so i'll just be going pure ilvl and if its single items just sim it in the higher gear / vault in the end?

bitter solar
#

The correct answer is sim yourself.

#

BIS varies a lot based on x amount of stat you have. Because we like all the things.

thanks 🙂

Some people think we are sin rogue but we are actually sim rogue

You only have to clear until you receive your cloak.

I believe it was the end of the 3rd bundle of quests for the campaign.

unyielding netherprism how the hell do i use that propperly, do i need to wait for the 18 stacks? or just send it when deathmarks is up? feels kinda bad to wait for 18 stacks

#

question, how many catalyst we suppose to have?

bitter solar
marsh fjord
#

If you have 2k io

# silk merlin iirc?

iirc = if i recall correctly, Whispyr went through it on one of his videos and i don't remember which

I probably just wouldnt macro it. Just press the button

how much overall loss in m+ from bugs?

hey guys, on an aoe opener, what is the best timing to use your mutilate to proc caustic spatter?

#

after you dot everything up?

winged sun
#

not counting the other bugs

deep mango
#

also, realistically, how many ruptures/garrotes can we keep up?

marsh fjord
marsh fjord
thorn thorn
deep mango
indigo mulch
#

Honestly, i just garrote/rupture a couple of targets so i know i have the agi bonus then i just spam envenoms ;s

marsh fjord
#

because of how IC works

#

But outside of IC i dont dot more then 5 targets

deep mango
#

gotcha

#

do you mouseover ruptures?

marsh fjord
#

Yes

#

and garrotes

deep mango
#

with a lot of targets its essentially just fan, rupture, fan, rupture

#

right?

marsh fjord
#

You mean in your IC window?

#

with no bonespike up yes.

#

but its dependant on the how many targets

indigo mulch
#

You don't want to spam rupture constantly. There is a limit to how many you want to keep up if i remember correctly.

indigo mulch
#

Outside of IC that is

deep mango
#

shit i dont even know what bonespike is

marsh fjord
#

Outside of IC i dont do more then 5

deep mango
#

need to do a bit more reading

hasty harbor
#

hey guys, how's it going? I was wondering if anyone can guide me with what I'm doing wrong with Fatebound. I'm dealing double the damage with Kingsbane compared to the coins, and in most of the logs, I see people doing almost the same damage

deep mango
#

thanks for the answer

marsh fjord

#

when you rupture

balmy condor
#

(and @dim nymph @zealous skiff from the convo yesterday), I updated my weakaura with a toggle for that now, if you go to the rupture aura and then custom options, you can toggle which way to view it

deep mango
#

ohhhh

#

that's whats giving me my cps back!

marsh fjord
#

So you can like

deep mango
#

i was looking for that

marsh fjord
#

rupture/rupture

deep mango
#

is it rng?

#

no

marsh fjord
#

mostly my openers looks like this

#

no

deep mango
#

its a debuff

#

i see

dim nymph
#

@balmy condor so you did go the custom option route haha

balmy condor
marsh fjord
#

Stealth - Ambush - rupture - rupture - garrote garrote - CT - mut - Garrot if more needed or rupture if more needed. DM - shiv - and FOK envenom spam @deep mango

balmy condor
#

hopefully it's not a pain in the ass to maintain

#

feature bloat NotLikeRowlet

dim nymph
#

@marsh fjord a single ambush into a rupture so you are sending you first rupture with low cp?

keen spruce
#

the order is not important

marsh fjord
#

i missed that part

keen spruce
#

bush gar rup rup gar gar ct mut is fine too

#

if you have cp left over from the last pull is can just be bush rup

#

it's just apply mark, apply bleeds, CT, mutilate

deep mango
#

hmm what talent is it that makes bone spikes redund cp

marsh fjord
#

Sometimes im coming out of a pack with 5 cps and then i just instantly rupture so remembering and typing it out is yikes

deep mango
#

i dont see it

keen spruce
#

doesn't bone spike do it

#

itself

balmy condor
keen spruce
#

that's wut it does now

deep mango
#

im dumb

obsidian harbor
#

Hi guys, is a bit low for my equip this dps, right?

