You never think about the 150 energy

pliant remnant
#

pure single target

#

keep over 150 energy

#

Or do we mean in keys

#

Either way, no shot

Yeah ain’t no way

#

you don't htink about it

#

150 energy isn't real

#

it can't hurt u

dense cedar
#

super minor gain that messing it up is a much larger loss

severe meadow
#

(It does hurt you)

dense cedar
#

just don't think about it

#

in aoe its non factor

#

in st its non-factor

hey all new to assasination, just played fatebound in lfr and felt super energy starved, is that normal?

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.

real pike
#

your first 2 finishing moves after DM have to be envenom right? refreshing rupture fucks the edge case?

dense cedar
#

cold blood is want causes the envenoms to edge case

#

rupture don't count

real pike
#

ye I did DM > KB > envenom > rup > envenom as finishers

#

and it fucked it

dense cedar
#

so will break it yes

real pike
#

kewl

dense cedar
#

just get the envenom out then rupture

IDK if anyone else had this, but my dungeon slice in bleed build had me using Pacemaker + Cursed Stone Idol, but then dropping a ton of crit from gear. I finally got Signet and it adjusted to me using Sacbrood and put crit on gear/gems instead and its much smoother. I'm assuming something with the sim thinks its fine but in reality its a pain in the ass to get CPs on FoK without the passive crit. Just a head's up if anyone is struggling with that specific issue LOL

frigid lagoon
#

why does the whispyr wa have 2 bars for envenom?

haughty flicker
#

because twist the knife can have two applications of the debuff up

#

its like ironfur

frigid lagoon
#

are you meant to try and keep 2 up?

haughty flicker
#

you dont play around envenom uptime currently it kinda just happens

#

most you do is be sure to envenom before you press kingsbane

frigid lagoon
#

ic thanks bel

with fb you're shivving to cover all of deathmark, not to cover the back half of kingsbane

frigid lagoon

😩

#

ohh

thorn thorn
frigid lagoon

ok

thorn thorn
#

Its just that deathstalker feels similarily shit

real pike

Although slightly irritating to watch realizing that this much is broken nodders

winged sun
#

i mean

#

sin is like

#

doing less than sub atm

#

its crazy

#

its legit no longer meta

#

kinda hurts

#

i mean i just chewed out a sub on logs sooooo....

winged sun
#

and my logs from day 1

dense cedar
#

4p bug is jsut so sad

winged sun
#

are still better than most ppl

#

from today

#

and i BARELY have keys logged

dense cedar
#

cool effect just given such shit functionality

winged sun
#

legit 1 run only

#

per dung

#

or someshit

#

not counting my best runs

#

mean no wonder sin is just falling downhill in logs atm

#

its kinda cringe to have this many broken talents

balmy condor
#

I did basically same boss damage week 1 and 2 on soulbinder cause caustic + singular

winged sun
balmy condor
#

Bugs are cringe as hell no cappy

winged sun
#

no cappy no cappy

spice surge
#

Imagine having talents work like they say they do

#

Couldnt be rogue

dense cedar
#

With first boss phase timings, should I just play sub till 4p?

#

norm heroic alreayd felt mad terrible as sin with 1m/2m cds

simple relic
#

!plater

prisma monolithBOT
dense cedar
#

dunno how viable sending kb on the add is

frigid lagoon
#

anyone had it when kb comes off cd before cb? think

winged sun
#

what add

#

u never send kb on the adds

haughty flicker
#

The two adds on plexus blow up instantly

#

Do not kb them lol

dense cedar
#

ye so

#

probably don't wanna really play sin there then

#

will just feel mad rubbish

#

as it does in hc/norm

weary spear
#

Sin is fine on plexus isn’t it

#

Or what’s bad about it

dense cedar
#

1m kb comes up as he makes you leave him

weary spear
#

Perf just send it on shield 10s later

#

Worse to not have any cd for shield

warm vortex
#

God im rusty on the rogueee

dense cedar
#

ye its why i think might be more fun as sub

#

till i get 4p

weary spear
dense cedar
#

i was just wondering about the adds if they had anything going for them

warm vortex
#

Meh

dense cedar
#

which they don't so

dense cedar
#

got my idea

warm vortex
#

I used to get better ones

#

X)

#

and idk i feel like i should be doing better considering my gear

marsh fjord
#

Geuss which one is bugged

#

and which is not

weary spear
#

That’s fkin wild

warm vortex
#

is the third one bugged

worldly dock
#

Guys how do you deal with ARaz adds?

