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.
Sorry if this has been asked but if you dbl proc the 4p cdr what is the correct play? I’ve been holding kb for the 1minute death mark and just delaying trinket.
Holy shit that is so real

I'm having a really hard time seeing how long I have on my garrotes and ruptures do you guys have a trick or like a WA for that?
should use a standard class wa for that
if u mean on other targets
you want a good plater profile

@dense cedar how do you import a plater profile?:)
thanks a lot that was really helpful
Almighty assa rogues! I need your help pls with a few questions and it would be lovely if you could help me! When i prepare for my Deathmark CD, i want to have Garotte and Rapture running, do i want to have an active Envenom debuff as well?
And: Should i prep combo points, when i pres Deathmark?
- When do I use shiv, outside of Deathmark? 🙂 Absolutly pres it on CD (and having 2 Shivs for Deathmark, when it comes of the CD?) Or do i want shiv for a specific attack? 🙂

if you are playing with kingsbane yes, you want to envenom before pressing deathmark
if you are playing the bleed build in keys you do not have to
you dont need to have combo points going into deathmark
shiv usages varies a bit depending on the build and whether its raid or m+

Yeah, checked them but wasnt sure about this + i see now that the visibilty on mobile trolled me on the guide. Thanks a lot!
I got 5 bucks that it's a droptimizer with shitetto
oooo

You can get 200k by swapping them lmao
fml

should i go for radiant power?
Damn where’s my 5 dollars
aight
np
am I tripping or is sudden demise straight up not working sometimes?
huh
are you in open world or delves
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/9wzZDS9xWVFVyAJpyFebUc that'll take a bit
I did notice it heavily in a mythic where it was doing nothing and in the next it was very high
but should have everything
I also added the rings in that you had
they only cost weathered/carved crests and valorstones
which shouldn't be an issue in the slightest
so I just tossed them in for the hell of it
haven't played delves since start of season so I don't know
okay
cause it doesn't work outside of instanced content
due to world scaling
works fine in instanced content though
reading into it and some people say it should proc at 35% regardless if its an execute or not and thats doesn't make sense
Thank you Whisp
np
yeah that doesn't make any sense
ill try more and see
you need 150 bleed damage remaining on the target for every 100 health remaining on the target
on top of it being under 35%
so if you have lets say 10 million bleed damage remaining on the target, you would execute when the target dips under 6.6 mil
@balmy condor can you link your cold blood kingsbane macro by any chance? The ones I find does not work, seems bugged for me as they won't cast CB
!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
if the macro isn't working, you might've swapped from sub
in which case the game breaks
for fun
heres another question. if there are 2 rogue assassins and one has more bleed and procs it does the second person lose out on the sudden demise damage 👀
try relogging
well yeah duh
you can't have 2 people killing something lmao
things can only die once
so if one of the rogues executes the target
and it dies
well... its dead
tell that to kelthuzad
James Bond You Only Live Twice disagrees 
this cb thing is the weirdest thing
like how is it a different spell
but not really
well it has to be
I cast a spell on you
inevitability changes what cold blood does
nah but it was never like that tho wasnt it
like my weak aura
that track cb
track cb normally but on fatebound it doesnt work
but its still there
i need to track another cb
but the other one is still there tho
and like there is nothing thats like that in the game tho
yes
blindside functions the exact same way
the ambush id from blindside is a different ambush than regular ambush
oh well yuo dont have to tell me that
remember audacity ambush is stronger than normal mabush for outlaw

okay but you just said there's nothing that like that in the game
well like
and we just provided two examples that are the exact same thing in the game
They fixed the buggs or?
Fake its 10 am
yup
yeah the famous european timezone that blizzard operates in