marsh fjord
#

read down

marsh fjord
obsidian harbor
#

(M+ 9, bleed build)

marsh fjord
#

Overall has a lot to do with how your tank is pulling

dim nymph
#

@obsidian harbor honestly probably not the amount of agil we get from a single peice makes up a decent chunk of dmg

marsh fjord
#

we cant say its bad or good

deep mango
#

i don't really understand this refund mechanic, so i use a 7 point rupture and it applies bone spike

#

and how much does it refund on my first rupture on opener?

marsh fjord
#

and you rupture

#

you apply 3 bonestacks

deep mango
#

ahhh

marsh fjord
#

so you get a 3 CP return

deep mango
#

because you do aoe ruptrue

#

that makes sense

marsh fjord
#

if im saying that right

deep mango
#

god this class is so big brain

marsh fjord
#

people cna correct me

#

but i think thats how it works

dim nymph
#

@deep mango people really do under estimate how difficult this class can be

marsh fjord
#

Because your rupture is applying the bone spike

#

@balmy condor was there also an mechanic with bonespike and critting to get more CP?

#

or was i dreaming

balmy condor
#

well yeh

#

bone spike gives cp

obsidian harbor
balmy condor
#

it can crit

#

crit is cp

marsh fjord
#

yeah so max is 5 CP right?

balmy condor
#

depends how many are out

marsh fjord
#

if you rupture with IC out

#

whats the max gain of CP you can get?

dim nymph
#

@obsidian harbor warcraft logs has an app you can download to use logs

balmy condor
#

5 I guess idk

#

I haven't paid attention

#

enough to finihs

dim nymph
#

@obsidian harbor or im pretty sure even the raider.io app does live tracking by default

marsh fjord
#

yeah i dont think it extra crits the CP because its only 1 spell

silk sundial
#

On the fatebound opener, shiv,dm,kb. Is it better to use your 2nd shiv as soon as the 1st shiv ends, leaving off the tail end of kb, or do you rupture the last 8 seconds of kb?

marsh fjord
#

you dont want to wait for your KB

#

you only do that on the last 8 seconds of your solo KB

#

So just 8 seconds later you shiv again in the opener

#

if that makes sense to you

obsidian harbor
silk sundial
#

I tried it both ways, didn't really feel much of a difference. I'm sure the numbers don't lie

obsidian harbor

#

could it be that I need to have more critical strike? or am I doing something wrong? sometimes I hit it right, and other times I don’t hit it at all

marsh fjord
#

But stats are rarely the problem

hasty harbor
#

alright, I’m going to do LFR and send over the logs, thanksss!

glacial lantern
#

Is internal bleeding ever worth taking?

#

Seems really bad on paper

haughty flicker
#

in pure st

#

if you get basically any spatter value at all you though take spatter

glacial lantern
#

Woudln't you just wanna cast envenom?

thorn thorn
haughty flicker
#

?

thorn thorn
#

Its bad

haughty flicker
#

you're still keeping your bleeds up in st

thorn thorn
#

And you only take it in raw ST because spatter has zero st value

glacial lantern
#

Oh wait

#

It's kidney and rapture

haughty flicker
#

ye the kidney part is just completely ignored

glacial lantern
#

I ignored the rapture part because i remembered this talent from wod

haughty flicker
#

its very shit but the alternative does literally nothing in st

Hello sorry for bothering, i've been trying to get into assass, and seen alot of videos, but i just can't seem to click with it, sometimes i do 15m dps, sometimes i do 5m (aoe), i know that i suck but is there anyone i could watch that could make me understand better on how to play the spec on m+?