#

balmy condor
#

Yeah okay buddy I mean bugs are bugs but that’s fucking 25% OMEGALUL

marsh fjord
winged sun
marsh fjord
#

and i havent played different

worthy crag
#

so what is the solution rn? play sub or what?

warm vortex
#

I mean, blizzard will fix the bus very soon
..
right?

winged sun
#

i recommend sub but if u like sin u can sin

warm vortex
#

Imma go up to john actavision and show him whispy's vdieo

dense cedar
#

so who knows

warm vortex
#

What if i get a job at blizzard and fix the bugs myself

#

I know how to make a computer say "hi"

worthy crag
warm vortex
#

Also im a spaghetti connosour, so the code should be good

#

No?

marsh fjord
warm vortex
#

Sub is viable in general im p sure

winged sun
#

at the start

#

just play whatever u like man

dense cedar
night vessel

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
winged sun
#

but like

#

sub rogue

#

is very good atm

warm vortex
#

Yea, makes your dps look better aswell

#

Because nothing else will exist anymore

winged sun
#

sub way better than sin

#

in m+ atm

dense cedar
#

ur overall will be good

winged sun
#

cuz of the ST

warm vortex
#

Btw zerross random question

winged sun
#

sin bugs are just way too much i think

dense cedar
#

and those packs you everything for

warm vortex
#

Hardest key this season

dense cedar
#

will make details look bugged

sullen hedge
#

do we bother multi dotting in our raid cleave/aoe build?

#

or just try to get use out of cuastic

winged sun
warm vortex
#

K hold on

winged sun
#

it was streets i think but now it got nerfed alot

royal lantern
winged sun
#

so maybe priory not sure lemme see what the other dungeons are

gusty lichen
#

Anyone have any idea why when I set Whispyr's class WA to load only when I am playing Sin, whenever I go from Sub to Sin the WA gets messed up and includes pistol shot for some reason?

warm vortex
#

I was gonna try and take a picture of the pool in crucable of the storms for funny

#

But i cba

dense cedar
#

sin gameplay bitm ore fun than sub in keys

deft shore
#

There’s just no way sub survives the first tuning pass, right?

dense cedar
#

but losing that damage is so sad

warm vortex
#

and halls

winged sun
#

ye definitely priory

weary spear
#

Halls is ass

winged sun
#

but people are better at priory atm

royal lantern
winged sun
#

so idk whats realistically the hardest

royal lantern
#

(again, for the 30th time)

winged sun
#

prob still priory

#

even after the practice from all the players

#

not sure

royal lantern
#

but its blizzs fault for giving every boss a medium duration dmg amp lol

warm vortex
#

Idk what branupyke's problem is btw

winged sun
#

still early in the season

spice surge
winged sun
#

i didnt play much

warm vortex
#

but he keeps wnating me to buy his holy hammer

spice surge
#

They literally stacked dragons, elementals and mages

winged sun
#

i dont think sub is op

#

its just balancedly decent

royal lantern
warm vortex
#

Tbh

#

noob question but how do u change the flask in the sim ?

weary spear

LOL

warm vortex
#

warriors need a nerf

dont have to tell me that eleem, i know it

#

i like that in a 12 the aoe from the final boss doesn't even kill you

deft shore
# spice surge Why would it get nerfed

We can agree about why it shouldn’t, but us huffing copium ain’t gonna save it from the inevitable pass - it’s jack of all trades right now. Rogue doesn’t survive those periods normally