I'm sure they saw the pin I wrote at 2pm on a saturday and the video I released at 4am on a sunday
and decided
"yeah, you know what, he's right. I'm gonna go into the officer on a sunday afternoon, fix all the bugs, and then push it to live servers without any testing"
Maybe they should start doing that 
"that's a reasonable course of action that I take at my programming job"
It’s 4 am on Monday chop chop
Regression Tests would be a first good start 🤔
Call me officer, if you are the dev
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/K4VrdgvtNHTmjWkC?fight=26&type=damage-done&source=11
Can someone please help me out with this? Its damn grey.. 🫡
high level stuff right off the bat, you're losing legit like 2% dps because you're running a shit delve belt power for no reason, and you missed a full set of cds cause you kept delaying kingsbane by a couple seconds every time
you're not casting an envenom before going into any of your cds either
on your 3min cds you fucked your vanish super hard
probably could've rupture snipped some of the tangles at a couple points
think you're also severely lacking crit but I can't tell from the overview cause that panel is kinda janky
no crit neck, jastor diamond has no crit
idk what your roulette wheel has but 2/3 accessories not having crit is pretty awful considering it's fatebounds main stat
Unrelated (probably dumb) question - Let’s say we’re running cursed stone idol as our in-use instead of an on-use mastery trinket. Imagine we’re losing a massive chunk of DPS during fatebound CD windows due to envenom scaling?
think about what happens when both mut hits crit
you end up going mut > env instead of mut mut > env
Good points to work on! Like it, 5/5 Stars, thank you, Sir! @balmy condor
np
That’s fair, guess the Q Would be is there not a diminishing return point on overall crit in your build where you’d start to really favor mastery on use
crit without mastery sucks and the reverse is true too]
both give value to the other
if you have 40k crit and 0 mast
then mast on use probably good
like think of it as building a fence
I give you 40k stat worth of fencing
and I tell you to make the biggest area you can
are you gonna go 39k stat in one direction and 1k in the other direction?
probably not
build the fence !
doesn't make sense to full stack one stat, cause then the area you fenced in is dogass skinny
and the total area sucks
the way you maximize area is by making all the side lengths as close to equal as possible
In AOE m+ situations where i apply garrote + rupture to let's say 6 targets at the start and then start pumping my prio damage. Do I need to reapply the garrote + rupture to the 6 targets again after the duration or just keep on my main target ?
which is kinda how secondaries work in wow as well
obviously it's not PERFECTLY analogous, like of course it's not crit x mastery = dps
there's some differences in value
but in the grand scheme that's kinda true
like you might've noticed that when you full stack crit and mast
all of a sudden you sim and your sim goes "give me a ton of haste"
cause like
you fully invested into 2 stats and forgot the other dimensions of your fence
You dont need Crit, when you just hit the 10%
everaytime
(for legal reason this is a joke)
rupture yes, garrote no
you want scent of blood, and you want energy
rupture is really good at doing those things
garrote unstealthed is awful
gives no combo points, does measly damage
Excatly
the other way to think about stats is that they're all multiplying a base number
say your envenom is 100 damage baseline
then you have agility, mastery, crit, vers
1 point of agility might be 0.8 damage, 1 point of mastery might be 1.2 damage, crit might be 1.1, vers might be 1
but like
if you go "mastery biggest number me put everything mastery"
then you're doing 100 x 1 x 100 x 1 x 1
which isn't really going to be a big number
Is there an amount of targets where the cutoff is to apply my dots? I'm thinking 5 targets for the 20% stat increase. Is it worth it to use vanish and then reapply garrote + rupture that way? As I assume the garrote dmg is increased for those 6 seconds after stealth, that count as being stealth.
but if you spread it out a little more evenly, like 100 x 20 x 30 x 25 x 25
then gg
bigger number achieved
bigger number better person
- yes, 5 ruptures for scent is the baseline.
- that is basically the entire use case of vanish, yes
- correct
why is a grid of enemy nameplates not possible? did they just ban the addon or made it impossible to even create one? could I just create a proprietary one and use it for myself? 🙂 trying to snipe nameplates with rupture annoys me
wdym by a grid of nameplates
something like what healers use to play whack a mole with health bars, but instead you would use it with enemies to mouseover rupture on their frames
oh
that's cause the API doesn't exist for that
nameplates are inherently attached to their units in game
would kinda make the game fighting the ui instead of fighting enemies
you can't decouple the nameplate from the unit
the API allows you to move it around and recolor and resize and whatever
but you can't detach it from the unit
I see, thx
Makes sense on the stats, used to fury over capping haste so figured there may be some angle where there’s a soft cap. In retrospect I may just be making myself too mast heavy
ay whisp, do you have any kind of cook for araz incase i can't learn s3 sub fast enough for araz? idk how to play around 4pc bug at all
Thank you! Last question: I'm opening from stealth with ambush but does my ambush also apply deathstalker's mark for the 3 seconds after exiting stealth where I can still use ambush or do I HAVE to be in stealth? And I assume it can only apply to one target.
I can copy cd timers from that 1 kr guy who killed it as sin but it just doesn't line up every 4th pull
Compared to other logs, they often have around 100 envenoms and I only casted 66 for the equal amount of mutilate. Also due to the missing crit for combo point procs, ig?
I'm gonna be honest I think the cook on araz with all the fuckass bugs is just playing fatebound and you hold prism for the amps and pissvibe
pray everyone in your guild pads aoe hard enough for you to just perma sit boss
fair, i'm allowed to fullsend boss
yeah
rl approved
I would try fatebound
damn wtf
but ill do mid overall
just force yourself to 0:45 timer
in your opener when you hit 7 on a coin
just delay your next finish
wait for the coin to hit you
then continue
it's ass to hit the brakes like that for 1-2 gcds
but you'll avoid the bug
probably.