there are also these guides:

ah another question, does the 4pc set do alot of difference? or is just a slight upgrade

late ravine
main bridge
#

it's big. you can sim if you want an exact number

#

you do not need tier to play Fatebound

#

it's good even without it

late ravine
#

Nah buuuuuuuuuut

waxen oyster
#

4p makes fatebound a 1.5min spec

instead of 2min

what do we think of my garbage own customized frames

For hardmode Hooktail what build would be the best? I was thinking CT since we want to kil the adds but they have so slow hp maybe DM would be the way to go

deep mango

#

does follow the blood give you a trackable buff?? I can't find it

deep mango
#

maybe i just need more practice to get used to it

mint urchin
#

It's the mastery interaction with SP where it gets a bit complex, base dot application is super easy

shadow zealot
#

does sin or sub do better in raids?

mint urchin
wary prairie
#

ty

spice surge
#

Its not something you would need to track anyway, since if you can have rupture on 2 targets you should have that anyway

#

And it would be included in your scent/rupture trackers

thorn thorn
#

You mean plague?

#

Plague spreading is gonezo now that plague just adds damage from remaining duration into next cast

#

It also does no damage so its basically mastery fodder KEKW

fringe spear
thorn thorn
#

Oh

fringe spear
#

Nah its probably typo of dp

thorn thorn
#

Im gonna assume so

#

From what I was told ever since DP got changed to have remaining damage added to new applications spreading was just not worth doing

#

Pretty W change but it also means shadow is wrangled even harder by link

round vapor
#

!macro

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

mint urchin
#

And yes DP

#

Not VP

thorn thorn
#

I was told it was negligable since you can just slam them into one target and keep ramping its damage dealt

mint urchin
#

I dunno why I thought vampiric

thorn thorn
#

Since its effectively just mastery fodder with the high % link is now

#

I do not like archon

mint urchin
#

Maybe, I hate archon

thorn thorn
#

the voidform shenanigans they tried to cook feel fucking awful to play

mint urchin
#

So I haven't played much recently

#

I was stoked for DD based void weaver style

#

And then they killed it

thorn thorn
#

We got void volley at least

#

Very awesome ability

mint urchin
#

Very true but SP just needs entropic for all content other then high keys

#

Cause all packs die before you can play the game on anything below a 14

thorn thorn
#

Its fun in priory when you go to the left

#

You can oneshot yourself on the priest shield

#

Very funny

mint urchin
#

Man I played Arcane last season...

#

Killed myself many a times

thorn thorn
#

Its way worse now because the damage reflection got buffed for S3

haughty flicker
#

only reason i dont die on that shield is i save cloak for it now lmfao

#

its so funny

mint urchin
#

Love getting reflected for 20+mil

spice surge
#

But the shield is way larger

mint urchin
#

Building up a huge touch and reflect boom

thorn thorn
#

I just remember on the PTR it got buffed to 70%

#

And I was appalled by the change

onyx coyote
#

For loomithar do we go ST or cleavE?

spice surge
#

Ok nvm i was wrong

#

They buffed both

pliant remnant
thorn thorn
#

Yup

#

The shield is very funny I wont lie

onyx coyote
#

I noticed you can shadow step the thread thing but guessing thats notallowed

spice surge
thorn thorn
#

Happens garf_sit

thorn thorn
#

I think it was at like 35% last season

#

And its 70% now

spice surge
#

Going left seems unplayable in high keys anyway

thorn thorn
#

Best part is pet specs like BM arent immune either garf

spice surge
#

Because tank gets fucking blasted on the first boss if you do

#

But ye when you deathmark that shield you need cloak or jesus

thorn thorn
#

Both perferably

mint urchin
#

Yeah but right is also awful to have fire aoes and earth AOE on the ground

#

Neither is fun lol

haughty flicker
#

yeah but right side just fucks melee

#

and thats normal

#

now that the miniboss isnt cancer to fight thats probably the way it'll go in high keys

mint urchin
#

Way more kicks and just aoe chaos

heavy jolt
#

!pooling

prisma monolithBOT
#
  • Energy just is low on the spec there's nothing to do about it, you will run out
  • Only one pooling condition exists (pool around 4 seconds before non-deathmark kingsbanes until 150ish energy). This is worth 0.3%
  • Other optimizations are simply not impactful enough to show a benefit in sims, but pooling before quick-dying add spawns could in theory be a practical gain to pad.
thorn thorn
#