haughty flicker
#

Most people's interaction with the race is literally the last boss

dense cedar
#

sou can just cloak off the debuff

haughty flicker
#

So they see sub pump and decide it must be nerfed

warm vortex
#

have you played rogue before

winged sun
#

nerfing rogue would be outrageous atm

deft shore
winged sun
#

none of the specs deserve a single nerf

spice surge
warm vortex
#

Rogue has been good for multiple patches at this point

spice surge
#

(obv its their internal data they mostly base on, but its similar to the wcl statistics)

weary spear
#

You just called it a balanced spec

haughty flicker
#

Being good on 3 bosses and mediocre on the rest isn't nerf material

waxen oyster
#

People act surprised when a burst spec does well

#

on a damage amp

royal lantern
#

@spice surge you know, it is funny just how it goes every single tier lol

week1 everyone was crying how assa is broken OP everywhere and will be played everywhere no exceptions

then its week2 and sub was played on the last few bosses and IMMEDIATLY its "sub is too great everywhere and needs nerfs", and suddenly assa is called bad lol

#

can we be normal for once about it

warm vortex
#

Tbh i just want blizzard to make survival a good raid spec again

#

Please make us able to use flanking and butchery at ocne

waxen oyster
#

rh always have the one off smoothbrains

lets be serious rn

#

Survival seems to be doing pretty decent atm idk

#

It's just not ranged so gg

dense cedar
#

survival so cool

waxen oyster
echo heath
#

Sub is really good....when played by the best players in the world

deft shore
sullen hedge
warm vortex
# haughty flicker Survival seems to be doing pretty decent atm idk

Yea, but the problem with survival in raid is that you have to chose between btuchery and flanking
Flanking is absolutly insane in ST and butchery is nuts in aoe
But you have to chose, so SV is religated to ST from what i've seen atm

But yknow, MM high roll completly tramples over the other 2 hunter specs

waxen oyster

or reddit

royal lantern

royal lantern

i will laugh and cry

waxen oyster
#

not a strong case

dense cedar
#

sub rogue huge damage but its still a rogue so no one will play it or want to bring more than like a max of 2

spice surge
echo heath
dense cedar
#

like no matter how strong a rouge spec is

deft shore
dense cedar
#

its not gonan repalce bring the strong dps than also have other things going on

waxen oyster
#

The redditor is pretending to be smart

royal lantern
#

like, its just such a weird call lol

how can you say sub is this giga OP spec that needs emergency nerf when there was literally a single rogue but like 4 evokers and 3 shamans lol

spice surge
royal lantern
#

rogue IS strong rn

spice surge
#

Sub needs to be nerfed fr fr garf_sit

warm vortex
#

Sometimes... I dream of cheese

royal lantern
#

and probably all 3 specs get some smaller notches downards

spice surge
#

Need to be even lower

royal lantern

but they are worlds away from problematic lol

echo heath

blizzard has been known to do some outrageous shit in tuning, remember warlocks before legion were told to simply not play demonology

dimensius is not going to be like that regardless for 99% of the playerbase

thorn thorn
warm vortex
#

I mean
What spec is going to get nerfed if any, elemental?

thorn thorn
#

2 recent events of specs intentionally getting shit tuning

waxen oyster
#

Demo was still good

thorn thorn
#

Ele and Pres

warm vortex
#

I want them to change the MM tier set so it's fun to play

thorn thorn
#

And probably mm

warm vortex
#

Meh

echo heath
#

i mean how many tuning passes does blizz even have left in them this expansion, one maybe? there's a higher chance they just leave shit as is and maybe fix a few bugs

waxen oyster
#

they’re not gonna nerf mage

warm vortex
#

MM just has giga highroll

waxen oyster
#

blizz’s golden child

#

alo the average mage player sucks

warm vortex
#

That's the only reason it's coming up as super high damage on logs

thorn thorn
#

waxen oyster
#

serious question

#

has dev ever been bad

#

or just not played when aug is overtuned

thorn thorn
#

Yes

#

Amirdrassil

royal lantern
thorn thorn
#

Thats the one season they were very shit

waxen oyster
#

That was also an aug season

thorn thorn
#

Ignoring aug it was still a very shit season for them

dense cedar
#

talking about the history of evoker balance feels silly

thorn thorn
#

It was the one season they werent middle of the pack

#

So far

dense cedar
#

it came out like last week

buoyant herald
#

Kinda wild that ele just got handed a 20% buff out of no where then proceeded to top the charts for the whole race

warm vortex
#

Dragons can't balance, have you ever seen one walk the tightrope?