if you do hit the bug, just play around your cold blood cd, rather than kb or dm
that helps actually
you can apply the mark during subterfuge, yes
most likely yes. There's also a bug with fatebound tails coins critting giving combo points
so you just double lose
there's also fate intertwined
which is directly just bonus damage on envenom crits
fatebound has a lot of extra crit interactions

guys in a big pull (like arakara first pull to miniboss) HOW DO YOU GUYS SEE UNDER YOUR FEETS?
i always die cause im standing on shit
that first pull is so funny
jsut enough things going on at once it be scary
i case of doubt - press a def
@clever sparrow try a crosshair on you type of weakaura if cant see, "everyone" used it on mythic jaina because of the really dense fog, and a lot of people uses till today. you wont see ur character and a (insert color) cross.
may help you
but like there is lots of ally spells there thats my point
do you have your spell density turned up or something

in wow essential still sorta sucks
Just watched the bug video... Explains why I went from the top of the meters to the bottom half this week!
Well, that and being a bit shit.
Feeling you…
I suspect they'll 'fix' it in a few weeks
Hy guys for assa fate bound what stats in need
look at the bright side, if blizzard wants to buff assa, just fix the bad bugs, and for nerfing fix the beneficial bugs
!gear
agi, crit, mast
EVERYTHING
give it all to Papa
And what number cap ? 😅
NO CAPS
am i back to combat rouging ? ❤️
I got the hero chest of the dh boss can i replace old tier?
sim
Wtf no cap and hate no need or need a little sry for my English
do you lost a 2p? do you already have the 4p of new tier?
!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
then dont
you'll lose a lot from losing your 2p
dont even need to sim that 

Yeah, up to 30% envenom damage disappearing for an extra 1-2iLvl is not a good trade
this used to exist for one patch in Legion when Blizz unlocked the API for it sufficiently
then they blocked it again and bricked the addon with it
best you can do today is a decent Plater setup (still far from being as good as a grid)
guys whats dn

yep, blasted on Soulbinder during the first week and it wasn't even close
only top-3 yesterday
does shiv also buff singular focus?
it does
im out of the loop whats the bug
pinned msgs
kk
momentum of despair is fucked with 2p DS and more
but yeah, pin has it
i think the takeawa from the video was that there is like 15% dmg from aoe just missing/gone
Man, so thats why my damage just dropped.
I was just about to get ahead of my DK friend -_-
i was confused why 2p lowered my damage and assumed i kept fucking up my opener
why mages doing tank dps?
ngl as soon as it's fixed (if it's fixed)
Assa is doing casual 20m like without even trying on many first pulls
I added some honorable mentions cause you reminded me
im not sure if this is a "bug" but i found out that if you shiv during DN buff you re-gain the buff, gaining the energy back as well (so you can technically get the energy from getting the DN buff twice)
or maybe this has already been discovered
yeah it's really great
and makes a mess on weakauras
if you do that it sometimes stop tracking the deathstalker mark
happened on a key and I didn't have vanish, until suddenly the mark came back
honestly I think maybe tomorrow I make a part 2 video or something
cause people have been pointing out all these extra bugs
which have been around for a while
or I just forgot to add/didn't think about
I didn't originally intend to add like EVERY bug
just the new ones or the annoying ones
how do you even reach out to blizzard with this stuff because if it doesn't leave the rogue bubble there is almost no point
they know
maybe delete the discord for a couple days too
yeah close down the book club
And create a Auto Decline Assa Weakaura
paladins got buffed like tha
no more bingo night at the retirement home until evil british petroleum lowers the price of oil
lmfao and be like paladins?
they didn't
dirty zealots
Is this what's been turning my DN to DsM randomly in aoe pulls???
no you're pressing ambush during subterfuge
because of their cringe ass fucking stunt
Hmmmmmmmmm
is assa buggy in m+ ?
vanish and fixed
my dps skyrocketed in raids with 4p, but in dungeons I didn't feel the difference at all
deathstalker feels so bad
I am I'm 90% sure I'm not pressing muti/ambush but geforce experience thing has been bugging out and I haven't been able to get a clip
4pc bonus is just better on fatebound
In fatebound the second shiv in DM windows should be used to cover DM not the end of KB right
also not having to juggle the mark feels so good omg I forgot how good it was to be able to change targets
it was a nightmare to juggle the mark on the forge boss
I just changed to fatebound+caustic spatter and I was in heaven
4pc on deathstalker doesn’t messing up the rotation, yeah?
yeah just try to not shiv when u have darkest night
makes you not want to press shiv on 0 stacks of the mark
other than that it's the same
120m+ rat and ill get my 4th piece 
hey can anyone explain me what is it that we wait on to avoid the 4p bug?
whispyr said to wait on the lucky coin but doesn't it only proc after we use all of our cds?
it triggers when you hit a 7 stack on a coin
so you hit a 7 stack
wait for it to hit you
then continue
ok thanks
Cant you just not wait?
Just wait for your cold blood to come of cd
At least thats what i do if i get the bug
i mean sure you could just line them up manually but you don’t really lose anything for waiting i think
some people's brains explode though