Take my word for it

#

Do not do priory with a boomkin and shadow priest

haughty flicker

#

yeah we bricked this 11

#

on the first boss

mint urchin
#

Do it and just hope the pack dies before solar beam ends

why they gotta do assa like that lol. just saw the whispyr video. ima stick with assa but ima be so sad just knowing that im losing so much dps lol

spice surge
#

Thats all rogue specs for ya

hexed harbor
#

its probly not a huge deal for me anyways considering im still pretty terrible at assa. but its practically pointless to have 4pc if it doesnt work right. let alone if hero spec talents arent working properly/at all its almost like theyre asking you to switch to sub or outlaw

balmy condor
#

oh sweet summer child

spice surge
#

Swap to the other specs where things arent working either

thorn thorn
#

Yea cuz sin is clearly the only spec in the game this broken

#

Its bad

haughty flicker
#

sub is famously bug free

hexed harbor
#

i mean hey idk anything about the other specs. so are we dropping rogue entirely now? KEKW

thorn thorn
#

Very buggy patch

haughty flicker
#

a safe bet

#

for sure

Yea sub

I mean you can do good damage and have fun even if things arent working as they should

does anyone have a focus macro for trinkets?

#

also just saying put out a charcuterie board and rogue buffs will be confirmed

hexed harbor
#

i also feel like im doing something wrong lol. cause i have a focus macro for tanks so i can focus use ToT on them

#

i know theres a weakaura or something i can use but i tried using it and it didnt work for me

naive crescent
#

Did you use the macro and the wa

hexed harbor
#

yeah, i directly followed the guide for it and it just didnt work for me

#

so i downloaded the weakaura, made the macro for it and tested it on a friend at the dummies and it didnt do anything

was your friend a tank in your party?

#

You literally never have to think about it

yeah it's so good

yeah i gave up cause i couldnt figure it out or really understand half of it. so i just settled with a focus macro into a focus cast

Yoooooo, I decided to come back to the game after a few months. Played all through season 1... Can someone give me a rundown of changes for the spec??

main bridge

still plays the same way

#

biggest change is that Fatebound is playable now on ST

torn herald

Good to hear. I see some of the guides are taking different talents. Like no kingsbane?

main bridge

yeah we play bleed in m+ now all the time

it got a few buffs

quartz lotus
#

hi guys, can't find a lot of info on this: assa rogue > deathstalker's mark stacks not consumed if I use 5+ cp finishers. is there smth I'm missing?

spice surge
#

If you have darkest night up you cant consume the stacks

#

So you have to use your darkest night

#

(its a bug)

hexed harbor
#

alright now i need a tank to experiement with this wa and macro on lol

quartz lotus
#

no way

wicked carbon
#

Damn

#

I didn't know about that bug

quartz lotus
#

it's quite significant too 🙁 just came back to learn some rogue and stuff just doesn't work

spice surge
#

Its not significant

quartz lotus
#

doesn't it do some nice flat dmg and buff 50% dmg for mutilation if stack is consumed? kinda core of the whole tree

spice surge
#

You should generally be using darkest night asap

#

And on ST you wont have the marks up while darkest night is up anyway

balmy condor
#

The core of the tree is darkest night

wicked carbon
#

Aren't we losing a lot of damage by not consuming darkest night before Rupture x2 + CT on opener then ?

mental thistle
#

what is the optimal to do when u got the double cd reduction, waiting to deathmark again, or use KB without CB ?

quartz lotus
#

hmmm maybe I just haven't noticed that it's because of darkest night. I spent 2-3 days thinking that stuff just doesn't work, even on ST

wicked carbon
#

So I should consume darkest night and only then start rupturing ?

