish
DM is on the gcd
is it just stealth
your gonna be starved anyway
!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.
the singular focus one really gets me
like why is rogue consistently the buggiest class in the game
cos like
its ridiculous