Real
like yes, in theory you could just hold and line everything back up
but it's pretty jarring
to see kb come up
and then hold
I love the convo we have anytime supercharged combo points get mentioned 
I thought we had to do this, we don't have to do this?
you wait between hitting 7cp and gaining lucky coin buff
till you get hit by the capstone coin
and then you cast the next finisher
the whole reason the bug is able to proc
is because you're able to finish
before the coin hits you
and it double triggers the lucky coin
Btw about the video, juster diamond sometimes brakes, and you have to reequip it, there is a wa that tells you when its broken (bug exists since release)
thank you yes
Ohhhhhhhhhh
Different bug
Oh, ty
that’s in the video already and reequipping doesn’t fix it like it used to
giving feedback on a video you didn’t watch is pretty wild

So doing this doesn't allow you to cast KB earlier, it just stops it coming back up early
Either way you cast it 45 secs after the last one
i mean yeah
but if you get the bug you’re just holding kb after it comes off cd for 15s
which feels weird
whatever feels more natural to do
True but do we not want to be spamming to fit as many GCDs in as possible
@balmy condor do we pool energy for a few sec before raw kingsbane on fatebound?
Instead if waiting for a projectile to hit
yes ofc
do you want to deal with the bug or not
How many sec would you say?
like I'm just offering a way to avoid the bug

it's not that fucking deep
if you can't handle waiting 1.5 gcds and you're gonna explode
then don't do that
and just get the bug and hold
Everything is deep for a long time member of the overthinkers society
same as always
So 10 sec roger
what
I go into KB with 250+ energy and still run dry/use more than 1 tea during it
Feelsbadman
double what
I still find it funny that the bug happens because a animation im pretty sure not many player even knew existed with the coin flying to you
Running out of energy in single target is completely normal, intended design of Assassination.

Ayyooo
Never
in what way am I lying
I swear one of your posts from 1 year ago told us to pool for 10 sec 
I don't like it because KB CD is now less than tea CD so if I use 2 teas in a KB window I eventually have none left for a DM window
And being energy starved in DM window feels AWFUL
good thing DM gives you a shit ton of energy
I managed to starve in raid a couple of times last night
that’s not a thing
Wait wait wait
😭
Is spec ded?
@real pike have you tried applying poisons?
no obviously fucking not
i feel like i’m playing a different spec than y’all

why would it be
Hehehe all 4 of them even
it was strong 2 days ago and nothing changed
I need to listen to ILLIT or something y'all are raising my blood pressure again
need me some girlypop
But guys! Rtwf raiders played only sub!
VV + 0 blindside procs = I managed to spend more than I gained a couple of times in full ST
Sin must be dead!

blast some russian girlpop
Yo one question: I was in a 14 Dawn, why is the warrior TANK dealing more dmg than me ? 🙂
hey, i came back on my rogue, doeas assa is playable for now or full bug like its pinged ? play more in mm+ than raid
you’re bad idk
Warrior tank is the answer
prob
get ruptures out for energy and maintain crimson tempest
yea
i mean i can play this spec, but what the fuck happened
im 1,2m overall down to everyone else, can'T be
clearly not
sin aoe is very good right now
I was using second shiv to cover end of KB rather than end of DM, presumably this could have been causing energy problems
as it has been the whole expansion
Prot warrior st is insane high