buoyant herald
#

Probably first in line for nerf yeah

humble verge
thorn thorn
#

Dev also just had an omega shit set bonus that season too

waxen oyster
#

I mean they let enhance be a meme

#

for an entire season

thorn thorn
#

omega shit to play

buoyant herald
#

Bro I’ll tell you. Our enhance is having a REAL bad time pivoting to ele lol

thorn thorn
waxen oyster
#

but idk if aug is ever good it usually doesnt promote dev being played

humble verge
warm vortex
humble verge
thorn thorn
#

Aug is good enough to be played in the race but dev was still played

#

It depends on the boss

waxen oyster
#

so nerf aug

thorn thorn
#

Aug will benefit from bosses with damage amps that meet certain windows than dev will

humble verge
#

is that supposed to be my latitude and longitude

#

vend

thorn thorn
#

But Dev is also just a much more consistent pick in general

warm vortex
#

No it's just some numbers i had written dow

thorn thorn
#

Its way easier to play

warm vortex
#

I forgot what they are for

thorn thorn
#

And its not grafted onto your team for performance

waxen oyster
#

no evoker spec

#

is hard though

thorn thorn
#

So even if it does a few % less it will still be worth over aug unless you are really trying to wring the dps

warm vortex
#

Tbh

waxen oyster
#

its just not frost dk

warm vortex
#

i want them to nerf ret

waxen oyster
#

or ret pally level of drooler

for the sole reason to say fuck you to the discord

#

do it for the funny, not for the balance

Sanguine blades is a big boy

warm vortex

Gonna be honest aug has the dumbest playerbase

warm vortex

if they generate threat then the enemies attack them

waxen oyster

even more than bm

Aug had a playerbase?

u can see its energy

os

#

so

#

ye

#

wemo

robust jasper
#

Yeah but you'd have to anticipate it pretty far ahead of time right

winged sun
#

the way i play it is that we always have adds right?

#

we pull funnel

robust jasper
#

Takes a while to pull off mark ye?

winged sun
#

so u can rupture those

#

refresh bleeds

warm vortex
robust jasper
#

Aaaah

winged sun
#

and time ur mark

#

to be darkest night before it despawns

dense cedar
#

They should give us echoing blades again

winged sun
#

thats how i do it

#

sometimes i lose mark intentionally to re apply it with vanish

#

because i dont want big dmg on adds for no reason

robust jasper
#

So you just have to outsmart it

waxen oyster
#

Sub is fun on the first boss

#

the adds spawn on sectec casts

robust jasper
#

Sounds annoying tbh

winged sun
#

ye i mean its not annoying no

#

its very easy to deal with

#

i never failed it so far since day 1 of season

worldly dock
#

Guys how do you deal with adds from ARAZ?
i cant get over 2.5m dps after wipe like 30%

winged sun
#

always 0 dps lost too

#

u just need to be aware that it disappears at 100 energy

#

and u work around that

warm vortex
#

What spec do you guys think makes the best steak

I’m thinking either fire or survival

#

They could both cook up a mean meal

winged sun
#

like if u mean its annoying that it disappears it is yes

#

but

#

its not annoying to deal with

#

very annoying that mark just ruins ur dps tho

worldly dock
waxen oyster
#

huh

#

i just spatter adds

#

We leave adds on the echo so i just move my mark to it

worldly dock
#

yeah..

thorn thorn
#

Cuz they stole it

waxen oyster
#

and spatter

so no need to bother dot adds

Preferences currently are wrist/dagger for embellishment depending on what you go for

Darkmoon Sigil Ascension (dagger) + Writhing Banding (wrist) is generally "the best" overall, but Blessed Weapon Grip + Dawnthread can be VERY VERY slightly better in m+

Always craft a dagger for at least an offhand. Put Ascencion or Blessed Weapon Grip on it. Additional Crafts should be Wrist (maybe Belt later in the patch after dropping the delve belt) for your second embellishment, after that whatever low item level slot is fine, necks can be good crafts.
If you have a myth track weapon in your main hand already read the above and pick whatever you prefer

FOTM Info

  • Fatebound is not playable in any AoE situation, and ESPECIALLY not in Mythic+. Don't bother.