quartz lotus
#

it's possible to play around it

spice surge
#

It doesnt affect how we play

#

Y'all are overthinking it

balmy condor
#

I mean you should prioritize darkest night over rupture generally

#

But you need rupture for caustic

#

And you don’t wanna throw your carnage window away

quartz lotus
#

I had no clue what was going on, now that you say it's darkest night and I think a bit then it's not that bad, you're right

balmy condor
#

So on an opener you would want to rupture first for that obviously

wicked carbon
#

Yeah but with subterfuge I feel like we have a lot of time to spread dots

real granite
#

So, 5 ruptures > spatter > DN

quartz lotus
#

thanks for help Whispyr and Eleem!

balmy condor
wicked carbon
#

Yeah what Acroma said

hexed harbor
#

wow ok, now it wants to work. idk what i did wrong lmao

#

now that clears up a spot on my task bars. which means i can get a macro for focus targeting a mob.

#

and then filling out all the interrupt and ability macros if i want to

#

what is the optimal to do when u got the double cd reduction, waiting to deathmark again, or use KB without CB ?

#

It matches perfectly

nova kelp

#

If rupture falls off mid pack on aoe do you just manually start rupturing again ?

nova kelp
#

Often yes

#

There's a lot of variables to take into account though

thorn thorn
severe jacinth
#

Err

thorn thorn
#

do you just have a second monitor with a folder open

nova kelp
#

You DO want rupture up as much as possible. But HOW you get them changes potentially

#

Like. If you're fighting 5 mobs and your rupture is about to run out. But they're at liike 4% hp. Busting a vanish... Probably not the best move

haughty flicker
#

OR

#

you vanish and get giga sudden demise

nova kelp
#

At the same time. Your rupture is about to run out on 3 Mobs at 48% but you're also about to run into a section you know you're going to be chain pulling...
Busting your current 1 charge of vanish... Probably not a good move

severe jacinth
#

I see I see

#

Thanks toes person

nova kelp
#

Hahahaha

I will note though. Don't permanently sit on cds without using them at the same time. They're there to use. Just use them smart.

#

@balmy condor I'm thinking maybe making it painfully obvious in the wowhead guide that the opener for spreading bleeds in m+ is super generalized lol I think I've seen about 90 people today ask the same question haha

this was what i got for assa rotation for M+ does it match?

thorn thorn
#

Ok so 2 things

#

first is why are we taking advice from a paladin player

#

second

thorn thorn
#

why are we taking advice from someone named Coksynormus

hexed harbor
#

aye they sounded knowledgeable. dont ask me

thorn thorn
#

Yes Coksynormus

nova kelp
#

I mean. It will work. But it's inefficient

keen spruce
#

I mean I've seen worse kekdog

thorn thorn
#

The very well known sin rogue dracthyr_hehe

hexed harbor
#

only 2 things you can ask me is why im stupid and why im so bad at WoW

thorn thorn
#

Same king

marble hemlock

#

like it isn't that it's categorically wrong, it's that you're better off working to understand where your damage comes from in aoe than trying to memorize a combo

#

you don't have to burn a global on ambush if you have DN from the last pack, for example, and can get CT out faster

hexed harbor
#

i mean i took it as something to keep in mind, not to generally use it as a combo breaker or something lol. cause i screwed my rotation up for the entire dungeon so i literally never had energy that dungeon

keen spruce
#

The fundamentals are pretty much correct though

#

U just

#

ambush if you need mark

#

spread bleeds

#

CD

thorn thorn
keen spruce
#

CT*

marble hemlock
#

so you better pay royalties

thorn thorn
#

Thats funny

#

I wont

keen spruce
#

get spatter up

marble hemlock
#

but im glad its making the rounds

keen spruce
#

press cds

marble hemlock
#

was just so funny

thorn thorn
#

It showed up in Wyrmrest Temple

#

Favorited it instantly

gritty laurel
#

if you're energy starved in aoe you need to keep rupture up on 5 enemies (5 because it maxes scent stacks)