Me when parents are getting divorced

Fix rogue daddy blizzard
Dad divorced and lost custody of the kids
Dad went for milk it seem
Ranged talking about mechanics and stuff on soul hunters, im just playing the boss like this
I was playing the bottom usage brain class and swapped for the middle child daddy blizzard forgot the existence 
first time playing sub in raid went insanely well 
Yeah but on mythic that fight looks aids
rupture garrote crimson then you do 360 all over the arena
If you dont have 3 aff and 3 shadow priests
Its mostly the same as hc
being in this channel for nearly a decade straight it like mental cock and ball torture except it's not my kink and I'm rudely awoken to a CIA agent waterboarding me with a gallon of sparkling wine so my brain is oxygen starved and I'm also drunk and I start hallucinating so hard I genuinely start to imagine a reality where I end up in a threeway with my drunk double-visioned Salma Hayek
yeah i get that

Relatable
i feel like the outcome is pretty good tho ?
Yeah but your advice has helped some random Englishman go from blue parsing to slightly better blue parsing so that makes it all worth it right???
Its time to take your meds grandpa
imaginary but at least its good imagination no
it's like walking into the light when you die
World of warcraft? Rogue discord? What are these things? You just shat your diaper
better than falling to hell goat
have you seen some of the takes in here king? Rather shit myself than throw up in my mouth reading some of the delusional garbage people be spouting


I'm still recovering from the guy we banned like 2 years ago that was crashing out about blizzard devs not fixing a bug on a sunday, specifically the 25th of December
Wait what?
and then saying that his family works in hospitality
so he knows what it's like having to provide for people during holidays
holy based
that shit actually mental boomed me to this day
valid crashout 
sound reasoning
25th of december is the day we all eat cakes, rewatch shitty movies, and fix broken codes
a day you spend with your loved ones
all huddled around the TV
peer-reviewing lua
the way god intended
I try to be lusional but sometimes I do be asking dumb shit I'm sorry
As someone on a computer science degree, i can not imagine anything better than fixing godforsaken code i wrote 

Spending hours trying to bugfix something just to realise the real bug is my brain
you don't even register 90% of the time I'm so numb
yeah yeah this one
highkey insane how hard he tried to ego u LMFAO
hospitality management* 

ok so ive just seen the bugs video
you'r telling me we lost around 15% aoe damage this week
cause of a hotfix that nerfed us and then caused a bug that nerfed us again

if you're using momentum of despair you probably lost like 15%
but you can get 5% back from taking follow the blood instead
hi, got a question. so my rl asked me for a droptimizer and i saw the option to choose prefered secondary stats. should we go for crit mastery or crit haste?
yeah cause they're doing so much better in the bug department right 
doesnt matter crit mast i guess
just sim crit mast, it's the safest option

thanks ❤️

Also tbf like 4-5% of that was intended
the ultimate fuck you from blizzard would be if they just fixed sanguine blades double dipping and nothing else
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/character/eu/ragnaros/disguise?zone=45 Would anyone be able to take a look at my logs & tell me how bad I am and why so i can improve?
that would be insanely based
tryna make me mad on this glorious monday (i thought it was sunday until about an hour ago)
I was just about to type that
Why it was posted in a random hotfix note and not with some classs tuning i cant say though
nah i now they are buggy af also, but rn theres like 4 keys that sub is really good, i was already thinking of playing both and this 10% thing pushed me oof the cliff
i mean the most important fix was the Inevitabile End name fix :3
fuck it just fix sanguine blades and tails coins proccing seal fate and call it there
true
havent played sub since df s1, its been itching me
assa broken anyway
tails crit cp is the funniest shit ever
how do you even manage that