  • Tuning is nowhere near done and realistically won't be until mid-September; unless you enjoy playing rogue there is no point in you rerolling at this time, we don't bring anything impactful (e.g big aoe stops/party buff) to the group

  • PTR sheets and PTR sims are borderline misinformation with how rapidly things are changing and most sims are not currently updated at this time. Again, this will fix itself as we get deeper into the patch and things solidify, but judging a reroll off of PTR tier lists and random sims or seeing one guy pump super hard on a stream is not indicative of anything.

!stats

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

but complete nonsense if you're trying to get any usable info from it

hearty seal

also
I don't know enough so I'll ask
is there any other hero talent that's as remotely fucked up as Deathstalker? not like in terms of damage, but in terms of usability/being poorly integrated into how the game works (i.e. losing mark when a dead enemy isn't actually DEAD, losing mark turning off most of your hero talents entirely, and no way to reapply mark outside of a long CD use if you lost it)?

hearty seal
#

dude I know says Dark Ranger is similarly bad in that regard

blissful pumice

I got Lily, Prism and Crystal and i dont know if i should play double on use or one passiv trinket

Do you reapply garrote and rupture after Deathmark, or do you apply them first THEN Deathmark

where's crimson tempest?

where ct if cleave

minor coyote

ughh let me see

balmy condor

the raid build?

or the m+ build

minor coyote
balmy condor
#

okay raid build

minor coyote
#

this one, not sure what name was it on the wow guide

balmy condor
#

should probably see more rupture I guess?

#

are you hitting multiple targets with rupture

minor coyote
#

like swapping targets..?

#

i casted it on one target as soon as it expires

balmy condor
#

yes, applying rupture to all 3 of your targets

solar wyvern
#

You pressing fok or mut?

minor coyote
balmy condor
minor coyote
#

focusing on just doing the proper rotaation on one target

swapping targets is too advnace now 😄

balmy condor

that's going to hurt a lot

waxen oyster
#

shouldnt mut be in top 4

#

in raid build

balmy condor
#

I mean idk how long the fight it

#

1 min

#

is probably just cds

minor coyote
#

i casted twice kingbane

solar wyvern
#

Thats why i asked

minor coyote
#

and like 10sec more after 2nd kingbane

#

basically when i hit 0 energy

#

i stopped

#

xd

balmy condor
#

but yeh something is off

solar wyvern
#

Oh so like 1:30 yeah makes sense

minor coyote
balmy condor
#

I mean should still see mut though

minor coyote

so do i mut or fok when 3 targets?

waxen oyster

mut with vv

balmy condor

in that build you mut until 5

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

waxen oyster

but you’re supposed to maintain ruptures

balmy condor

but you consume ctw

you mean to apply to multiple enemies?

balmy condor

#

Yeah its a huge amount of energy

balmy condor

venomous wounds is very important

#

Each rupture is 7 energy per second basically

minor coyote

is ugh, rupture spreadable without swapping targets?

#

or i just swap targets manually

thorn thorn
#

You can just mouseover

balmy condor
#

there's a talent that spreads it but you don't take it and it requires stealth

lavish geyser

Is garrote with carnage up higher prio builder then Fok, even if all targets have garrote on them?

balmy condor

no

solar wyvern

You can tab target or just mouseover

# lavish geyser So yea?

The spec is currently plagued with bugs that harm its dps quite a bit, a nerf to it would just be killing the spec

if everything has garrote why would you garrote

i'll try one more time...

anything better..?

okay

#

you realize

thats what i wanted to ask, for example im missing one combo point to get the green bar to cast a spender, i always went with the logic of (garrote 1 point&cheaper) to get that one point

that mutilate can crit twice

right

MAINTAIN bleeds

it was only cause of the cp, i was just thinking that the cp generation was more important than the builder dmg. But ig not