hexed harbor
#

they mentioned my caustic spatter needed to be higher on the dps chart which was probly the issue i had, alongside forgetting that auto using tea is a thing and that its literally the worst thing to come to rogue imo

gritty laurel
#

refer to my username

hexed harbor
#

your name is Despairge

gritty laurel
#

auto tea isn't making you starved in aoe

#

or in ST for that matter

keen spruce
#

just macro it to shiv and forget about it

#

if you're running out of energy in ST then you're not putting enough bleeds out

#

well ruptures specificially

#

in ST you're gonna starve that's normal

thorn thorn
#

If you are running out of energy in ST you are playing assassination in 2025

marble hemlock
#

i just randomly got gripped

#

bad RNG

hexed harbor
#

right but its the issue that i cant do my rotation and leave the tea out of it. i genuinely wish they had something in the settings for rogue so i can just never have it be automatically used

thorn thorn
drifting cloud
#

brother stop thinking about tea

gritty laurel
#

why would you want to leave tea out of the rotation? it's always up when your other cooldowns are up

drifting cloud
#

and fix your fundamentals

nova kelp
#

Ignore tea

keen spruce
nova kelp
#

Tea is only in your mind

#

There is no tea

thorn thorn
keen spruce
#

I crunched the numbers

nova kelp
#

Honestly they should just make tea completely passive. Just to stop people over complicating it more than they did when it was manual lol.

gritty laurel
#

somehow that'll just make them complain louder

thorn thorn
#

Its basically passive at this point

keen spruce
#

(it was like 100 pulls in and I was curious)

thorn thorn
#

Bro

#

Doing that kind of test

#

100 pulls in

#

Is diabolical

keen spruce
#

turns out

gritty laurel
#

it would be cool if tea timing mattered but the reality is that it just doesn't right now

keen spruce
#

you could actually not move a lot

#

of the time

hexed harbor
nova kelp
#

Limit testing deep in prog mid pull is absolute Chad behaviour

gritty laurel
#

it changes nothing, you just macro to shiv and forget that tea exists

keen spruce
#

cuz the CDs sync up

gritty laurel
#

like how we unbound slice and dice and forgot it exists

keen spruce
#

and otherwise it's just gonna drink the extra ones when you need energy

thorn thorn
#

Unless its like

#

2 targets

keen spruce
thorn thorn
#

But thats not really aoe thats just cleave

keen spruce
#

just tired and fed up

thorn thorn
#

Understandable

keen spruce
#

that was the first set

#

and I had cheat death kekman

hexed harbor
#

well the issue is im fine in high count aoe, but once that pack slowly dies out and im trying to pop my rotation again so like keeping some dots up and using mutilate i accidentally use too much energy sometimes and pop another tea.... or 2

#

its never a problem unless i forget to save energy

thorn thorn
#

Oh no

#

Anyway

#

Just rupture snipe

gritty laurel
#

popping tea isn't really a problem in that scenario. it sounds like you're not refreshing ruptures after carnage

#

which is a fundamentals issue

thorn thorn
#

Get mucho energy from rupture sniping

nova kelp
hexed harbor
thorn thorn
#

Also worth noting sin isnt a spec (currently) that is intended to just spam buttons constantly

#

In aoe energy is infinite

keen spruce
thorn thorn
#

But as target count lowers you will naturally just generate less

#

Just how it goes

keen spruce
#

and you're have infinite energy

gritty laurel
keen spruce
#

in AoE

#

and do fine dmg

cunning needle
#

just press buttons

#

keep up bleeds

#

press envenom with caustic

thorn thorn
#

I hate how accurate it always is

cunning needle
gritty laurel
#

i love it for that reason

thorn thorn
#

It just pisses me off how fucking real it is

gritty laurel
#

it also applies to worrying about the threat of using public wifi

cunning needle
#

im still waiting for a chance to drop this picture again

nova kelp
#

Noooooo but the phish?!