that's because deal fate is limited to a couple specific builders
meanwhile I just fucking KNOW seal fate is "+1 for everything that has a CP gain != NONE" and some fucking guy set Tails to have CP gain = 0 rather than NONE
(that's my theory anyway, that's how shit happens in gamedev)
Honestly good theory
I made that mistake in the past
does assa need haste for m+ ?
not really
just sim your stuff, you'll likely arrive at below 20% haste tho with best gear, but ilvl+stat amount will carry anyway
i have 6% right now
anyway yeah, sim
you don't have any special interactions with haste is all
so it's likely other stuff will feel better but there's no point in avoiding haste, either
where are times we had sheets for "siming"
we still have them, just better UI
you young whippersnappers
back in my day we heard some weird myths about +hit% chance being a capped thing
sim sheets are useful for exactly 1 thing
showing the maximums
but then people see the maximums
and they "oh I need this gear" or whatever
which isn't true
Oh thats my BIS list!
and so instead of just seeing a maximum, they start to apply it to their characters
and then it gets messy and wrong
and stupid
I love my bis lists 
raidbots these days is easy enough to use that you can get infinitely more accurate results
sim sheets just simply aren't good enough
I would like to keep my right to press BIS in consul loot because funny haired man said it is so on the internet
yeh I mean that's probably not going away unless we genocide every idiot raid lead
we have a bis button on our RCLC but it basically means nothing at the end of the day 
is dungeon slice accurate for us?
Haha in vanilla, I remember when they discovered that and we fallowed elitist jerks forums to be in the theorycraft loop
i use it for trinkets basically
yes
yeah
ty
just grab a mythic piece you don't have, when you have every mythic piece, sim and change them for a 0.001% upgrade
but also almost every class has the same BiS trinkets
I asked if the BIS button on rings was correct and i got made fun of 
Mfers pressing Bis and then the note is "catalyst"
real except internet traffic was limited so I didn't go to any forums
at the end of the season when you have full gear just keep re-simming until your sim RNG's into a higher number than the simcraft BiS profile and then ping me that the profile is wrong (this has happened multiple times) [don't do that, it's dumb]
It is better to spam envenom than to play around sanguine blades on st right?
yes
We had that and then a mage complained and said, 'not a serious guild, doesn't respect bis lists' later. He was serious 
fuckin' mages man
seems like punishable offence to me
@balmy condor hows your prog going? Are you on sub duty yet on araz?
Yo , question there are some dung where i really underperform as assa , is there like a cheat sheet or a guide where other rogue specs do usually better in some dung or is it just me being a pleb
First, watch some streams to see how other ass rogues play (like zerocool, he has an addon that shows ability presses) and then you can analyze top dmg logs
I'm gonna try and make fatebound work or something idk
that seems like the way
and if someone says assa sucks just tell them "this week assassinaion is bis here"
yeah thats normal. lke streets are not that good for us as there are 5 bosses and our ST is not that stron. Tho some tanks may help you by pulling some trash on boss.
I mean it SHOULDNT be the way
fatebound on araz
is the dumbest thing I could imagine
well, the world we live in
So whispy you said your making like a part 2 on the vid right
but with all the fucking bugs deathstalker seems so dumb
that it might actually be worse
It could be since deathstalker bugs
What if everyoen just sends a ticket
maybe a single human could respond to at least 1
Even with 0%xtra tail dmg
the cd align so perfectly for the burn phases with fatebound
Even then, the 4pc doesnt work sometimes
Yeah im contemplating what to do on araz as i dont have a verse ring yet for sub
Sub is still good but post araz nerf the adds dies before cold blood sectech
But burn dmg is still insane
yeah but you also self-nerf during the AoE/p3 and deathstalker ends up being able to crank out an extra ~8% boss damage from singular focus
IF IT FUCKING WORKED
Big true
so i take we don't close the channel till fixed?
I'm just gonna repost that
I tried both on hc and my experience was: half the tries on DS were a mark jugling clustterfuck and the other half with FB was heaven
well you just vanish ambush in the damage amp
the mark juggling is so overblown
and kinda yeet the mark in intermission and if you lose it its whatever
Uber what are these little creatures even from
I thought that was peter griffin before it turned around
a swede posting a japanese character with a mexican song on top
when was i swedish
DIN JÆVLA FEITE FAEN, DU KAN GÅ Å EDA EN BÆSJ
uh can I ask how does the rotation change with big CD's with 4set fatebound (shiv, dm, kb, shiv, but what then, when the cd's get shortened?) but i guess it's not easy to answer as the tier set sometimes doesn't work? xD
Could be worse, he could post a banana curry pizza pic from last night
2 shivs in deathmark, 1 shiv in non-deathmark kingsbane, vanish every other deathmark
do we send a KB after with 1 shiv as well, or wait it to align with DM again?
oh nvm im blind ty
Jusdt did a run where every few seconds the mage said "showtooltip"
mans macro's were fucked
Its well written
any blueberry pizza enjoyers?
Dunno if I wouldve said it as friendly as you 
/s howtooltip
not enough ret bashing for my taste
You disgust me
would an italian blow up if they got served this?
Tbh i'd take off the blueberries and eat it
I would blow up and im not italian
But i'd try it with a blueberry
I just don't like them in general
In muffins they are ok though
at what point does it stopping being pizza?
blueberries are insanely good but put them on my pizza and we are fighting
As soon as there is any kind of fruit or anything sweet involved
I generally like sweet things in my food, like mango or pineapple but blueberry seems a bit much
how do we fix cold blood bug ?
sweet chilli peppers are ok tho?
well pineapple on pizza is the best topping
relog
What about pizza on pizza
I mean thats not really sweet. More along the lines of chocolate and stuff
the forbidden pizza
ngl I hate having to preserve mark seven times rather precisely during Araz
and if someone crits the pylons extra hard, I lose it
Its just as disgusting as blueberry on pizza
he says absolutely
I try to switch it to adds when pylon is below 50%
the place they serve that abomination is on åland so I am fine with just giving it over to sweden at this point @humble verge
åland 
but it is taking too much brainpower compared to regular assa gameplay
@balmy condor cheers mate
come to the fatebound side
i do on ST
it's really nice to not have markfuckaround on most bosses in the tier
7 times?
can we just like
have trickster for assa or smth
I've only done hc, is it more in myth
well the fight is longer i guess
They should delete fatebound and improve deathstalker. Thats the deal I would take any day
on hc it's still 7 times (twice each pylon, three times on boss, but you can compensate for two uses with vanish, so it's 7 rather than 9)
In heroic we had 3 groups doing one pillar each, I guess in mythic you have to rotate round all 3 like god intended?
we're already rotating
hmmm
wonder if splitting is better
we kill one by one in heroic too
but the raid basically wants you to kill one of them super fast due to no elementals being there to absorb the charge
so you have to all-in that one
then deal with the rest
Ye I remember on the RCP video I think it was he said to all do the highest energy one first or something
Then our RL was like we split and have 3 groups pumping one each
that is just stockholm syndrome, just play fatebound and you will be free of this fuckin bugged mark and get dopamin hits rolling 15 tails in a row
And I was like oh ok but it worked
But it almost certainly won't work like that in mythic
Oh yay I love seeing random icons with 0 interactivity and gameplay changes
I get depressed playing m+ now after I got a taste of fatebound
the dopamin pump is real, I rolled up to 20 heads and was able to chain it into another KB
Nah deathstalker in itself is the better tree if they fix some clunkyness. Also more thematic.
Deathstalker design is miles better
Some random rng coin nonsense is nowhere near the dopamine hit of a cranked up shivved lingering DN envenom
Inject it
you say that, but you never got your burst cds back while holding 13 stacks of heads in the burst phase
you will never wana go back
guys, how much does deathmark contribute to aoe with caustic splatter? is it a significant portion of our aoe burst? or is vanish the main aoe cd
Idk I like the big number to be a result of things that I've done, not random background chance
almost nada
It doesn't at all

Technically DP but it's negligible
^
thank you, so basically save it for ST or big prio
Ye slam on CD on any big fucker that will live the duration and you'll have 100% uptime on
sorry waht's DP?
Deadly poison
gotcha
just blow it for the nature damage buff after
sorry, nature buff after?
sorry for all these questions, completely new to rogue
i knw oit duplicates your deadly poisons
and icnrease effectiveness by 100%
but what do you mean by after?
When deathmark expires we get a buff called lingering darkness.
It buffs nature damage
anyone knows which addon/WA is responsible for the BR tracker close to the dps meter?
AssassinationAfter Deathmark expires, gain 30 sec of 30% increased Nature damage. SubtletyAfter Shadow Blades expires, gain 30 sec of 30% increased Shadow damage.
thanks you!
https://wago.io/CnbP-nyEh Might be this one maybe? No clue.
First result that came up, looks like the same one
omnicd already does it
Fair, I never used omnicd
I never use it, this information is useless for me. Either one of the BR classes rezzes me or they don't 
what is the best way to use this buff? ofc you want caustic spatter to be up, but i guess after deathmark fades you just do a 7p envenoms with caustic spatter up and that's it?
Just play as you normally would and its fine
You just do some more nature damage.
i see, i guess it doesn't really synergise much with any of the other cds
except shiv
I prefer a 14m ambush cause you are holding a bag of coins
how far behind is fatebound M+ from DS?
speaking of shiv, do we use both charges in our openers for the full duration of deathmark?