thorn thorn
nova kelp
#

Hahhaahha the "shoots massive crafting order" gets me

hexed harbor
#

i probly need to refresh my memory on what everything looks like. makes sense why im not so good cause i havnt played assassin before. so this is the first time. still surprisingly doing good dps when i get it right tho so its fun

cunning needle
#

yeah honestly if you time the key

#

youre not competing on the tank for damage

#

who cares

gritty laurel
#

it takes time like any other spec, you'll work it out

cunning needle
#

yeah things will click

keen spruce
#

and generally do your CDs correctly

#

and stuff will just happen

cunning needle
#

just don't hold cooldowns

#

thats probably the #1 mistake people make in m+

keen spruce
#

yeah in keys it's better to just send on CD like 99% of the time

arctic shale
#

anyone know the "melee range" of kick?

cunning needle
#

thinking they need to hold their cd for a big pack

keen spruce
#

even if it's like a 5pack before a boss

#

just fuckin send it

cunning needle
#

yup

arctic shale
#

3, 4, 5 yards?

gritty laurel
#

a wise cat ear anime avatar once said "a bad kingsbane is better than no kingsbane"

cunning needle
#

the entire dungeon is one big boss fight

cunning needle
#

so 5 yards

keen spruce
#

you'll end up with like 3-4 more DM casts

#

over the dungeon

#

do way more dmg

cunning needle
#

reminder that you have a 30% nature damage amp or something

hexed harbor
#

yeah since ive been running higher keys now ive been trying to learn the situational stuff and get better at using my rotation properly alongside, remembering that i can pop deathmark alot more in pulls and off cooldown which will help alot

cunning needle
#

after DM runs out

nova kelp
#

As sin you have time to vibe

hexed harbor
#

my big question is do i just spam envenom even with caustic spatter up?

cunning needle
#

yes

nova kelp
#

So long as your bleeds are going. Yes

gritty laurel
#

spatter is the reason to spam envenom in aoe

hexed harbor
#

i know that at some point ill learn the times on when i just need to auto, and then pop dots on things alongside keeping caustic spatter and envenom up

gritty laurel
#

the fun part for aoe is that you don't just stand and auto, you have enough energy to go hog wild

#

but yeah, for bosses you'll feel it out

nova kelp
#

I mean honestly we could just make a !pooling command that just had moroes reply "don't"

hexed harbor
#

yeah, in raid i dont have an issue cause mechanics are mainly happening so i always have a good point in time where i can regen energy. but for dungeons its sometimes hard to keep up especially if im not smart with rotations or keeping energy for something

gritty laurel
#

keep enough ruptures out to cap scent and you won't even notice energy problems, i wouldn't overthink "keeping energy"

nova kelp
#

I would say "energy isn't real it can't hurt you" but like it factors into other things too

hexed harbor
#

ah ok yeah, i swear ive read the talent tree like 5million times over to try and learn it but i always forget some things

thorn thorn
#

Maybe they will give the bleed energy regen that fancy new system wildstalker and apparitions on shadow use

hexed harbor
#

like i see it happening and noticed it happening but never could put the two together.

thorn thorn
#

Might even result in not being energy starved in ST and energy overflow in aoe

gritty laurel
#

i dunno, i'm not sure i want to be yet another GCD locked spec

spice surge
#

I dont think they necessarily need to increase the energy regen

#

They just need to give us a reason to care about energy

#

Like the chaining of envenoms s3 of dragonflight felt pretty good

#

You would sit and afk with a purpose waiting for something specific

#

Instead of "guess i cant press buttons now"

thorn thorn
#

Which also wouldnt do anything

#

Currently anyway

#

No reason to care about energy garf_sit

calling meld a vanish

upper spear

haughty pewter

what's a DM proc

haughty pewter

Deathstalkers Mark

main bridge

not sure i would call that a proc

haughty pewter

the guaranteed crit w/ 60% increased damage

main bridge
#

that's Darkest Night

haughty pewter
#

Well it's guaranteed, but until its up, that's what im doing. well yeah that

main bridge
#

and the essence of your rotation is using finishers to get back to DN as soon as possible