playing with the fishingpole instead of daggers far behind
thats fair xD
was only curious
!up
@spice surge hmm icy veins says to use the second shiv after deathmark expires, is that true or do we send both shivs for full 16s of deathmark
you always use both shivs during DM, then after DM you use a single shiv to get a giga boosted envenom during lingering darkness
@deep mango Prob not updated yet.
will you have the third shiv up for the end of daethmark tho?
its 30s cd after all
LD lasts 30 seconds
Are we talking DS or FB here
You dont have KB in m+. so you just follow the same rules
Thats the third shiv
after 11 seconds comes your second shiv
yeah in M+ you basically just send shiv on cooldown so you don't waste uses since bleed build takes arterial
gotcha, send shiv on cd
Yeah beside holding 2 shivs for when your DM come sup
yup, once you get rupture and tempest out, let er rip
!wa

i love rogue cds, feels so different from other classes
After your DM. you use the 2 shivs. and you can use the 2 next shivs. the 2 after that you hold again for DM>
Am I drunk or cant you use focus tricks in m+?
makes sense, timers line up nicely
probably drunk
focus kick feels mandatory for melees
as a ranged you're so far back and apm is low so you have time for mouseovers
feels so much harder to use mouseovers as melee
maybe the tank was mounted
I have 2 macros for tricks that are much better
just wait 1 min
1st macro:
/run for i=1,5 do local role=UnitGroupRolesAssigned("party"..i) if role=="TANK" then local name=GetUnitName("party"..i, true) local str="#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade\n/cast [@"..name.."] Tricks of the Trade" EditMacro("ToT",nil,nil,str,1,1) end end
2nd macro(it's important you name this macro ToT):
#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/cast [@Fuyuhime-Stormrage] Tricks of the Trade
the first macro will grab the tank name and put it on the second macro
you just have to press it once at the start of the key
the second macro is your tricks
is assa good in M+ this tier?
Nah it’s terrible
[WeakAuras: Sergeito-TwistingNether - Smart Misdirect Updated] https://wago.io/kQ2LnX4zP/3
good in aoe, behind prot warrior in single target boss damage
#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 1
/click SmartMisdirect LeftButton 0
there u go
much better
anyone has the wa that says ur focus target ?
Good lord I feel squishy on loomithar
oh god, thanks for this, was about to make one cause that's mostly the thing I wanted to try in the game
Not really
Assassination is on the top end
If they fix the bugs
Still fine with bugs actually
I'm cranking 9~10m dps on momma and 2m on the last boss of floodgate
single target makes me wanna cry
2m definitely isnt what you should be dealing
Unless you lack gear
Even then, thats S2 end of season dmg
Guys as i don't have 4pc yet, i want to understand something: With the bug we get 1min DM cd? So woulnd't the bug be good and just wait if the KB is 45 and DM 1min ?
I don't really remember how much but it's almost the same as the tanks dmg
the bug just misalign your cds once
it's like waiting 15 sec for the next KB to align with cold blood
Yeah that definitely doesnt sound right. 2.6m-ish is what they have without bl on a +16
Prot warr is at 1.7m
yeah with 2 cd's , one in execute you go above 2.5 for sure
+16 without bl is 3 CDs even
5 seconds of waiting on energy to press the next button just sucks
Well thats what sin is about, it most of the time was like that with some exceptions/abominations
feels good on aoe and resident sleeper on single
sometimes the bug still aligns your cds
I had several pulls on loom myth just now where my dm was 2 mins and both kbs were 30 sec
Bleed build is just lame I wish it was still s1 spec for m+
it will misalign your CB though
sometimes it hits just kb though and not dm
so you get a 30 second kb, but still a 1.5 min dm
Idk. Its the same amount of buttons and arguably less to do
just bring back old exsanguinate KEK
Has anyone else had tierset bugged with Fatehound and the DM was left with 2 minutes?
There hasn't been a hotfix for this yet?
Fits. Coinflip afterall.
i was convinced that i was horribly misplaying when i first got the 4p and hadn't seen the pin yet
had me doubting my whole career
dont let the truth stop you from doubting yourself
!gear
how buggy in % is assa FB st atm? or is it all aoe
Hi, on which Option i can see the details in my Log? Like at what second i used a abillity ?I just see it like this
casts, and then timeline
The St stuff is nothing to put a label on. Can be neutral if it doesnt happen, can suck or can even be a gain ig
Thank you!
The first Shiv is wasted right? I just use Shiv right after my DM and KB with Tea or am i wrong?
Nah, for FB you shiv before dm/kb because it buffs the coin damage
just did a streets m8 run, wondering if this is somewhat good? still learning the class
Works out as a gain overall
Okay, and the second Shiv meanwhile the CD's
!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
my poor kb coming up as soon as the boss tells us to fuck off
Second shiv use it for the last 8 seconds of deathmark
Is it recommend to Vanish right after CD's ?
As long as its before the use of the second cold blood envenom you should be good
So my logs seems fine on the Opener i guess, thank you buddy!
Looks fine from what I can see!
You’re fine from what I can see

any time between the envenom before cds and before the second envenom after