#

it's good to use CT but it's not the only priority

haughty pewter
#

I know that, keeping rupture up on targets that'll live, garrote on the main target, and caustic spatter, only using 5 combo points+

haughty pewter
# coral ibex its a dot

I know its a dot, I just seee my damage is larger when I use CT at 5+ over envenom in large packs, unless there's a darkest night proc

coral ibex
#

once you apply CT you dont need to reapply it before pandemic

runic hinge
#

Youre just refreshing the dot

coral ibex
#

envenom into your caustic target is better

#

i'm 100% sure

nova kelp
#

If you hit fewer things with the new ct you might also make the refreshed version weaker

#

Regardless though. Still better off spattering like a 🌽⭐

haughty pewter
#

I'd love to spatter around, I just see my dps noticeably fall off overall when i do that, and with the CT spam I can keep up with Frost DK's and Arcane Mages

nova kelp
#

I mean. That just can't be the case

main bridge
#

why are you here if you don't care about what the guide or anyone else says?

coral ibex
#

you must be playing with extremely bad players if CT spam is "keeping up" with frost dk's and arcane mages

#

like

nova kelp
#

If you hit ct twice in a row you've not gained any damage

coral ibex
#

it is simply impossible to "keep up" by spamming your CT dot

#

with players that know how to play the game

nova kelp
#

You're gained a potential tick at the END

coral ibex
#

CT does do some alpha damage but its not an amount that is worth spamming

nova kelp
#

I mean yeah that's fair for accuracy tbf

#

But still

haughty pewter
main bridge
coral ibex
#

are you telling me you think most of these envenom casts should be CT refreshes?

dapper parcel
#

Newb question peeps. Playing the Shiv / DS build for mythic dungeons. Are you guys binding tea to your shiv or to you DM cooldown?

main bridge
#

!shiv

prisma monolithBOT
#

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

nova kelp
#

@haughty pewter
In the end the gist is
Get DSM up. Maintain bleeds. Use cds and spam envenom.

This is actually the same for aoe and st
The only diff is how many things you bleed.

keen spruce
#

don't do that

#

it's just a bleed

main bridge
#

even if you knew nothing about rogue it should be obvious that spamming a DoT is not correct

keen spruce
#

don't spam ct

coral ibex
#

surely reading this will clear it up

#

as it shows that CT is a dot

#

yo, one question. So many vods say assa rogue has funnel dmg. Someone knows how assa has funel dmg?

proud charm
#

Yo doing 15s in my first assa character this season, are you guys saving vanishes x1 stack in case your tank wants to chain pull, or are you using it all in to get more dmg ?

keen spruce
#

either can be correct situationally

proud charm
#

You loss a lot I feel if you spend all your vanish stacks, overall wise; if tank are chainoulling a lot.

Like in AraAra or Hattonements

#

Correct me if i am wrong

keen spruce
#

idk I never had an issue in ara in s1

#

you just kind of keep rolling ruptures through the whole first area

#

get stealths when you can

#

if you're in comms just tell your tank if you need a restealth for a specific pull when your vanishes are down

#

that only happens like maybe once a dungeon though normally peeposhrug

spring prawn
tacit wedge
#

Thats atrocity for sure

nova kelp
#

The worst thing at the start of arakara is your bleeds selecting the tiny little adds that just pop.

keen spruce
#

but if anyone has any other aoe they die instantly anyways

#

first pull is just big spoody anyways

#

let spatter do the heavy lifting

#

2nd area is pretty much all big explody guys

#

and 3rd platform is kind of the same as 1

coral ibex
#

its a paid ui pack

#

but its built on jundies

#

so you could use jundies and its pretty much the same
